sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between "mint" and "seafoam."
but maybe that's just me.

my instaweek #16
my husband and i haven't been able to get health insurance since we both quit our 9-5 jobs, because of pre-existing conditions. blah!
some of you know that my health has been whack lately. my parents recently found out that their family insurance still covers me until i turn 26, even though i'm married. my mom was so happy about this. she wants me to get as many tests done as i can before i turn 26, just to give her peace of mind. i don't blame her.
the problem is, i turn 26 in a month. and during the whole month of june, i'll be working at a summer camp. so that means i had 3 weeks to get in as many tests and doctor's appointments as possible.
this week was dentist week. BLEH!! i hate getting my teeth worked on so much. it was so awful, and i felt so silly in that chair the whole time. i was literally shaking (and i mean, my body was convulsing) and i couldn't help it. they kept asking me if i was okay, or if it hurt, or if i needed to take a break. and it was freezing in there, but i was sweating bullets. isn't that ridiculous?!
i barely ate for a full day after the dentist. my jaw was so sore. it still hurts to even yawn. wow, i'm such a baby. :)
so with all my appointments this week, i barely did anything else. here are my boring instagrams for the week:
1. i got a new bible recently. i love it when a new translation sheds light on scripture i've known for years.
2. i have the cutest dog ever!
3. starfish fun at the houston aquarium. look how colorful!
4. you know you live in the city when you have to park under the interstate. :)

blog tip #6: blog planning + printable
when your blog is your business, or something really important to you, it's a good idea to have a blog plan.
i have so many notebooks filled with dates, post ideas, and reminders. i finally got tired of flipping through pages of my notebooks trying to remember where i jotted down this week's blog plan. so i started to search for blog plan printables.
everything i found, though was only a week's worth of blog post plans. i usually schedule out my blog two weeks in advance, and sometimes more. so i made my own.
now for me, i decided to order this on a dry erase board so i don't have to waste sheet after sheet of paper. if you're curious on how i did that, e-mail me and i'll help out.
but for now, here's a blog planner, free for your taking!
1. day listing - this list is comprised of two weeks, starting on sundays. there is enough room on the line to the right of the day in order to do whatever you like. i usually write the date, title/idea of the post, and maybe a reminder of something i need to do for that specific post, like "edit photos." sometimes, i also remind myself to link to certain parties if need be.
2. to-do list - this is easy. write what you need to do for those two weeks. i am doing a guest post soon, so on my to-do list, i have "edit photos for guest post" and "e-mail guest post to host by may 30."
3. post ideas - this is for any amazing ideas you may have for future posts. easy enough.
4. reach out/promote - we all need community. this is here to get me to actually plan for that. maybe e-mail some other bloggers about ad swapping. or guest posting. or buying ad space. or just e-mailing to connect with other like-minded bloggin women.
remember, e-mail me if you'd like to know how i got mine on a dry-erase board. also, if you'd like something different, like a "notes" section instead of to-do, or only a one-week planner, e-mail me and we'll chat.
hope you like!
