Sorry, to whoever has read or wanted to read more into my life.
2017 was just an all-around bad year, for me at least. I know the rest of the world (from my perspective) didn't enjoy it too well either. But mine was just bad.
There are many things I cannot and will not even talk about on this blog but just know that I was stressed to the max and felt completely like giving up but alas I could not. I had kids to support and love and take care of along with my husband and home.
I have learned that my birth-month could in fact possibly be cursed. Why? Because it's surrounded by death. I did, however, learn this last year that August is, in fact, my most productive month. I have to find some way to keep all of the things out of my mind that I do not want there... Right?
Well anyway, yes I spent around $150 and was able to completely re-do my kitchen. The counters, cabinets and the walls (painting, at least). My kitchen is a multi-colored calm room now. It's got a deep burgundy, pale khaki, mint green, and coffee-colored array. In all its colors it just releases a calming effect... It may sound too much via all these words but in person, its really just perfect, I'll have to remind myself to add in some pictures so you can see how well they all go together.
My living room, on the other hand, is still in the midst of its renewal but then August ran out of days and I could actually slow down, but its what happened closer to the end that made me almost revert to an older version of me at the end of an August before...
Once fall had settled in though, the year had started to actually turn out okay and then by the time it did end we were feeling much better and doing much better.
Now, it's already into the second month of the year and I'm actually just really excited about it continuing the kids and us are just feeling all around a lot better than we had a year ago at this time.
I promise to try and keep updating at least once a month, as we continue to move forward into this new year!
xoxo
