I have been MOTIVATED

Have you ever been surrounded by overly talented people? Those who can look at a magazine and make every dress or piece of home decor in it in a day! Well, I am not one of them. However, I have been motivated. My friend Todd is married to Kim. She is a 'Jack of all Trades'. She can sew, take gorgeous pictures, paint, and the list goes on and on. Well, if not one of those type people were enough for me to know...I now have Erin Turner. Her husband Joel and I were talking today about our families. I made the mistake and told Joel to send me pictures of his kids and he said the words that made me cringe with envy..."MY WIFE HAS A BLOG". OH NO...Another One. Needless to say, I go to Erin's blog and there it is; one more overly talented person in my life. Beautiful pictures that she had taken adorned her blog... AGGGGHHHH!!! For a moment my heart skipped a beat. How can I ever deal with all the pressure of these talented, working mothers? I am sure I am not the only one who has boxes of pictures intended to be used for scrapbooking or a closet of sale items purchased at hobby lobby with the hope to ignite some hidden creative spark. This envy soon turned to motivation and this is where my blog began.

So for all of us average mother's out there with not a whole lot of talent but a lot of good intentions, I have created the Solar Clan blog. I will not be able to show you beautiful photography, give you crafting ideas or even give tutorials on how to make anything; but I will give you insight from the crazy world that is the Solar Clan - Mike, Christy, Claire, Chloe, and Michael. I hope you enjoy and maybe Kim and Erin's creativity will rub off on me --- Probably Not!!
