Though I'm not a big fan of cooking, baking is one of my favorite things! Not only do I love having sweet treats to eat, but it adds a little extra heat to the house. After last weekend's blizzard, aka #snowpacalypse2016, I'll take all the heat I can get!
This morning I made Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins. My momma used to make these all the time and they have always been one of my favorites. It's a great way to use those bananas you bought with every intention of eating, yet you let sit until they looked like this...

The other day my husband and I made a trip to Barnes and Noble because he wanted to check out their selection of graphic novels. YES! He was the one who suggested the trip! Though we have known each other a very long time, he had never been to a book store with me until now...
This week I've been extremely aware that I have way too much stuff. Especially clothes.
I'm one of those people who will hold on to articles of clothing for the memories... like the shirt I was wearing when my husband proposed that I hate wearing because it isn't flattering on me. I also hold onto clothes that are either too big or too small for me in case I gain or lose weight. I wouldn't want to have to buy a whole wardrobe all over again... But no matter my excuses, I need to cut down. Not only on what I already have, but also my habit to stress shop for more and more clothes and shoes that I don't need. I'm not financially in a place to spend and spend and I want to learn to be happy with what I have! This is the current state of my closet. NOT PROUD. I've always been a fan of plans and lists, though never great at following through with my to-dos. BUT it's a new year and I'm starting with a blank slate. Or I guess you could say a blank planner.
At the end of 2015 I bought myself a present: an Erin Condren Life Planner. A friend gifted me one of the wedding planners last year after I got engaged and I fell in love! They're absolutely gorgeous, but a little pricy. However, since one of my goals for this year is to get more organized, I decided to invest. First of all, the planners come in really pretty boxes. If you have ever had the pleasure of living with me, you would know that I have a slight obsession with boxes. I hoard them throughout the year so that I have plenty of boxes for wrapping Christmas presents. My hubby is trying to break me of this habit... |
Hey friend! I'm Alexa and thanks for visiting!
