Best babysitter ever!

The best babysitter for my very moody two-year old is not a human being. It is not the TV, nor any of his toys. The best babysitter ever is something I cannot go out and buy for a few bucks at the store.

My son has been going through his terrible two’s lately and he has been a little tougher to deal with. His attention span is at a negative on most days, and he is really starting to show his independence. Continue reading

What I eat for lunch, every day.

I have never been one for supplement shakes, protein bars, or any kind of nutritional meal replacement, but since about June of 2011 I have changed my tune a little bit.

I don’t do a lot of meal replacements but I have found that if I do one for lunch it does help me eat less and have more energy during my normal “down time.”

There are two shakes that I go back and forth between and I will compare the pros and cons for each and how and why I take them.

They are Beachbody’s Shakeologyand Healthy Herbal Nutrients Quicky Shakes. There are reasons for both, I have found and I will share them with you now. Continue reading

Is there ever a “right” time?

Putting my law of attraction faith to test again! What I mean is that I am not scared to “put it out there” and let the universe take it’s course.

If you have been following my blog for long you will know that this has been a very long learning curve for me, and I still struggle with “letting go” and not stressing out and let faith and positive law rule my world. But I am getting better.

Here is the break down.We have needed a new car for a long time and we have been waiting for the “right” time or the time it makes the most sense. The funny thing is that over the past 3 years, there has never been a so called right time, so was starting to believe that there was never going to be…hello…negative nanny!

What I have learned in this process is that it makes the most sense, and is the right time, when you NEED it to be!

We have been saving since tax returns for a trip to Florida. We wanted to surprise our 6-year old with a trip to Disney World. Not an oh so comfortable trip in our tiny Mazda Protege.

Don’t leave the dog food open!

My 6-year old daughter has the job of feeding the dog. She does not have a lot of jobs around the house yet but she does have to feed the animals twice a day. It is actually a job she enjoys…mostly.

We keep the dog food int he garage and she has to scoop the food into the dogs bowl, in the garage, and then feed the dog in the back.

This may seem like a drama free task, but today it was not so drama free… Continue reading

Spending it to get it…Money!

MS Word Clipart

You got to spend it to get it…that is what all the self-help books and audio tell me and this is the ONE rule I have the hardest time with!

There have been times in the past couple years where I have learned this to be true but it is my biggest downfall when I need to practice this law of attraction rule and one that I WILL conquer.

So my latest over the past couple weeks…I guess you could say my “test.” Continue reading

The easiest Anniversary so far…

MS Word Clipart

Two weeks before our anniversary I would start to get, moody, emotional, and down right depressed. Every day would get worse and every day I would fall deeper and deeper into a depression.

This year I only fell into this “bad place” for about 2-3 days. This is huge for me. It has been 4 years, so am I getting better…maybe…it seems that way?

Why do I get so emotional on our wedding anniversary? Well that is easy… Continue reading

Wouldn’t this mean “World Peace?!”

I have no idea where this image originated from, it is not mine, but had to share it when I saw it on Facebook. If anyone knows it’s owner please let me know so I may give credit. It was too good not to share.

So really…wouldn’t this be “world Peace?” Seriously. Continue reading
