Thursdays Pinterest

So Emily and I went to hot yoga today and it was fab. It was also very HOT. When we left, we were soaked with sweat, but it felt good! And somehow my hip is feeling better too :)

I've been getting into Pinterest lately, and I would like to share some of what I find each week with you!

This week was all about frames in interesting places. Check out what I mean...

Waaaay Overdue

So I've decided to join the 52 Lists/52 Weeks challenge put out to the world by this lovely blog getthewordsout. My sister, Katy, was a guest blogger on the blog and I figured what a great time to jump on the bandwagon.

I'm a little late, but here goes nothin'.....

Week 8- Ways to be a Great Companion

  1. Communicate how you feel, what you need, what you want.
  2. Listen to what your companion feels, needs, and wants.
  3. Compromise!
  4. Don't interrupt (I have a problem with this that I am reallllly trying to work on)
  5. Don't be afraid to show that person how much you like/love them.
  6. Call more often to see how they are doing
  7. Make the drive. It's worth it!
That's all I got for now. There is probably more, but I'm still learning :)

P.s.- Do this Laura!

Tagxedo

I have started this project on Tagxedo to make different word clouds because I want to frame them for the family room! I have already made one about family and shaped it into a family tree :) (give it a try katy, it’s fun! I’m telling you since you are my only reader :)  )
Here is another one that I made about Tommy and I's wedding/honeymoon :)

Nesting

Even though my husband (so excited to finally be able to say that after almost 7 years of being together!) and I have lived in this apartment for a year and a half, I never really felt like this place was home. Yes, I referred to it as my “home” when speaking to other people, but I always felt like it was temporary. Well not anymore! I have decided to decorate it to take more ownership of it. I think registering for our wedding helped me to do this. My husband, Tommy, is a numbers kind of guy and has always been very good at setting and maintaining our long term goals. Most recently, this has been to possibly buy a house or a townhome or condo of some kind. Haha. So after running the numbers (Well, after watching the Kardashians on tv while Tommy ran the numbers…) I have decided that I might as well make this place a little more homey since we will be here at least another year. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter where we are, but I want it to feel like home!
