I thought I would give you a little more insight into my batch cooking that I first discussed as a great time saver here. Today I amazingly got up before 6am and the Munchkin and Mr. stayed asleep until after 7:30am. In that hour and a half I made 4 meals, my lunches and some veggies ready to go for the week.

The Importance of Jammie Night
I saw this phrase somewhere “stop the glorification of busy” and it just resonated with me. As Americans we seem to have an almost ingrained Type A personality; obviously not everyone fits into this category and people find ways around it but it seems like everyone you meet is “tired” or “busy” or “has way too much to do”. We need to stop filling all of our time with commitments to everyone and everything. What about the commitment we should have with ourselves?
Current Favorite Healthy Life Apps
I’ve already discussed some apps that I love in the past and decided to do another installment. In this edition I’m going to share my new favorite running app and another app that I mentioned in my New Year’s post that has really put me on notice about using my phone. Once again this is going to sound like an advertisement, but I promise it’s just me living my life (sometimes I wish I was compensated for these posts!)
Simple Toddler Felt Wall DIY Project
Felt boards or books are all the rage at the moment. It started with Christmas trees on the walls that little ones could touch and manipulate and then turned into a year-round project. I decided it was time try my hand at one and also continue working on my budding sewing skills.
“Forward” in 2018
I haven’t been one to make New Year’s resolutions since I tend to fall into the Obliger(with a touch of Rebel) category of Gretchen Rubin’s Four Tendencies which means that I tend not to be able to follow through on resolutions. However this one word idea has become more and more popular over the years. There are a few places on the internet to find information on choosing one word “resolutions” such as One Little Word, My One Word and others.
Migration
I’ve migrated my blog to a more fully functional site to hopefully be able to grow in 2018. I hope you will continue this journey with me and follow me at Inside The Messy Life.
This page will become inactive so I really hope you’ll join me! Enjoy and have a happy, healthy 2018!
The Liebster Award
I started this entry in October, but it became incredibly intimidating to me to write for some reason. So as with anything we fear, I just ignored it and put it on the back burner to never see the light of day. I was so honored by Sam since she chose me and then I just felt so inadequate that I didn’t bother to finish the entry. So today, as part of my “forward” mantra of 2018, I finished it. Maybe a few months behind but at least it’s done.
I have been diving more into this blogging thing and working on making it something more regular so in that vane I’ve joined a few blogging groups. As part of that there was a post asking for our links to be nominated for The Liebster Award and I was chosen by Sam Richardson at Living Richardson. I highly recommend you checking out her blog for a little bit of everything including her post More Than A Number about dealing with love and loss. It is so raw, real, and touching that you feel it as well as the resilience and power she demonstrates when dealing with the loss of her children. It is such a tough conversation to have but I feel like we benefit when we have those tough conversations and kudos to Sam for being able to put it out there. Continue reading “The Liebster Award”
