Our First Home: Entryway Inspiration
Since we are moving in to our first home in a few weeks, I thought it would be fun to have an Our First Home series with inspiration and reality posts. Though our home is move-in ready, it's not quite "us" yet, so right now I'm just showing you our inspiration for decorating and furnishing our home. We really love dark brown woods and I think whites and ivories are beautiful complements. We have a traditional taste and though I love color, I'm very picky about where I have pops of color. So you might find some of this inspiration redundant or boring, but that's okay, because it's our home. I get more creative on my Saturday Home posts. I hope that you enjoy! We are so antsy to move in and create our home.

Monday Inspiration
Excuses. They can make or break us.
"Oh, I'll start my diet tomorrow."
"I had a long day and I'm tired, I'll go to the gym next time."
"I am always so tired, I should probably skip that early morning class and get a few extra ZzZ's."
"Well, I had a lot going on that week and just couldn't study as much as I wanted..."
Do any of those sound familiar? I'm sure there are plenty of other statements that you can come up with.
Though, it's true you need a good amount of sleep and taking a day off from hitting the gym is considered healthier than going 7 days a week, we need to be conscious of just how many times we are allowing excuses to dictate our lives. An excuse every once in awhile is like taking a mental health day; almost needed. But excuses made too often actually can bring us down more.
Have long days at work more often than you want? Find a way to work out at home and do the gym on the weekend.
You're certainly allowed to "forget" your diet for a night because it's not going to kill your dieting, but don't be someone that will use the "I'll start my diet tomorrow" excuse for having a cheesecake at dinner with the girls and then use that cheesecake as an excuse to overdo yourself the next five days in a row.
Another consideration: are there certain events in your life that seem to cause you to make excuses more often than you like? This might be a time to kind of take a step back and learn to find some more balance in your life.
I love the word balance, it really is such a key for life... but I'll talk about that more another day.
Challenge: next time you find yourself making an excuse, make a deal with yourself. If you make an excuse that it's okay to not go to the gym, make a deal that you will go to the gym that night but that you'll take the next night off instead. Would rather get some extra sleep? Make a deal to get up early, go to the class, be productive, then take a nice little afternoon nap.
