Things I didn’t share Friday (5/24)
1. I’ve mentioned it a time or two before, but I’m a really big Kellie Pickler fan. She’s just so cute, endearing, and funny (whether she intends to be or not). Anyway, I enjoyed watching her dance with Derek Hough on this past season of Dancing with the Stars and was so excited when they won. If you haven’t seen their freestyle dance, you must watch it. It was so beautiful! 2. I’m so into Instagram lately. I’ve been snapping pictures of anything from my meals, to new products I’ve...
read moreDIY: How to reuse old candle jars
I have a major obsession with candles. If you walk into my house at any given time, you’ll probably find one burning somewhere. I try to burn soy candles as much as possible because they aren’t as toxic, but my major weakness is buying seasonal candles from Bath & Body Works. Because of my candle lighting addiction, I tend to go through them like water. In the not so distant past, I’d simply toss out the jars when the candles were done for good. And then I realized that I could couple my love for candles with my...
read moreHow to manage & organize your digital clutter
You may recall a post that I wrote over the summer on why being organized is actually good for our health and well-being. That post mainly covered the topic of physical clutter, but did you know that digital/electronic clutter can weigh us down too? In fact, I’m willing to bet that many of us have more clutter on our computers, phones, and other electronic devices than the kind of clutter that you can trip over and see. After all, you have to pick up your belongings every now and then (for example, when company comes to visit),...
read moreMy favorite YouTube channels
For the past year and a half, I’ve been into watching YouTube videos. I actually got really into them after Michael was born because they are a great way to pass the time during those nighttime feedings (although he only wakes about once a night now!). Not only is it entertaining, but YouTube came in handy when I was trying to figure out how to collapse Michael’s stroller (no joke), and when I wanted to learn how to get our stainless steel appliances super shiny. It even helped me remember the lyrics to the Jem theme...
read moreLet’s get organized (2013 projects)
(I sort of want to sing the title of this post to the tune of Let’s Get Physical…) Around this time of the year, many people start to make resolutions to do things like lose weight or go to the gym more often (or at all). Though there’s always some room for improvement, I feel like I already have those things pretty much covered. So for the past few years, my goals for the New Year have involved organization. (source) Last year, I was nesting, so I was kind of a maniac with my organizing projects. My...
read moreEmotional wreck & healthy eats from the week (9/28)
I’ve probably repeated this about one-hundred times now, and I’ll say it again… My pregnancy has been pretty much nothing but awesome. But for whatever reason (most likely hormones), I’ve felt like an emotional wreck over the past couple of weeks. One minute, I’m giddy and excited, and you can find me in the nursery playing with all of the baby’s things and gushing over his clothes. The next minute, I’m crying because I won’t have that much more alone time with Michael- and because I’m...
