Things you may not know about me #8

My heart stopped when I was a baby.

Home Decor | A little paint goes a long way...

     Since the last time I posted about this shelf {here} I have arranged and rearranged it multiple times. I've taken photos out and added some interesting pieces. And most recently decided that it needs some cohesive color..

DIY | Pallet Wall Clock

     I've wanted to make things with pallets since it exploded on pinterest. I finally got my chance and started with a smallish project.. a wall clock.. something our living room was in need of.

"Well I can't do any self care because ..."

     Any time I talk about self care, I hear so many excuses from women on why they can't do it and how they're so tired and wish they had the time or energy to take care of themselves. "Well I can't do any self care because..." "I don't have time." "Who will take care of my kids while I relax?" "I can't afford it." "I don't know how." Etc.. etc.. etc..

"You have time for self care?"

     The question that comes after "How do you always look so nice despite having 7 kids?", is "How do you have time for that with 7 kids?!" Well...

"You always look so nice!"

     I can't tell you how many times I've been asked how I manage to always look nice, despite having 7 children. Well for starters, I don't always look nice. Only when you see me, weather that's in real life or on social media. Even then, I don't always think I look nice at all. And very few people have seen me at my worst.
