the New Year - 2014

January 12, 2014 The Gathering Site
Jan 09_2014_edited-1.jpg

Whoa - 2014!!!  Slow down already!  

I have a head full of goals, a 'liked' bloglovin' page of inspiration and a schedule that is still spinning our heads! I think it may be time for a list.  I've been reading a lot of other lists lately and feel like it's about time to make my own.

Since we work in the entertainment and media industry - the holidays are almost always our busiest time of the year and 2013 was no exception.  After brainstorming this is what I would like to work on this year:

1. Read, READ, read.  I love to read, always have.  I now have a reminder on my phone to read for at least 30 minutes everyday.  Turns out I missed it more than I thought!  I've already crushed a couple books and started in on another.  Suggestions??

2. Learn ProTools - I mean really - learn ProTools.  I will be teaching a course at UC in the Summer and I am always looking for a quicker more efficient way to work.  This may be the ticket!

3. Work on developing my freelance business.

4. Finish my Doula certification and attend at least 4 more births before the end of the year.  This is trickier than you would think!

5. Be more patient.  Much, much more patient.  With myself, Soren and Rick.  We could use a more patient momma in our household.

6. Give myself permission for change.  Permissions to be different, do something different and follow new paths. 

This last one I have always struggled with.  I've become accustomed to setting goals, more like standards and sticking to them.  Not allowing myself to move outside of them - boldly.  I dream, think, aspire and even plan - but it's time to follow through.  

Soren is growing a mile a minute and starts pre-school this year.  Rick and I have loads of projects planned out for this year - 2014 will be a crazy, fun and wonderful year.

Cheers!

In family, culture, Doula, SO Big

Hi!  I'm Chelsea.  I live in Cincinnati with my husband Trent, our boys (singleton Soren, the twins Marley and Mayer, the babe - Orion) and August - our ole' lady pitbull.  The Gathering Site is Trent's brainchild.  A fantasy card shop catering to the finest cards and committed client.  Trent protects, I maintain, our 4 wee gents terrorize while we run the card biz and explore this fine city.  A place to gather.  A place to play.

"Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are."

Perpetually finding improvement needs. This swing set has been a cornerstone for the kids in our neighborhood since we moved in. It’s 50 years old. The top bar and hardware have bit the dust but the A frame is still in great shape. It was time for a new top bar rig and my hubs @trentcrutcher never disappoints. No matter how many hours he works a week and how tired he is - he always finds time to help me with these projects. And spearheads a lot of them. I’ve learned how to use a drop saw, table saw and several drill supplies because of this man. Thank you @trentcrutcher #myhubsisthebest ❤️ #crutcherinc
This is teamwork on so many levels. Our neighbor has extra plywood and is donating it to the coop. Where we will all benefit from the eggs. The boys are helping carry them carefully over their new fence - then placing them in the garage to be cut lat
This is teamwork on so many levels. Our neighbor has extra plywood and is donating it to the coop. Where we will all benefit from the eggs. The boys are helping carry them carefully over their new fence - then placing them in the garage to be cut later. Working seamlessly together. Have I mentioned how much I love our community?!!! ❤️ #crutcherinc #community #kidsareawesome
This summer is flying by. This is from our neighborhood camp out last week. We are so truly blessed with the most amazing community. The boys were introducing Mbube - a South African game to their community. It is now a favorite. My heart is so full.

This little pup gave us quite the scare a couple days ago. We were prepared to say goodbye. After bloodwork we still don’t know what attacked her or if it’s old age (she’s 13!) but we do know we get to hold her for just a little lon
This little pup gave us quite the scare a couple days ago. We were prepared to say goodbye. After bloodwork we still don’t know what attacked her or if it’s old age (she’s 13!) but we do know we get to hold her for just a little longer. This guy doesn’t know life without her. However he’s prepared to let her go when it’s time ‘I don’t want her to be in pain. I love her too much’ he says. You are loved pup. Sleep the days away and soak up the cuddles. #crutcherinc #pitbullsrule #mylittlepitty
