Amaze me August #26 ~ Check out my new Schedule ~

Posted on 19:00 by Unknown
Wow, what can I say, I am blown away at last weeks turnout. 
We had 71 link ups,  and I hardly had to beg, he he.
We had 84 comments, for the giveaway. The biggest turnout yet, for a giveaway on my blog, THANK YOU. 
If you haven't entered or, didn't take advantage of all the ways you can win, make sure you do that. I will be picking a winner tomorrow morning, March 1st, so hurry. 


BELLA'S CURRENT GIVEAWAY
FABULOUSLY DOMESTIC
Apron and Towel Set
I am always looking for new shops, to sponsor the party here, every Tuesday. So if you are interested, please email me :
bellabeforeandafter {@} gmail {.} com



This week I've been trying to figure out how I'd like to organize my time better. I love blogging so much, that my family has really started to complain that I'm spending a little too much time blogging. It's hard to hear, and I get defensive, naturally. BUT I know they are right. So while I won't admit it to them, especially the hubby, you know being Romanian and all, I can't let him know he might be right, lol, I am chatting it up with all of you. 


Do you guys feel a bit guilty with the amount of time you spend blogging? Do you wish that you could do it all, you know, 
be super mommy, 
wife, 
blogger, 
friend, 
go to the gym, 
cook healthy meals, 
have a clean home, 
make fun crafts,
do your nails, 
volunteer,
run a marathon?
Ok well these are some of the things, I wish I could do, and do well, and find the perfect balance. Sounds almost impossible. 
However I think I can do it. At least to the point that my family, doesn't miss me so much anymore. 
Sheesh, what ever will they do, if I start an Etsy shop, lol. 

Hopefully if I try to stay to some kind of schedule, things will be easier for me, and everyone involved. Also, while I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE browsing new blogs, and leaving comments everywhere I go, and browsing Etsy, I need to be realistic, and literally put a timer for myself. Otherwise I can get lost in time, and before I know it, hours have passed. Totally speaking from experience. 


I will try to reward myself, with what I love to do. If I finish my daily work, cook, clean, whatever it is that I need to do, I will earn blogging time. 30 minutes, 1 hour, etc. I know it may sound childish, but it's what I need, and I think getting my kids involved will make it that much more fun for everyone. 


I will def let you guys now, just how I put everything into place, and of course how it's going. For now, these are just my thoughts. 


Here is what I plan on this blog. Listed under each day are topics that you may see covered on that particular day.
