Fake it til you make it...

via on Pinterest


My bestie and I were having an email conversation this morning.  We were reminiscing about how imaginative we were as kids.  We had one game that seriously went on for years.  We picked out some "husbands" from the land of Hollywood {I won't tell you who they were, cause it's kinda embarrassing} and then we chose some "kids" from pictures and magazines.  We would play this strange version of "house' for days on end, rarely breaking character.  We knew what our husbands and all our kids {I think we each had 3 or 4}were doing, what they were wearing, and how they were interacting with each other at all times.  Looking back, I have no idea how we orchestrated all of that and had any idea what the heck was going on! 

We had some vivid imaginations, I can tell you that! 

But, it got me thinking about the saying "fake it til you make it".  Perhaps I need to resurrect that imagination.  What if I just started pretending to have things together?  {like, pretend that I'm the woman who works full time, runs a successful etsy store, eats well, exercises and still manages to keep her house clean.} 

Do you think that would eventually make it so? 

What about you, were you a pretender as a child?  Have you been able to use your imagination to help you in your adult life?

It's almost Thanksgiving...


I've been daydreaming about Thanksgiving this morning.  I can hardly wait!  Every year it seems that Thanksgiving sneaks up on us, and this year is no exception.  {I mean seriously, how is it November 16th already!?}  Regardless, I'm looking forward to the murmur of a house full of family, and the smell of a turkey roasting.

I have a tradition of baking pumpkin cakes for each of our families.  This year, I'm determined to plan ahead, take my time and enjoy it.  It's no easy task, but they've become legendary. 

For those of you here in the states, what are your plans for Thanksgiving?   
What's your favorite dessert to serve on the great day of thanks? 
What are you daydreaming about this morning?
