This & That Around the ‘Net

Life Ramblings

Have 20 minutes?  Here are ONE TWO THREE 20-minute at-home workouts I’ve enjoyed lately. You can get one done before you even have time to dread it.

Although I don’t feel the same way about all of her points, I found this piece about becoming a SAHM so interesting.

I’ve been dreaming of new throw pillows and stumbled upon these beautiful patterns on Etsy. I can’t convince Matt to spend that much on a pillow cover right now, but hoping I can find something similar.

I’m finding I’ve been worse about being on my phone during these long winter days, and I enjoyed this article about How to break up with your phone. Then I read a similar post on Tina’s blog with some ideas for people who need their phone for work. I checked my usage and was actually pleased with 30 minutes on Instagram, but with multiple apps, that time does add up.

I discovered this list and am planning to work my through these gf restaurants this year.

Spring is definitely on the way [although maybe you have to wait till summer to wear these in NYC?] and I took a quick peek at some casual spring dresses. Loving this embroidered dress, this gingham dress, this hi-lo dress, and this off the shoulder dress.

    Really loved the SAHM post you shared. There were a lot of things there that struck a chord.

    I also loved the SAHM link you shared. Right now as I am sad to be missing this time with my kids and don’t find my job mentally fulfilling but I think my solution should just be to find a new job…although that is not easy! Are you looking for work at all?

      I started working on my resume, and even getting that updated has been taking me weeks. Matt’s job has been a lot more demanding than we expected, so probably going to continue staying at home for now

    Check out the covers from the brand TreeWool on Amazon. I just bought 2 (in a size 2″ less than the pillows I had) and covered my old ones. Really nice patterns for a great price, since I get sick of them and like to change them up seasonally!
