3 Ways to Keep Your Home Running When You Don't Have Time to
While much has been made of the concept of work-life balance, the idea itself is something of a misnomer. In theory, the idea would be that you spend 50 percent of your time on your job or career, and the other 50 percent of your time on your personal pursuits. This might include things like exercise, journaling, or meditating, but it also involves literal work like cooking, cleaning, and running errands. The truth is, however, that few people will ever achieve a real 50/50 balance, and even if they do, it won't be for long. Instead, life tends to operate in seasons where at times we have more time to devote to personal pursuits than work, and less at others. When people first buy a home, they may invest all kinds of time in doing upgrades, or tailoring it to their personal style. Over time, however, the other demands of life naturally start to take over, leaving you less time to care for and maintain your home. The need for ongoing home maintenance never ends, however, so here are 3 ways to keep your home running when you don't have time to.

Fashion Illustration Art, Blending Facial Colors
I first started drawing when I was in elementary school and became very good at drawing trees. When I got to middle school it was the first time I had learned that the eyes are the window to the soul. I had an art teacher who was fascinated with eyes. She was very inspired by them, so it inspired me about them. It help that she made us do several pages of eyes for homework. This was the only time I had ever seen a teacher in public school give art homework. But, she did and while everyone else hated her, I was inspired by it. So, she went on to teach about shadows and pigments. She took away our black and white, and always told us to try to use darker colors than what you were already using to darken or lighten, instead of just going directly to you black or white to mix in for shadows. Kind of like math when we are taught to not go to your calculator and do the long division instead. It does work! It kind of trains you to have patients.
