Reminder: We're Moving to a New Domain

Reminder: We’re Moving to a New Domain

I’m still working with my server hosting provider to move this blog to our new, official domain. It’s not up and running yet, but it’s coming soon. That’ll be werethemoyes.com. If you have questions for me, you can email me at chelsea@werethemoyes.com. I’m excited about re-structuring the blog so it makes more sense, and doing a little beautifying on it, too.

Changing My Toxic Relationship With Food - Episode One

Changing My Toxic Relationship With Food – Episode One

Recently, my scale and I had a severe come-to-Jesus meeting, and I left that weigh-in with hurt feelings and also with the resolve to change my health for the better. If you read my previous post, you’ll know that my weight at that weigh-in was two-hundred eleven pounds. I’m only five feet tall. Let that sink in. I also did a lot of wallowing and avoiding exercise during the pandemic. Basically,…

The Bike Desk Saga Continues

I’m so excited about the bike desk, and I thought waiting until Thursday for it to be delivered was going to be torture. Fortunately, I got lucky and it got delivered a day early! I’m actually typing this blog post while using the bike desk for the first time. Okay, so I actually paused working on this blog post to write more on book 3 of my current PNR series. I closed my exercise ring AND…

Big Changes Coming Soon!

We’re going to be moving up to our own .com domain soon, and we’ll also be getting a total site makeover! We’ll be coming back with a different look, as well as doing our categories and tags a little differently. I’m excited for how things are going to shift around here, which brings me to what I’m going to be talking about tomorrow: shifting my mindset. I hope you’re all having a wonderful…

Current Obsession: Funfetti Creamer

Oh my goodness gracious, y’all! Funfetti cake is my favorite flavor of cake in the ENTIRE universe. I actually SQUEALED with excitement when I spotted this creamer in the store a couple days ago. I bought some, tried it, and I can honestly say I’m in love! 😍 I also want a candle that smells exactly like this creamer smells. Can that be a thing? I hope it’s a thing. And no, I’m not talking…

Project of the Day: Desk Drawer

It should be known that I generally hate organizing things, and I’m terrible at doing it for myself, but I occasionally do a decent job of helping others out. Check out my progress shots of organizing this desk drawer below!

All I Do Is Win...At Failing

All I Do Is Win…At Failing

I was going so strong at the beginning of the year, and then my ADHDer (with perfectionist problems) streak struck. I missed one day, then a few, and the next thing I knew, I couldn’t remember the last time I posted. It’s another fail in a very long line of failures, and I’m back to square one. Starting over all over again. I get so tired of myself, y’all. You don’t even know. I still haven’t…

I Took The Time to Actually Vacation During Our Vacation

You might have noticed that I didn’t post for several days. Next time we’re getting ready to go on a vacation, I’m going to pre-schedule posts to go out while we’re away. I really enjoyed unplugging and just connecting with my family for a few days while we enjoyed our time in Tennessee. It was so nice to just take a few days to recharge and refill my creative well. I still have PLENTY of…

Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies

To say that our 3-year-old LOVED the aquarium today would be a vast understatement. He had an absolute BLAST checking out all the fish and sharks. Pawpaw was content to spoil him and carry him even though we had a perfectly good stroller on hand. If you’ve got a little one who loves fish and sea life, I absolutely recommend checking it out if you’re in the Gatlinburg area.

Booking Through VRBO

Booking Through VRBO #travel #recommendation #fun

I have literally never been disappointed in one of our vacation rentals since we started booking things through VRBO. We’ve been using them for three years now, and I’ve been thrilled with every single stay. I can highly recommend three vacation cabins in the Pigeon Forge area of Tennessee. We have loved all of the cabins we’ve visited here. They have all been an incredible value for the…

Our Road Trip Tradition: Titus Specials On Tap

Our Road Trip Tradition: @TitusNation Specials On Tap #roadtrip #comedy

So, Christopher Titus is probably our favorite comedian ever. I don’t care how many times I’ve heard the special before, I always laugh until I can barely breathe. So what do we do when we go on long road trips, rather than station-surfing? We listen to Titus specials. We’ve bought quite a few of them. They take up a whole section of my library, and they get us from Bay Minette to Pigeon Forge…

More Stomach Misery

I don’t know what triggers it. It doesn’t matter that I take my medicine and do what I’m supposed to do. I still end up with my food just STOPPING at some point along the way and refusing to go any further. Pepto doesn’t work. Acid reducers and proton pump inhibitors don’t work. Metamucil works SOMETIMES. But then there are nights like last night where NOTHING works and it all comes back up no…

The Packing Saga Continues

The Packing Saga Continues #travel #blog #minimalistpacking

So, I looked up some minimalist packing lists online and found one I kind of vibe with. It’s the “How to Embrace Minimalist Travel and Pack Less” by Jessie Beck on the Tortuga Backpacks website. You can click here to check it out for yourself. I’m also going to run through my personal thoughts on each point on the recommended list. I’m sticking specifically to the section in the article labeled…
