Tattooed Martha - Daily Life 129 (11)

The response to my Daily Life post last month was phenomenal. It was so great hearing from all of you with suggestions, words of encouragement, and just overall positive feedback during a time I truly needed it. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! YOU, the reader, will forever be the driving force of Tattooed Martha and you continue to prove it to me time and time again.

In addition to all of your lovely messages and comments I also received a little care package from fellow blogger, Amber, of Gypsies Crafts & Treats. She makes amazing handmade cake toppers, garnish sticks, straws, and invitations. She sent along a Sailor Jerry and Halloween themed package that I can’t wait to use in upcoming posts. She even made a cake topper headstone for our car that was recently stolen! Haha we all had a good laugh about that one! Be sure to check out her blog and Etsy store.

Part of the reason behind my slump last month is that I’m always biting off more than I can chew, leaving me feeling discouraged and frustrated when things aren’t happening as fast as I would like. I’ve set some more realistic expectations and goals for myself and life has been running a lot smoother. I have high hopes for the future of this blog and I think you guys will enjoy the changes ahead.

I think you all know that Autumn is my favorite season so I’m trying to take things slow and enjoy every moment.

So far this month I’m..

Cooking all of my favorite warm weather recipes like Chicken Pot Pie Soup, Rum Spiked Toasted Coconut Banana Bread, Spicy Pulled Pork, and sipping Pumpkin Spice Chai Lattes.

Halloweenifying (yea, that’s a word now) the house. I’ve dug out all of the Halloween decorations I can find and started a massive list of projects I want to create to add to the Halloween effect. Even Punk has gotten into the spirit.. can you find her?

Listening to White Buffalo, Father John Misty, and Lera Lynn (I’m in a folky/Americana phase at the moment).

Drinking every pumpkin beer I can get my hands on.. so far I’ve tried 4 different types and my favorite is Elysian Brewing Punkucchino.. Pumpkin beer + coffee + the name of my cat… Of course I’m going to love it!

Reading the new October issue of HGTV magazine, The Paris Wife, and the Blog Life E-Course from A Beautiful Mess. All have sparked my passion for writing, self reflection, and creating.

Hiking as much as possible. I’m not fond of working out or spending much time at the gym so I’m making it a point to hike more especially during fall. We recently hiked to Punchbowl Falls and I saw several of the trees already turning bright shades of yellow and orange. Of course I forgot my camera so I had to make do with these low quality iPhone photos!

    I totally understand those slumps, and that sometimes a kind word and a good laugh can really help. Always happy to spread a little cheer. And thank you for the sweet shout out. ?

    Aww, sounds like you’ve been awfully productive!! I fear I’ve neglected my own blog for a while, mainly due to my taking more courses at the community college, working part-time and (and this is the big reason) working on a completely non-blog related project that will hopefully see the light of internet-day someday!

    I’m also having trouble getting into the Halloween Spirit this year, but I’ve got plans to break out my decorations next weekend, so hopefully that helps! That and looking forward to whatever sweet projects your working on, of course! ^_^

      Sometimes the time away can give you a fresh perspective and spark new ideas for content! I hope that you get some down time soon to work on your projects!
