Day 11.  Post a recipe.  Or if you don't cook, try a new recipe and write about how it turned out (pictures please!).

 Just recently I started cooking more, so I don't have a recipe off hand. I'm going to try and make this for dinner tonight, I'll update you after with photos and how it turned out in "project 31 day 11 cont."

Day 12.  Write about what wears you out as a woman.

I think the thing that is the most tiresome is just trying to balance my daughter, my house work, and finding time to be "me". Just finding the time and energy to do something that I like, that is just for me is so hard to do. Especially when the dishes are piling up in the sink, Rowyn has gotten into some thing or another and has mad a huge mess all over the living room, and clothes are going unfolded and my husband is complaining about his lack of socks or underwear. 

This blog is actually the first thing that I've done continually since becoming a wife and a mother that is for me. That makes ME feel good and that I make time for in my day. It makes me motivated to do other things also, like start yoga, eating clean and trying new crafts. I feel hopeful when I blog about these things, and it makes me feel accountable for them. I feel like I NEED to keep going with them because I want to inspire people to make the same sort of effort for themselves. Some days it's hard, and I'm tired and stressed out and I just want to sit on the couch when  get some down time and veg out, but I make myself do these things and it makes me feel so much better after I do, like I've actually accomplished something.
