Here is my first blog post. I'm not sure where this will go but I just feel like I need somewhere I can just let it out.
Lately I've been doing a lot of thinking about how complicated our lives are today. I feel like its been a subject that has been coming up in a lot of my daily interactions. Then this past Sunday the church we visited gave a sermon relating to it. It was a great sermon and really started my thinking.
Between the millions of things I need to do on a daily basis (half of which I never accomplish), I feel like I over complicate things. A small example is something my husband pointed out to me. He said that I over complicate dinner. I'm like, "seriously"? I feel like our dinners are just plain boring. Then a few days later I read about how you can save money on you weekly grocery bill by simplifying your dinners. After reading this article, I realized maybe I do over complicate them. So my first goal in simplifying will be with my meal planning. I feel like I've already started that without even realizing it. Our lunches are pretty simple and don't change much week after week. And we're ok with that. I've decided to do the same with dinner. And then on the weekends we can have our "complicated" dinners, which is what my husband calls them. I'm excited for this new change.
Another simple change I'm wanting to make has to do with the amount of STUFF we just have in our home. We recently moved because of military orders and we are now in a much smaller home than before. And we have another kid on the way, but that is a story for another time. Since our move, I still have trouble finding places to put things especially things that were in our garage since we no longer have one. I want to simplify my life, and the life of my family. Hopefully it will get rid of unnecessary stress that I carry around.
Well thanks for listening :)
