Hi there and welcome to my blog! There’s something so
exciting, to me, about a fresh page with no text!
I should probably start this welcome post with a little bit
about what topics I hope to cover with my blog.
First, I’m always on a mission to organize my home and my
life. I spend so much time reading articles about organizing, but one thing I’ve
discovered is that there is no one solution for every person! My first big
project I’d like to tackle is my computer desk. I’d really like to turn it into
a command center for my family. So be on the lookout for that!
Second, my weight loss journey is a major hitch in my giddy
up! I have a 6 year old son and after I
gave birth to him I was really unhappy with my appearance. I had lost about
30lbs within his first year of life and I put very little effort into it – I basically
stopped snacking after dinner and went for walks as much as I could. It melted
away, but I’ve been stuck for five years now.
My mom has heart disease and adult onset diabetes. I grew up
in a household where food was used for celebration and comfort. There was
always food and it has taken me a long time to get out of that mindset. I’m not
blaming my mom for my weight, but I do not have the best track record with food
and weight! (More on that in my next post!)
Third, I’m a beauty product junkie! I LOVE trying new
products and could spend hours browsing in Sephora.
Right now, I’m in love with Urban Decay’s naked palette. It’s so versatile! I
also battle with adult hormonal acne. I’m always on the lookout for new
products to try on my skin to battle the nasty pimples! More on beauty in the
future!
Fourth, I love reading. Getting lost in books is one of my
favorite things to do! I just started the Black
Dagger Brotherhood series by J. R. Ward. I like it so far – I’m about halfway
through the first book. Have you read any good books lately? I am a huge fan of
the Harry Potter series and the Twilight Saga. I also love writing – although
I don’t think I have written anything worthy of publishing, it’s still a nice
escape!
Fifth, my son and I enjoy projects! I’m using the word ‘project’
loosely because his idea of a project and mine sometimes conflict! I’d love to
share some cool DIY stuff that you can do by yourself or with your kids. For
example, we just made homemade crayons for Valentine’s Day. I get a little sick
of all the candy that’s involved with Valentine’s Day so I wanted to do
something that his friends could enjoy long after the holiday!
So, lots of topics to cover here! I’d love to know more
about YOU! Do you have a great book to recommend? Do you have a new recipe to
share? Have you done any cool crafty projects lately? Share them with me! You
can email me anytime at colorcodedapples@gmail.com
I promise I’m friendly and I’ll respond!
I'll leave you with this hysterical picture that makes me crack up everytime I see it! I live in
I have no idea where this picture came from or who to credit for it! If you know, please drop me a line so I can give proper credit!
Ciao for now bellas!
