“I can’t wait until my son starts to talk!!! How cute! Btw, congrats!” Lisa at http://bitesforbabies.com commented on my last post, after I included a few “Things Kylee (my 2-year-old niece) Says” to my post. My reply, “They are cute Lisa, but I haven’t written my post yet about my niece’s constant babbling and my sister biting [...]

“She explained to me that if I wanted to be successful, I needed to be soft on the inside, I had to have a hard shell, and I had to be willing to stick my neck out.” — Nikki Stone Last week upon returning from The Villages I found a package in my mailbox from [...]

So I mentioned yesterday that I had been “nominated” for a Liebster Blog award. Well, that isn’t exactly true! I’ve been presented the blogger to blogger award by fellow blogger Danielle of “Things Carter Says.” If you haven’t come across this blog yet during one of your Web-surfing escapades, check it out.

To be or not to be optimistic: That is the question!

March 28, 2012 | 2 Comments

“Optimism is something we can improve with practice.” Are you a glass is half full or a glass is half empty kind of person? Really think about it. For some of us the answer to that question may come easily, others may have to sleep on that thought for a while. Then there are a handful [...]

Did you know?

I know I spoke about New Year’s resolutions in my last post “Finally, a new year resolution I can keep!” but I couldn’t help but share this little tidbit of information I found. According to www.happypublishing.com, “Studies suggest that 20% of resolutions are broken within the first week of January. At least 80% are broken [...]

Finally, a new year resolution I can keep!

March 24, 2012 | Leave a Comment

It seems my slovenly attitude towards blogging recently can not entirely be attributed to my parental reprieve in Florida. Apparently warm weather in general, is an incredible deterrent to sitting in front of my computer screen and writing some interesting and witty post for my devoted readers. I’m not kidding!

Hurray! Finished The Hunger Games Trilogy, so now I can blog earlier, take a walk, head to the pool, golf, and move unto my coursework reading “Stumbling On Happiness” without thoughts of Gale, Prim, Peeta, and Katniss competing for space in my brain. So the days of my southern escape are winding down, and soon I will back [...]

There’s something about The Villages

March 17, 2012 | 8 Comments

First thing this morning I sent out a Tweet: “OK #sunnyFlorida you sucked me in yesterday but now it’s time to get my blog on!” Sucked me in is an understatement, and the Florida lifestyle wasn’t the only thing to blame for my leisurely attitude yesterday. I have a new obsession (Yes Mom, I said obsession), and [...]

A little message from the Universe

March 15, 2012 | 4 Comments

As my dad would say, this post “is a day late and a dollar short.” But due to some unexpected events yesterday, I decided to take the day off from blogging. As evidenced in some not so subtle ways, I felt the universe was trying to send me a message to slow down, and apparently  I wasn’t listening. It reminded me [...]
