Makes Me Happy Monday: Planning

January 16, 2012

I am, without a doubt, pretty anal about how my life is organized. Even though my house is generally messy (it’s impossible to keep things perfectly organized with three kids and I’ve stopped fighting that losing battle… for now) there are pieces of my life that are highly organized. I have several planning periods throughout [...]

The Difference Between Decisions and Intentions

January 14, 2012

If you read this blog at all (and bless you, if you do) then you know I’m not wild about resolutions. To put it bluntly, I don’t believe in them. I’ve read (and it’s not confirmed, but somehow it seems accurate) that 92% of New Year’s resolutions fail and nearly 50% fail by the end [...]

You Are What You Eat [Happiness Project Update]

January 13, 2012

We’ve all heard the saying that “you are what you eat.” For 2012, I am resurrecting my Happiness Project and I’ve decided not to change the focus of the months that I laid out last year. So, once again, I’m focusing on my health for January. I took a look at my typical weekly diet [...]

Simple Tip Tuesday: Simplify Something

January 10, 2012

Around the blogging community, I’ve seen a trend in posts in regards to how they’re looking at 2012 called One Word. The premise is simple. Pick one word that describes your approach to the new year. I love the idea because it brings something as complex as 12 months of living and boils it down [...]

Makes Me Happy Monday: Football

January 9, 2012

Anyone who really knows me is aware of the fact that I am a sports nut. From baseball to college basketball, I’m the type of person to have sports on TV 24/7 and I’d rather listen to ESPN radio than music in the car. My kids are incredibly tolerant although I do let them watch [...]

Resolutions? I don’t think so…

January 1, 2012

Once upon a time, I believed in resolutions. I believed in the “New Year’s Magic” of writing down ridiculously lofty goals (without giving them a supporting action plan) and hoping that somehow in the following 12 months I would attain those goals. Bah freaking humbug. No matter how lovely those resolutions sounded, reality got me [...]

Holy Heck It’s October Already

October 1, 2011

I was hunting through my Social Media updates and I saw someone tweet about the fact that it’s October 1. Holy crap it’s October. My due date is quickly approaching and I’m only 25% ready (both mentally and in terms of having material things ready). I guess I should get busy on that, huh? Crib [...]

So when I was scrolling through my Twitter feed this morning, I came across an interesting hashtag that read #30DaysofGOOD. I also noticed the word “challenge” which immediately caught my attention. GOOD is an organization I’ve been following [...]

Oh Yeah, I’ve Been Doing a Happiness Project…

August 18, 2011

I pulled out my Happiness Notebook the other day and realized I’ve made no entries in it since February. Um, whoops? Even though I haven’t been chronicling it like I wanted to, it has been on my mind a lot. If I ever needed a Happiness Project, it’s this year, right? So I sat down [...]
