A Little Bit Intimidating

So when I decided to start this blog I had a bunch of idea of great posts I wanted to do, and I still do. I just don’t really know where to start. Should I explain more about myself? Should I just jump right in? It’s so intimidating!! So here is a little bit of explanations about what is to come:

Project Life

Project Life: Have you heard of Project Life? It is this genius idea created by Becky Higgins. You can check out here website by clicking here. Here is a quick summary: it is a picture a day approach to scrapbooking. Each day you take a picture and then journal on a card an explanation. I started doing this last year, but fell off the bandwagon. I struggled because my life is kind of boring. Some days I didn’t have a picture to take, or I did something awesome but forgot to take a picture. This year I have a new plan to take some of the pressure off. I am just going to focus on creating a weekly layout. It doesn’t have to be a picture each day, but instead 7 pictures a week and it doesn’t matter if there were taken on the same days. My goal is to post my pictures on here as I take them so that I can keep track and keep things in order.

MMEW

Move More & Eat Well: I am really excited about this project, but really nervous about posting on this blog about it. Move More Eat Well (MMEW) was created by Cathy Zielske and it is an online workshop offered by Big Picture Classes. Cathy’s workshop is a way to document and journal my way to a healthier lifestyle. In this workshop I am creating a workout scrapbook. She provides layouts each month and journaling prompts. So far what I love most are the message boards. They are filled with lots of encouragement from the others taking the class. I have posted my pages in the class and had a bunch of people leave me amazing comments. Here is what is intimidating: the before picture! I am still debating posting these pictures because there are in no way flattering. So we will see.

So starting today I will be posting pictures for Project Life (PL) and maybe posting my layouts I created for Move More Eat Well (MMEW).

Have a great day!

Welcome

Welcome to My Listfull Life! I started this blog about a week ago, but couldn’t figure out how to begin my first post. I had a few different drafts, some novel length and some short and sweet, but none that great. So instead here is what I came up with, A LIST!

  • Name: Jessica
  • Occupation: Well I am about to hear about a new job opportunity at the end of this week so stay tuned!
  • Location: Springfield, MO
  • Purpose of this Blog: Accountability. It’s a way to document and to help me keep track of some goals I have for myself, which you will get to hear about lots in the future. I have some big plans for myself!
  • Random Fact: I LOVE THE ST LOUIS CARDINALS!

I know this was a random list, but now that the introduction is out of the way I can post the things I want!

Happy Hump Day!
