Well hello there lovies! Since my old blog was super outdated ((and pretty much abandoned)), I decided to start from scratch. Fingers crossed that I do better this go 'round.
Usually people start new things at the beginning of a new year, but for some reason the first signs of my favorite season always lights a fire under me. I am oh, so in love with autumn and everything that comes with it- except anything pumpkin flavored. Nonetheless, the weather is [finally!] cooling off, and I am sitting on the couch attempting to get my blogging act together while the windows are open and my lazy dog is taking his 2nd nap of the day.
I'm quite positive all of you reading this (aka- just myself) have heard of Pinterest. I discovered it almost 2 years ago, and became addicted to it within ohhh maybe 5 seconds of browsing. (by the way, you can follow me, here.) Anywho- I've read and re-pinned tons of awesome stuff; most of which usually lead some pretty nifty blogs. Over the summer I started following a few of these blogs, which has lead to me completing some pretty cool crafts, as well as better organization and cleaning ideas [when I actually bother to get up and try the cool things I'm reading]. I've also talked to some girls at work who are always telling me about crafts and recipes they've (very successfully) tried that came from Pinterest.
Since I work about an hour away from home, and work 10 hour days, I decided that I needed better organization in many different areas so I can keep my house (somewhat) clean, and be able to actually feed my sweet fella a home cooked meal- at least a few days a week. I love, love, LOVE to cook, but being away from home so much makes it hard to cook as much as I'd like. I heard about 'freezer cooking' from a coworker, and a friend from church was nice enough to give me a copy of a cooking system she used for about 6 months. My goal is to do most of my cleaning and cooking on my day off during the week, as well as during 1 day during the weekend. Then, I can take it easy during the week. Although, I've already realized that my OCD version of "taking it easy" will never agree, nor allow, my tuckered out teacher version of "taking it easy."
The tuckered out teacher in my wants nothing more than to cuddle up and read a few more chapters of my book...but the OCD house-wife-wanna-be in me knows that I've got clothes to bring in off the line and fold, as well as dishes to wash and floors to mop. Not to mention dinner to cook!
I'll letcha know which one of my internal beings wins this battle! ;)
Later lovies,
Lindsey B
