Ah, guys… I’m a bad blogger. At least I feel like I was this week. I will admit that I’ve listened to the Taylor Swift album more times than I have actually sat down at my computer to write this week. I am not sure why, but this was just one crazy-busy work week. When I wrapped up my wedding season on November 2, I was hoping for a mere few minutes of down time. Instead I am trying to clock hours in with all of my other clients to help save up as many pennies as I can. With a bunch of expenses and the holidays on the way, ya gotta feed that pig.
So to keep my blog motivation up for next week I figured a “Five-Fabulous-Upcoming-Things-on-Friday” post would do the trick. Get excited for a few awesome topics of conversation that will be coming soon to a 2 cats & chloe blog near you!
1 // Be prepared for more house talk. I’m cleaning and organizing our home, with the hopes of putting it up for sale on December First. God help me. It’s a huge plus that Thanksgiving is the week prior… not sure why, but I volunteered to host The G Fam and The B Fam here this year. Overwhelming, but let’s be real: The only time I really clean my house is when we have company coming or a party to throw! {Am I alone in this?} So I’m mentally prepping myself for both sets of parents and siblings, along with some strangers, to view and judge our house within the next 30 days. Hopefully someone will buy it and I can continue planning and then building our new house!
2 // Veterans Day. Yes, I realize Veterans Day was this past Tuesday. {Everyone who lives in a military area, who wanted to go out and eat on Tuesday, was well aware!} But being the bad blogger that I am right now, I didn’t think about an awesome Veterans Day blog post until mid way through my husband’s free dinner at Applebees, midway through the holiday. In college I wrote a memoir for a World War II veteran. While most of the kids in my class hated this project, Leroy and I became such great friends, ten years later we danced together at my wedding. His stories were amazing. And they deserve to be shared. The memoir I wrote for him was later published in the US Library of Congress. I am working to pull out some excerpts from that memoir for a blog post. It is going to be a time consuming, heartfelt and meaningful post, so I didn’t just want to throw it together and then toss it up on the blog… so stay tuned.
3 // My favorite Whole30 Approved, Paleo, London Broil Recipe. I’ve taken one of my grandmother’s recipe and made it healthy! This is by far one of my all time favorite meals and it will be live on the blog next Tuesday for the Celebrate Southern Linkup!
4 // Potential Puppy Talk. YES! You read that right. Last night my dad gave me the crazy idea that we need to get a puppy before we move into our new house. No one wants puppy piddle and teething on their new carpets and corners. So… I’ve talked to the husband and if we can get Chloe’s blessing, we are seriously going to consider getting a border collie puppy… EEK! {Chloe hates dogs so we may just have to convince her that this border collie puppy is actually a kitten…}
5 // Wanna know how I plan my weekly menu? This cute craft will be on the blog on Wednesday!
Throw in Thanksgiving Prep, a blogger meetup recap, a bit more fall fashion before we head into winter, mixed with a note here or there from our sponsors and there ya have it! I have a hodge podge of topics and things popping up on the blog over the next couple weeks! I know my “Lifestyle Blogging” habits drive my husband crazy. He does not understand, nor can he handle how my blog hops from one topic to the next. I’ve tried to explain that those are the ways of girly lifestyle blogging… But readers, can I ask you - What subjects do you like to see from this blog? Are you okay with me popping from one topic to the next and then back again? Or does this drive you crazy too?
