You know it just occurred to me that we have everything – apps for everything that is! There’s an app for weight loss, one for eating vegan, paleo, one for learning languages and everything in between. But, I realize, the world seems to be suffering (at least many people anyway) in misery and there is no happy app. Everyday….. make a commitment to seek your bliss because no one else can give it to you, find it for you, or buy it!  Today, I challenge you to take 5 minutes and write down 3 things that bring you joy then ask yourself how frequently you engage in that activity. I love hiking and when I made my own list of 3 things I realized that my top “blissmaker” (is that a word – I think I just made it up) was something that I did the least. So, I’ve changed my priorities. Keeping me happy keeps my family running smooth. Take time for yourself and make your own “happy app” by writing your list then following your bliss! Hugs!

 

A Great Car Experience 2015 KIA Optima SX!  Recently I had to take my son to Frostburg, MD, as he is a transfer student finishing his bachelors degree. It was a pretty good ride to get to the school (3.5 hrs) and I was fortunate enough to be able to go in a new 2015 KIA Optima SX.  Well let me just say – I LOVE this car!  [Read more…]

I grew up with 5 other siblings and my mom always yelling for us to get out of the kitchen. My mom was a stay at home mom that made 3 meals a day and I’m sure that after the 4th child having kids in the kitchen didn’t coincide with getting hot meals on the table! Lol! I can only image!!! Well after 3 boys I finally had a girl and we spend most days in the kitchen together making baking and cooking. I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Yes, I spend more time cleaning up my kitchen. Yes, I spend a little more on flour and sugar because some is generally spilled on the ground. Yes, she’s going to remember these times and when she leaves home she’ll already know how to cook! #KidsintheKitchen!
