Work-Blog Balance

Dress: Forever 21 love this one!  Shoes: Sam Edelman  Necklace: J.Crew Factory similar here  Bag: Target similar here  Bracelets: Flea Market find and Stella and Dot  Watch: Michael Kors  Earrings: J.Crew Factory similar here  Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs love these!

Today I want to pose a discussion question, rather than some random story about how crazy my life has been lately. (Some day soon I may share the story of missing my flight home on Tuesday, but we will leave that for another time.) Today I want to chat about how you, or other bloggers, balance their schedules. I am finding that this summer is far busier than summers in the past and I am worried about being able to get everything done on time.

For example, I have three trips coming up in the next few weeks, two of which run into each other meaning I won't be home for over a week. Plus, I have my real job, catching up with friends, dinners, and more.

So, how do you keep everything in balance? Do you have a monthly blog schedule? Do you set aside a time every day to blog? Do you schedule your posts weekly? I have heard of a variety of ways to keep blog posts consistent but I would love to hear what works best for you.

Please let me know in the comments.

Linking up with Tara and Three-fer Thursday today.

Christmas Eve

As I sat here looking for inspiration for today's blog post, I decided to look back at a few posts that I wrote last year around the holidays. It is so interesting to think about how many things have changed in the last 365 days. I found this post from last Christmas Eve and was thrilled to see how much my blog has evolved and grown since this day last year. 

I am looking forward to spending Christmas at home this year, with my family, and continuing traditions from when I was a little girl. So much of that has been missed these past few Christmases while I was celebrating in Michigan. It is going to be so nice to wake up tomorrow morning and spend the day with close family and friends. If you are looking for some last minute ideas on what to wear this Christmas morning, check out last week's collection here.

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
