Slow Start

Sorry if my posts are a bit pokey at first. The first of the year is always a little crazy. I only just finished up cleaning up all the holiday craziness this week. Since it was baby girl's first Christmas it made me kind of sad to take it all down. 

I do love the beginning of a new year though. Nothing like a fresh start to get one motivated. One of my goals for this year is to complete a lot of the little projects that got put on the back burner during my pregnancy last year. Taking care of projects will also help with one of my other goals - 

"Operation Declutter". 

"Well It's Not My Taste..."

Every time I someone says "well it's not my taste", I hear "that's hideous or  why would you want that". I think that may be my biggest pet peeve phrase. It's somewhat cringe-worthy in its hidden meaning. I have somewhat eclectic taste I suppose. It's never really bothered me when someone looks at me crazy for what I am wearing or scoffs at something I make. At least I try not to worry about it too much.
To each their own.
Personal taste is what makes us individuals. Imagine how boring life would be if everyone liked the same things, dressed the same way, read the same books.
Don't get me wrong. I often find myself liking bits of trends, not necessarily because the great fashionistas of the world deemed them fabulous but because they genuinely are something that appeals to me. I am one to respect that all styles do not work for all people and that's probably a good thing. I don't really identify with any one particular fashion movement. My home is not decorated in one particular style. I find I never read books until well after they are trendy. My taste is definitely all over the place and I wouldn't have it any other way.
