About the Blog

For my own piece of mind, I decided to create categories to organize my blog ideas.  Each post starts with the title of a category and then is followed with a corny tag line that is specific to the topic of the post.  While I hope that the things I post are beneficial to others, this is also a way for me to keep track of the things I’ve learned, the things I’ve tried and the life lessons I want to remember.  So here’s the method behind my blog organization madness.  I’ve broken my posts up into the following categories (more to be added as I my creativity improves):

Lovin’ Life – These posts are about the little things that I love in life and the moments that take place that remind me how much I love life.  These will tend to be either sappy “aww” posts or life lessons learned in a positive way posts.

Learnin’ to Clean – As my repertoire of cleaning tips grows, I want to share them with you!  I hate cleaning but LOVE having a clean house.  So I’m working on coming up with the easiest and cheapest (those cleaning supplies can get pricey…) ways to make my home feel like the clean comfortable place I want it to be.  I’m by no means an expert in this area but maybe someday I’ll get there.

Lovin’ to Cook – I thought about titling this category “Learning to Cook” because that’s definitely what I’m currently doing.  I don’t mind cooking but I definitely don’t love it.  I thought maybe if I had to type “Lovin’ to Cook” every time I post a recipe or cooking tip I’d eventually be brain washed into thinking that I actually love it.

Livin’ Thrifty – This category covers everything from my self-taught budget 101 class (also known as trial n’ error) to the ways that I’m finding to save money through DIY Projects (Do It Yourself Projects – it took me awhile to figure out what that meant when I started exploring the self-sufficient world).

Lovin’ My Crafts – I love crafts!  Especially if it’s a craft that produces something useful in the end.  My main crafty ability is crocheting so be prepared to be inundated with all things yarn until I have the time and get brave enough to experiment in the others of crafts that I am less competent in.

Healthy Livin’ – We all want to be healthy and there’s no doubt that when you take care of yourself, inside and out, you feel much better about everything else in life.  I’m really bad at this… I skip breakfast and usually barely make lunch (as I revealed in my very first post).  I’m hoping by having this blog category that it will remind me that I need to pull myself together and work on finding ways that I can live healthy so I can share them with you.

Lovin' to Organize - A clean house doesn't do any good unless it's organized too.  I love coming up with ways to make the clutter less evasive and to get all my stuff neat and tighty.  This one is kind of a never ending game because I'm always changing what I do.
