Oh, I loved reading this post and the ways you are resetting! I love making tiny bouquets of wildflowers as I walk- what a picture of walking towards whimsy and lingering with beauty. These reset goals too— I can’t wait to see what you get to! I also want to declutter and quiet my closet.. let’s check in with each other on this one.
Thank you! Okay, I officially quieted my closet and earrings! Now I need to get a few more pairs of fun pants and maybe get rid of a few more pieces as I see what I actually wear this fall/ winter!
I just decluttered my closet yesterday for very similar reasons and it feels so good already!
Also, I love the idea of micro adventures with kids. Definitely will be thinking of this during fall time with my girl.
I truly related to prioritizing my house over creative endeavors and needed this reminder: “But I’m learning to not sacrifice one for the other because they are two different but equally important qualities - order and play.” Said so well.
Yes, the order and play line got me as well! Such a great reminder. Sometimes I spend so much time trying to quiet the chaos around me that I forget to nourish myself through creativity and play. But you so are right—we cannot sacrifice one for the other.

Love the collage self-portrait! And that pattern on the dress! Cute!
So excited to be in the Creative Speed Dating cohort with you! Your collage is 🔥. Quieting my office bookshelves is next on my list, too!
Also, working toward whimsy is amazing mantra/catchphrase/goal
Thanks, Aly!! Back at you!! I expect a pic in the cohort when they are quieted (and I'll post mine too!)
And yes. I need to create a fall themed piece with that on it so I can pop it on our family bulletin board to refocus.

The best feeling!! I'm really looking forward to doing mine!
Here is a fun post I saw on insta that I might pick some microadventures to do with my girlies this fall -- https://www.instagram.com/p/DO6fjhHjbme/?igsh=dHNtMHFtbTUycjRj
Thank you for sharing this!

Thanks for these words, Elizabeth!
Love the idea of small adventures. And what a cute dress! Great ideas for creativity all around.
I also just saw a fun post on Instagram of 30 Micro-adventures for fall and thought that sounded so delightful. Might try to print it out and do!
