This has been weighing heavy on my heart as of late. If my kids only learn one thing from me, I hope it's kindness. (Because it sure isn't gonna be athleticism or music.) I think this world could be a much better place if people were kind to one another. And not just random acts of kindness, but meaningful, intentional and genuine acts of kindness. I work in customer service and I know, I know, how difficult it is to be kind when someone is yelling at you. Or cussing your out. Or telling you ... Read More
The B Word
I don't even like to say it. It's like a bad word. Budget. Ew. I just want to win the Lotto and walk around town throwing $500 Visa Gifts at random strangers; spreading happiness and helping the economy. Unfortunately, I don't play the lottery, so the chances of this happening are slim to none. So, with a new year ahead of us, it's probably time to sit down and re-evaluate our budget.

When I look back at photos of myself, the ones I'm most happy with are from when I was doing a combination of Hot Yoga and running. I remember loving my skin when I was in and out of the yoga studio...sweating that much gives you that radiant, pregnant glow without the long, sleepless nights. (And the baby.) Get More ...

When I’m Bored…
I do things like open an Etsy Store. There's not a whole lot on there right now. Just a couple of cards I created and threw up. I'm not sure how much effort I'll be putting into this store (you also know I like to start blogs too, right?) but for now I figured it doesn't hurt to sell cards and invitations I've already created. It also wouldn't hurt to start cleaning and organizing my junk drawers at home, but that doesn't sound as fun So. What should I do next? ... Read More
