Return of the Blog

Remember that time I said I was going to create a blog and stick to it? Yeah, me too. I swear I had really good intentions. It was also part of my New Years resolutions to pick it back up too. I have a dear friend who is giving up social media for some time and turning to writing her on blog. This brain started churning... I remembered this old thing, that New Years resolution. What I remembered the most? How much I enjoyed my blog.  An outlet to write. A way to tell people what I want to say. A place for all things me.


I don't think I have posted anything since September 2014. I am only like 8 months off. No biggie. Do you know how much can change in eight months though??

You know what is coming next....

1. 8 months of catch up (somehow)
2. My ever changing and growing spiritual journey
3. Ups and downs of my recently diagnosed issues
4. Why not Wednesdays (My personal fav!)
5. Low Carb, healthier, lifestyle change
6. All things girlie
7. All girlie challenges
8. Any and everything in between

What do you want to read?? Email, comment, message me to let me know! (lovelacelemonade@gmail.com)

I vow to do better. Pinky promise.

No friend as loyal as a book.

This weekend was well deserved. I've been in a hurricane of craziness for the past few weeks. For the time being, the hurricane has turned into a thunderstorm. This weekend though, I took some time for myself and for my house. Take two weeks without air conditioning, and see how considerably messy your house becomes.

I sit here Sunday afternoon in my super, duper clean house. I even donated two boxes and a garbage bag of items to a church yard sale! I can't take all the credit; my mother in law came to help. *Clarification- she willingly helps and doesn't fuss.* Most importantly, my craft room is slowly getting in order. While we put the rest of the house in order, the extra room became the catch-all. There was a small, small path that leads to the closet of the extra room. The path has became more of a room, and you can enjoy the space. Especially since I added a DIY, hidden storage reading nook! (Of course, a blog to come!)

 My sewing table temporarily holds Joe's new desktop. I can't really complete anything else in the craft room until my sewing table is free. Joe is in his office now trying to put a desk together... without instructions.

I did finally get to unpack all my favorite books and line them on my small bookshelf. Endless rows of classics varying from children's literature to anthologies. Harry Potter, Jane Austen, Harper Lee, Shel Silverstein, CS Lewis, Lewis Carroll.... I could go on.

The best thing of unpacking my books? As I held each book in my hands, I could remember exactly when I read the book, where I was, the time in my life, and how those small words impacted my life. Each book had its own story and story in my life. It was a great walk down memory lane. I could pick up any of those cooks at any time, and relive the story they tell.

The title you ask? A quote from one of my favorite authors- Hemingway. When I grown up, I want to be a writer. Your thoughts, your words could change the lives of millions.

I encourage you to revisit some of your favorite books. Relive the stories you loved growing up.
