Thirty Things

Hi friends! I'm back. I have been busy these last few weeks, but that's not the entire reason I haven't blogged lately.

I actually had several posts for both of my blogs that were thisclose to being done and apparently my "autosave" feature wasn't working. Sadly, when I came back to publish them, they were lost off in cyberspace. Truly tragic. I got pretty discouraged since I had spent so much time writing and loading pictures.

Hopefully I can get ambitious enough to redo the posts because I had some really fabulous thoughts to share with the world. (Or at least they are fabulous to me). I wanted to tell you all about organizing spaces in my house, my new raised bed garden, and more. If you're lucky, you'll be blessed enough to bask in my glory. *Clears throat and blushes at the thought of being glorious*

So much has been going on around here - spring break, job interviews, traveling for the hub's job and to see family, helping my dad get his house ready to put on the market, repairing a water leak at our rental property, blah, blah, blah - that I haven't had time to do many of the projects on my list, and therefore felt I didn't have much to share (except those few posts I did that disappeared).

Needless to say, I've been lacking inspiration of all sorts, so I took to Pinterest to regain some. I found a post by a friend that linked a blog called Hopes and Dreams where the author took time out of each day for 30 days to write something random about herself. My friend had posted it with the pretense of neat ideas to ask your significant other on dates to better understand and know each other.

I like this idea for so many reasons. 1) All of you can catch a glimpse of me, 2) Maybe I'll learn something about myself I never knew, 3) It's a great way to capture who I am RIGHT NOW and reflect on it later, or let my husband or kids read years down the road and learn something about me.

Here are the 30 Things that Jess @ Hopes and Dreams has inspired me to share with the world!
