Fall is right around the corner. Yeah!! I am definitely a fall girl. Maybe because I was born in the fall, I don’t know. But I always looks forward to fall. With the first cooler day in August, I pull out my favorite jeans and my long sleeve shirt and get ready for a fresh start.
Re-Group and Re-Organize
I always tend to use fall as a time to re-group and re-organize. Even though I don’t have any kids starting back to school, I seem to find myself craving a more set schedule, especially during fall. This is a time for me to rethink my routines, my organizing plans, and anything else I am struggling with.
But Keep Things Familiar
This fall things around my house have been turned upside down due to a family health crisis. Add to that the chaos of coronavirus and all the uncertainty that brings with it, and well you can imagine what my house looks like. So, I need to try and keep my routines as familiar as possible. And in doing that I have found that if I can get up and start my morning right, the rest of my day goes a little easier. For me that means a cup of coffee and my daily devotion before I start my work day. If you start your day with some quiet time to think and plan, you might just find that you won’t wake up feeling like you are already behind.
This fall, take some time to review your daily routines. See what is working and what could use a little refreshing. And if you can do it in your favorite jeans and long sleeve t-shirt, even better.
Get Off the See-Saw
Last week I experienced what I suspect some of you might have gone through, especially now as our homes become our offices and we are stuck inside. My full time work was getting in the way of my life. I had a huge project at work and I let it get in the way of my...
Sitting in Idle Does Not Get You Very Far
Recently, I sat down to work on my Etsy shop. I started by reviewing my stats. And that is when it hit me. My stats were down, but that should not surprise me. I had done nothing in my shop for over a week. Why did I expect great results when I had had made no...
When Part Time Feels Like Full Time
Spring has sprung (Finally! although today certainly feels more like winter than spring, but I will take it). With spring comes thoughts of spring cleaning. At my house, not only do I try to clean my floors, my closets, my office, and living spaces, but I also try...
How a dryer door changed my perspective
You would think by now that I would have learned just to do those little jobs I keep putting off. After all, I put them on my to do list (sometimes long ago) because I knew they would make things easier. And yet somehow they still manage to sit there undone. A new...
Lies I Tell Myself
Lately, I have felt a lack of focus. I know what I want, but I can't seem to make it happen. And to be totally honest, I have been lying to myself. All through the work week, I keep telling myself, if I can just make it to the weekend..." and I fill in the blank with...
What a Difference a Day Makes
So when I started preparing to launch this blog, my life was relatively stable, with just the normal everyday chaos. But in a matter of a few hours, everything changed. Now I will admit I have found myself questioning a lot in the last few weeks and I could very...
