sheeeee's baaaaaackkk!

Well, hello again. You thought I was never coming back, didn't you? Well, surprise! Here I am! It's been a whirlwind since that last time I blogged...but I realize that this is a great place for me to be inspired, even though it is me inspiring myself! I enjoyed reading back over the past year to see what I have accomplished, and although I had a really hard 6 months since I've been on here...I am still going fairly strong.
I did get over my back injury and out of my social funk, which is awesome but I ended up falling down my stairs AGAIN back in July/August? and sprained my ankle. That was delightful. Luckily, even though I had a hard time walking for a few weeks, limping made it possible to work and be social as well :).
I also had a little promotion at work and have been doing administrative duties once or twice a week with a pretty nice pay raise. I've really enjoyed it and felt that it has brought some organization to my job. It makes me wonder if I should push for management in my near future! With a new location opening up, the possibilities are endless.  Maybe not endless, but there ARE possibilities.
One amazing accomplishment I have achieved is attending school. I am taking three classes; Statistics, Anthropology and Library Information Resources. Those three classes are my ticket to getting my AA in Social and Behavioral Sciences. What I will do with that degree, I do not know...but having one makes me feel a million times richer and better about myself. So far, I am doing fantastically in my classes, I have an A in two of them and a B in one....and I'm hoping I can get it up to an A by the end of the semester. We are about halfway through!
I've also been doing a small amount of crafting here and there. Right now I am working on putting fabric flowers around my mirror. I just finished another project making my mom a necklace and making myself a bracelet. I plan on doing more, as soon as I get the motivation! Other than crafting, I've been trying to vamp up my style. I have been slowly but surely getting rid of clothes I still had/have from high school ( I KNOW RIDICULOUS, but hey what can I say they aren't ripped up and they fit me.....OK but yes, out of style, anyway..) and buying new stuff.
Now, I just need to start working out. Eating healthy has made me lose about 0 pounds, so I gotta get that cardio going ASAP. My goal is to start working out as soon as my ankle is fully healed. I would love to take a yoga and a pilates class at the JC(If they offer a zumba class, I'll be joining that as well...) because they are WAY SUPER cheaper than going to a studio ($20 for 5 months rather than $100 a month) and going on jogs a couple times a week, hoping to have time to do it 3-4 times a week. Now, writing this down makes me feel like I kinda HAVE to do it...so hopefully this works :)
I know super long and boring, but hey I gotta tell someone about my awesome life;)
Until next time

Chronicling the following: Unicorn Space, 75 Holistic, and being a new mom to two

 I feel like it's easy to create goals, but a lot harder to stick to them! You get caught up in the daily grind or something *happens* and you never get back into it (whatever IT may be).  I had a baby almost 3 months ago and I also have a 3 year old, so life is a little hectic and crazy. I also lost my dad about a year and a half ago and that was a huge mental load in many ways. Even though my baby is still young, I want to really start reaching the goals that I set for myself in order to 1. set a good example for my family, 2. be the best mama I can be (and I can only do that if I am participating in some self-care and making time for myself) and 3. well I mean who doesn't like accomplishing things? 4. be set up for success once life gets "easier"  To start, I am going to add journaling to my unicorn space goals. I want to do more than that, but I think it's a good way to get my creative juice flowing and I can figure out what I would like to do next. Ideas incl...

I think I might blog about it

I am feeling bloggy today! I'm about ready to fire up the instagram (and dare I say start up my tiktok?) again and in about a month I'll be making the switch to my fall/winter capsule wardrobe. But here's the thing...I'm having SO much fun in my current spring/summer one! I'm pretty sure I am going to combine them for a somewhat larger than average, but longer lasting, capsule. A lot of people switch theirs every season. I tend to switch it up every 6 months. Now it may be more of a "this is my wardrobe forever and everytime I buy something new I get rid of something with holes or stains" wardrobe.  Anyway- My incredibly loose formula for building a capsule is as follows:  Figure out my color scheme! I did a brown base for my last fall/winter and navy base for my spring/summer. I think that this time around I will do a navy base for my fall/winter, but keep in some of the brown as a secondary color. I also always have a cool off-white as my second base col...

Britton Bigfoot Basecamp

 FUN NEWS!  We bought a pop up camper!  And we named her the Britton Bigfoot Basecamp. Eliza is currently obsessed with Bigfoot so it felt right. We did ask ChatGPT for some name suggestions, but Alex and I came up with this on our own! I told ChatGPT that we are a family of 4 with two young girls looking for a name for our new pop up camper. We love music and the outdoors, and our 3 year old loves Bigfoot! Some of my fave Chat suggestions were Pop goes the Brittons, Popped and Rocked, In Tune and In Tents, Off Key and Off Road, but Alex wasn't thrilled with them. Luckily, some of the Chat's suggestions inspired us to where we ended up!  We are going to chronicle our renovation of the pop up, which is luckily in amazing condition. We also want to try not to spend an exorbitant amount of money, so I think I'll also share what we are spending along the way.  First up is cleaning! I have spent about $40 on a cleaner that gets rid of mildew, a mop for cleaning the c...
