Logical Mermaid

My interview w/ Intuition x Design

So, last month I was interviewed on the podcast by @intuitionxdesign and of course im posting it a month later because I have a 12th house virgo sun and I’m super critical of my self.

If your a parent and looking to see how the Human Design System or Astrology can help understand your kids, this is for you.

One of the things we discussed was the different aura types and how we can better assist our kids emotional needs while maintaining our own energy.

Listen here!

Making Young Marriage Work

Worship or connect spiritually together. Some couples take a relaxing hot bath together, others pray like we do. What ever the activity is make sure you’re connecting for a higher purpose.
Be willing to compromise. Believe it or not, we don’t always have to agree in my house but we do have to discuss our options. Neither one of us simply puts his/her foot down when making a decision.
Make time together a priority. My husband works insane hours Monday-Friday to provide for our family. With very little time after work, weeknights are spent as family time. Our alone time together are few and far between. Im appreciative of every single one of those little moments we can share.
Have a social life. For many people having a separate social life is beneficial. I’ll admit if I had any friends that lived close I would need a night out once a month too.
Encourage each other. Dreams are good, personal goals should be wanted. Our partners should be supportive of our desires and aspirations for life.

Recently, I went to one of my favorite stores. It’s a bookstore where every item is literally $1! From best selling titles to encyclopedias, they have it all. The total duration of this trip was about an hour. It’s small but its packed with a ton of well organized sections and they have carrying bins and small shopping carts to make it even easier to get more items.

For most the most part, I am an in/out type of shopper. I like to give myself a time limit along with a budget to make sure of that. Even when thrift shopping, I manage to find what I want and leave quickly so I dont overspend. Bookstores are a different story. I seem to get lost in these places, especially the cheap ones.

I filled up my cart with all the books I was interested in- about 12. My son managed to slip in another handful also.

Even though we homeschool and have our own book collection, we visit the library often. However, we like to keep a variety of reading books in the house at all times. For non-homeschooling books, if I can’t get them at the library then my typical rules for purchasing are:

Can it found online for free?
Is it less than $10?
Will it be used for more than one person in the house?
Can it be later gifted to a friend or family member?
Will it actually be read?

Now, here comes the fun part. Actually finding a place in my already overflowing shelves to put these new items. Maybe I’ll DIY one of my projects from my last yard sale haul or maybe they will end up on the floor -who knows?
