#BellLetsTalk: The Misunderstood Illness

January 30, 2019      Leave a Comment

This photo, taken in rainy Seattle, is a visual representation of my mind. On the outside, I’m smiling; inside there’s a perpetual fog that surrounds and consumes me. The fog in my mind is called obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), also known as “the doubting disease”. 1 in 40 people suffer from ...

M I N S G A M E : D A Y 1 9 MORE baby clothes. M I N S  G A M E :  D A Y  1 9

MORE baby clothes.

I was given so many clothing gifts and hand-me-downs for Ava. I am SO appreciative because I have bought a total of 3 clothing items for her so far and it’s saved me a ton of money. (But seriously do people actually buy brand new wardrobes for babies? It seems like a huge waste of money since most pieces are worn like 3 times MAX). Now it’s time for me to pass all these clothes on to another new arrival. 
I wonder what I’ll find tomorrow to get rid of?

Hint: probably the same thing as today.

I’ve never liked fall. Whenever the leaves start I’ve never liked fall. Whenever the leaves start turning yellow, I get anxious because it means that winter is just around the corner and winter means cold weather, short days with little sunlight, and dangerous driving conditions. 

This year has been different. Instead of worrying about a winter that isn’t even here yet, I’m embracing the beauty of the current season. It’s always a short one in Alberta, but I’m learning to love watching the leaves fall down like big raindrops, hearing the crunch of them under my feet, and breathing in the crisp autumn air. 

Maybe it’s because my daughter was born in October and I now have something about the season to look forward to, or maybe it’s because a COVID world has taught me to embrace the present moment more instead of always worrying about things I can’t control, but this fall has been beautiful and eye-opening.

Winter is coming, but it’s not here yet.

Woot! Halfway there.... kinda!

15 days down and 15 days to go, yet 120 items down and 345 items to go 😅

Today’s items include a mishmash of things like clothing and glassware to an unfinished crochet project and socks missing their partners.

Stay healthy and safe everyone! 💕

Thank you for your input everyone... I’m going to keep going and continue playing the Mins Game!

So here we have 2 baskets, 2 towels, a curling iron, lighter, and some more expired medicines and bug repellants. 
PSA, alllll this stuff is from my bathroom... 😬 YIKES.

Now go declutter your bathrooms because they’re probably filled with a bunch of crap too!

M I N S G A M E : D A Y 2 2 More baby clothes. M I N S  G A M E :  D A Y  2 2

More baby clothes...I swear I’m not a baby clothes hoarder! I was just given A LOT of hand-me-downs and baby clothes for gifts! People were sooo generous and now I have many clothes, most of which are in perfect condition!

Seriously though... I’ve bought a total of two outfits for Ava (one when I was early in my pregnancy and another when I was in Ireland for her to wear on St. Paddy’s Day this year). The rest have all been given to me. Do people actually buy entire brand new wardrobes for their babies or am I just an outlier with all my hand-me-downs?
