Pin Day #2

IMG_1424

Before I left for Texas, I did another Pin Day-a whole day based off pins on Pinterest. You won’t see the pics I pinned this time because for some reason, NOT ONE OF THEM WILL SAVE! Seriously, some don’t even go to the websites they supposedly came from. Thank goodness I pinned all these things [...]

Day-by-Day, Pin-by-Pin

20130129-200933.jpg

Raise your hand if you constantly pin things on Pinterest, yet rarely execute anything? I’m raising both hands. Well, that is until yesterday. Over the weekend I had this idea-I’m going to plan my whole day based on pins. So yesterday that is exactly what I did. And guess what? It’s fun and it makes [...]

Goals for 40 Days

Taking inspiration from Jon Acuff’s post on goals for 52 days, I’ve set goals for the next 40 (that takes me up to my birthday). Tomorrow I will talk a little more about how I came to these goals, but for now, here are they are: Lose 5 more pounds by working out 5x a [...]

A Time To Learn: Don’t Share Your Goals

Okay, so I listened to a new TED talk today (I swear I will write about other things in the future). This one was really interesting and I had to share. Derek Sivers spoke on the idea of keeping your goals to yourself. He stated that psychology tests have shown that when you tell someone [...]

A 15 Minute Day Planner

15_Minute_Day_Planner

I know I wrote a while back on taking my to-do list and doing each item for only 15 minutes. Well guess what? I found a printable list that helps you schedule out those increments (and check them off!). You can find the list by clicking here. I wrote out my list this morning, but [...]

A Month Challenge: Photoshop Basics in 31 Days

Oh how I love Pinterest. Not only can you find amazing recipes for foods you never need to eat (like cake batter fudge), but also workout guides, free printables and tutorials for just about anything under the sun. I came across a pin for Photoshop Basics in 31 Days. In case you haven’t noticed, there [...]

My Goals for 2012

So it took me a little longer than a week to post my goals for you all. Yikes. This is a little scary. To actually put my goals out there for you all to see and hold me to? Um yeah, that’s scary. But I promised I would, so here they are. And hopefully I’ll [...]

Forgetting the Past

These first few days of 2012 have been interesting. As I’ve mentioned, 2011 was a great year in my life and I’ve had a hard time letting go, as if life really has a cut off between December 31 and January 1. But in my head I keep thinking, “I want more 2011! I just [...]

Happy New Year!

Happy 2012 everyone! I wanted to share with you my take on resolutions in the new year. I feel like people rush into their resolutions and that’s partly why they get broken so often. So here is my suggestion ( and also what I’m going to do), take today to write down all the different [...]

A Time for Perspective: Goodbye to a Fabulous Year!

If I’m really honest, this is my absolute favorite time of year. I love to reflect on the past year, and I love to think about all the possibilities the new year may hold. I’ve spent a lot of time the past few days thinking through 2011 and it has been an AMAZING year. This [...]
