Spring is here : )

And with it, plenty to do.  Which is probably why I haven't posted in a while.  But, I'm happy to update that I've been doing pretty well with this month's challenge, no major slip-ups since the beginning of the month.  I haven't even opened the box of shortbread cookies my mom sent me in the mail (I think she forgot I gave up sweets this month...love ya mom!).  That's okay, it will be my motivation to make it through to the end.

Is anyone else taking on this month's challenge? If so, let us know how you're doing! If you haven't, it's not too late!

Just thought I'd take a little study break to update you on how poorly I've been doing with the new March resolution.  Ever since I accidentally had a thin mint at my cousin's house last week, things have kind of gone downhill...sigh.

But today is officially the first day of Lent, which means I really am going to try to do better.  No more thin mints (or any girl scout cookies...did I mention that I LOVE girl scout cookies?) or ice cream, or cinnamon scones. 
Maybe typing it all out will help me stick with it...

Anyways, hope everyone is having a happy March so far :)

Love,
Erin

A New Month

Wow, I can't believe how bad I've been about posting this month! I guess things got busy at the end with midterms and all that...but now spring break is here along with a new month.

But first, some parting thoughts on February:

Being without Facebook for 28 days was not easy.
But I can't help but agree with the saying...sometimes ignorance really IS bliss.
It was nice to see my friends and actually get to hear about their lives, without having already seen their latest status update or pictures posted.
It feels good not to be so preoccupied with other people's lives, to just BE in your own present moment.  I know I struggle with that on a daily basis, always thinking about how I can make my life better/more exciting/more organized.  It's good just to be content.
But...
Facebook is good for a lot of reasons too.  Keeping in touch with friends, wishing happy birthdays, organizing events, making new friends.  Like anything else, it's what we make it.


So, goodbye February, hello March!


In true resolution style, this month is going to be all about "guilty pleasures."  A big chunk of March is during the season of Lent, so we thought this would be a good month to focus on giving up our own little vices.

My guilty pleasure? Sweets, without a doubt. (My long-term relationship with ice cream could probably use a little break)
What's yours?
