DIY the Laundry Room

One of my fiscally fit goals for this month was to fix up my laundry room. 

This poor neglected room has never received much attention and with my desire to learn some more "hands on" renovation skills- I thought this would be a good step.  

(I'm really the only one who sees it, so if I mess up- no big deal, right?)

It took me a couple of weeks to muster up the energy to get started, but as soon as I did it all came together quite smoothly.

I already had the gray paint, so my only expense was the yellow paint/primer, knobs and the new ironing board cover.  (Truthfully, I was a little nervous about buying a paint color called "Citrus", but I decided to go all in on this DIY)

In all, I spent $47.  

I checked off a goal, made my home a little nicer, created a brighter space to conquer the dirty clothes, and felt good about myself in the end. 

 In fact, next month our FFC meeting will be all about DIY projects with instructions from a professional, pretty great.

  

Falling in Love with the Pursuit

The true essence of a happy life is 

FALLING IN LOVE with the 

pursuit of your dreams...

This quote shared by my yoga teacher has by my constant companion this week.

I have so many dreams of who I want to be, where I want to be, what I want to achieve, and really what is most important of all of them.  Instead of wondering why I'm not already a millionaire, a mother who never loses her temper, a wife who always looks great, a woman with a constantly clean house, a friend that never forgets birthdays, a sister who keeps in close touch with her siblings, a feature article in Money Magazine, or living in Hawaii-  I will remember this quote.

I will be ...falling in love with the pursuit...
