This summer’s motto: let’s do it! I’ve realized recently that we can’t live life thinking ‘what if ____ happens.’ Living life that way, we’ d miss out on a lot of great memories. We survived taking our 9mo baby on a 12 hour road trip and had an absolutely amazing time. Sometimes we do things that I’m sure people say ‘why are they doing that?’ like taking our bean to Kohl’s at 10:30 this weekend, letting Soph climb into the shower with me with all of her clothes on because she’s being needy or as everyone with babies is leaving the festival for the night, we’re just going! If our girl is happy though, we’re happy. We want her to experience all the awesomness that this world has to offer and we’re not going to say ‘what if ____ happens’ but ‘let’s do it!’

There was a graffiti in my high- school that started with: Life is like Nike: Just do it! Your post made me think of that one. I think too many people waste their time on what ifs instead of just following their heart.
I love that! Nike was dead on in their slogan! It’s a great one to live by…otherwise, you’re not living!
YES!!! I agree Let’s Do It!! We only have one shot. I know I’m a mega worrywart, but I’m also a dream chaser and fun-seeker. Let’s seek all the fun and chase all the dreams… always!
XOXO
I’m a worrier too! My tension headaches have been bad this week…for honestly no reason at all!? But I’ve not let it hold me down from playing with Sophie because the weather has been perfect!! Wish you were still in CHI so you could be experiencing this 60deg weather! It’s weird!
That’s right! Live life without caring what others think and living without regret!
Good for you! I tend o always immediately think of all the reasons something *won’t* work, and it’s really not a good way to live.
I had been thinking that way at the beginning of Sophie’s birth. Everything seemed too hard…and some things really were. Now that she’s older I’m realizing the only thing we’ll lose, if things don’t go according to plan, is time and a little money. The rewards, if things do go as planned, outweigh time and money so it’s always been worth it.
