balance

a balanced diet is a cupcake in each hand, right? ;) via
Why hello there, blogging world! It's been a while. For about ten months, I have posted often; for about five months, I have posted every MWF; but then for the past week and a half, I haven't posted at all. So it hasn't been that long I suppose, but my consistency really fell off the face of the planet.

That's because right now, I'm just trying to find some balance in my life. There are so many different things we can devote time to in our lives, and I want to make sure I'm deliberately choosing the things to which I devote my time. I'm sure blogging will continue to be one of those things, because for the first time in a long time, I'm enjoying writing. I also enjoy making new friends in the blogging world. But I just haven't quite figured out how I'm going to balance everything I want to spend time on. But I want to, because I want to grow! And even though that might take more discipline, planning, and even discomfort, that is my goal :)

And in the meantime, why not grab the free 5x7 printable I made to go along with my goal? :) Enjoy!

our first murder mystery

A murder mystery been on my "party list" for ages, but I've never gotten around to throwing one (probably because there are too many other ideas on my party list haha). So even though we were planning to do Harry Potter movie parties every Friday and Saturday in October, when my friend asked if we'd be available for a murder mystery, I told her I would rearrange my schedule to be there! Haha :) When the actual invitation came, I was super impressed because it was so themed and legit! Diana went above and beyond -- the kit they bought (from  Night of Mystery ) came with invitations, but she had someone design different ones that were so awesome. Girl knows how to get the party started right from the get-go! I had heard about and seen other murder mysteries before, and the main thing I always heard about was people dressing up. It was so fun to arrive at Diana and Michael's and find that everyone had really gone all out with their costumes! Wigs,

Lately I have been looking for a nice purse. I always carry a bag around, and so I want something that looks nicer and more grown-up. Trouble is, I can't make up my mind! So for today's 5 on Friday, I'm showing the options I have. Please help me out! :) one.   couldn't find a picture online so . . . you get my inadequate photography skills on this one :) Cobalt Bag: Burlington Coat Factory Similar:  A.   B. ++pros big enough to fit my planner best price ----cons might be bigger than I want limited organizational features (only two giant sections; no smaller compartments and zipper areas) two.  Coral Bag:  Target ++pros smaller size love  all of the compartmental options ----cons I have a lot of shirts this color, so it will look either too matchy-matchy, or the two very similar colors will clash won't fit my planner three. sidenote: I don't actually wear cross-body purses across my body (pict

one.  Remember that secret I mentioned last week ? Well I guess I'll tell you now, only it's in a sad way rather than an excited way. We were contemplating moving to England for six months sometime next year (around May). It was a secret because we hadn't decided whether or not we were going to do it yet. But now we've made our decision, and we're not doing it. But I figured I should still mention it since I left you all hanging last week. Someday . . .  two.  As I browse blogs, I often come across bloggers wearing adorable clothes and linking up where they got the clothes from. They always say stuff like "I got this amazing dress, and it's so affordable! " I'm amazed to see what prices people call "affordable." And I'm not trying to be mean--I just think I have a different definition of "affordable." I could afford  just about any outfit that people post about. But I'm a bargain shopper. I don't pay more
