When I’m rushed, I tend to break things. And bruise myself on accident. I suppose there are many benefits of slowing down!

I just found your blog via Remodeling This Life (I think) and I’m so enjoying it! Going to go read some more, but I want to say hello and comment on your amazing kitchen remodel… Well done!

I had so much fun reading your blog. I dug you out from an apron giveaway for a story about small housing. I got too absorbed reading other ladies’ stories. Yours fascinated me. I thought: well, at least you don’t have to add children to your cramped quarters. It’d be a whole lot harder. I grew up in a 2 room (1 bd US standards) apartment. When I went to visit with my family, now 4 children we had to eat in shift in the tiny kitchen. I didn’t like living in Europe at all, in the cities especially. I lived with a toddler in one hotel room for 3 months in Budapest, pregnant in Moscow, with a newborn and a toddler in Bosnia and European style housing is not a family size for sure. With my 4 children growing bigger every year it would be a challenge. Be blessed and hope you learn German. Wish I was there to capture the moment with the mixer. Hysterical! I appreciate the good ole’ USA so much after I come back from living overseas!

I wish more people were patient. I am told by others that I have a lot of patience. Patients and other people work with tell me that frequently. I guess I am blessed with the ability to be patient. I had to laugh at your comment today about maybe having more scratch and sniff photos. Too funny. You cracked me up the first time you said that.

Another great reminder! I’m continually hurrying and having to do things over again because of it. And I have absolutely no reason whatsoever to be in a hurry…except for right now because American Idol is coming on….!
