Somewhere between graduating college, getting married and having a baby (newsflash!) my tastes have changed.
The things I thought I enjoyed, I’m not sure if I actually enjoy them. Like, yoga. A practice I have flirted with on and off since my teens … do I feel like going to a yoga class (other than a baby and me yoga class)? No. I don’t.
I’m a classically trained opera singer. Does this mean I’m out and about at choir rehearsals or teaching voice lessons? No. But I hope Max likes his Mama’s well trained voice.
So, what do I like doing now? Aside from spending all my free time with my family, I’ve found the things I actually make time for include:
blogs — which I think falls into writing/reading
taking walks — this sounds like exercise
furniture — man, that sounds pretty boring, but I love browsing furniture stores. Confession: I’ve made it to Restoration Hardware two weekends in a row!
coffee — yeah, it used to be wine. red wine. wine tasting. Now, I’m already falling asleep by 8:30! Wine would surely shorten my night!
mommy things — cloth diapers, breastfeeding, ya know, that sort of thing. Bring on the parenting magazines!
fashion/clothes — mostly talking about fantasizing about Zulily here, but I get excited about the concept of going on a fall/winter after baby shopping spree. Also, in love with thinking about buying baby clothes – can’t resist Baby Gap!
cooking — dinnertime is usually a success if there’s a hot meal on the table every night of the work week, but on the weekends, I love making waffles with my new waffle maker, brewing coffee and anything else that strikes me.
So, it’s low key stuff. But these things make me happy.
Now, if I only had the discipline to write about all these things in this blog on a daily basis. That’s the goal.
Still holding off on making Pinterest a hobby, but how I would love to create a collection of Living Room ideas.
Here’s the Living Room look I’m in love with right now.
