When Husband and I got
married I became really unbalanced. All I wanted to do was hang out with Husband
(which is good, picked the right man), to the point that I never hung out with
my friends or had me time – I started to feel really exhausted. I began to
realize that I was so drained because I wasn’t rejuvenating myself in any way!
This was in no way Husband’s fault, he would always encourage me to plan things
with my friends or go out and do something for me…he was asking me to go get a
pedicure! But it was like going to the gym (which I also wasn’t doing), when
the moment came to put on my shoes and leave Husband I didn’t want to, even
though I knew it was ultimately good for me and would improve my mood. People always
say that the first year of marriage is hard but they never get very specific as
to why – for me the hardest part has been balancing and remembering to me in
the balance.
Once I got going on
doing things it became an addictive habit! I suddenly have so much more energy
and I am so fulfilled – apparently my key to happiness was a hot glue gun (and
many other craft supplies that are overtaking my little apartment). Now I am
trying all the things that I’ve been pinning for months and to keep this going I’ll
to be blogging about my Pinterest adventures, what works and what doesn’t! Here’s
the format and some things I’ll be trying:
Monday jump start
Exercise regiments, motivations, and health food options – I’m hoping by doing this on Monday’s it’ll rev everyone (and
myself) up for the week! Things I’ll be trying:
Home Turf Tuesday
Home décor,
organization, cleaning, ect! Things I’ll be trying:
Wednesday num-nums
Kitchen goodies! Recipes,
food storage/preservation, presentation, ect. Things I’ll be trying:
Thursday Thrifty Threads
I’m a talented thrift
store connoisseur! This will be outfits, amazing finds, DIY alterations and
whatever else comes forth. Things I’ll be trying:
Fit to be seen Friday
Beauty tips and tricks
for beautiful hair, make up and skin. Things I’ll be trying:
Saturday Special
Shopping deals that I've found, random things/announcements from my week...a special whatever I want.
Check back to see how
these work out and to see how I change them to be more effective/idiot proof.
Love your blog! Found you from Clothed Much.

Thanks for following Kimberly! I saw your request for Why I'm a Mormon Mondays - such a good idea! I'm working on a profile for you, course I imagine that you might already be filling up, but it'll be good for future material. It's hard to put yourself and your faith into 300 words or less!
