“I can do it, so I will do it” has been a recurring theme in my life.
I like bread? I’ll bake it myself—and make it sourdough.
I love the new dress styles in stores for my girls? I’ll sew them myself, using fabric they picked out.
I like tomatoes? I’ll grow them—and why not can salsa while I’m at it?

Thankfully, these haven’t all happened at once, but they’ve each had their season in our home. For someone who loves to simplify, there’s always room to reflect: Am I really simplifying… or just doing more under the label of “capable”?
