Are you looking for more out of life? I listen to Our Daily Bread and other inspirational media on occasion…this topic was recently addressed. There is no special potion you can concoct to make this happen. But these tips might help you through today, tomorrow, and the next day! Give more attention to the things that are sources of love and satisfaction versus those things that drain you. Wherever our energy goes is where our experiences…
At my students’ recent performance, one of the parents asked, “What are you doing to your skin? It seems you look younger and younger every day.” Hmmm. I was wondering, just how young do I look!? I do try my best to take it as a compliment when I’m told that I look very young. However as a 31-year-old, being mistaken at times for a high school student is not very fun. But her statement…
I have a thing about new nail polish! I just love it! Can’t figure out why because just a few years ago, I wouldn’t have considered painting my finger nails because I felt it was a waste of my time to do this on a weekly basis. After one visit to a free nail polish event at the Chanel counter, I was hooked! I know I’m not the only one with 50-11 bottles of nail…
That’s in all caps as if it’s a holiday I get all into. When holidays lack fellowship with family and food or at least a day off from work, I’m rarely invested! But I do think celebrating LOVE is always in season!! That being said, besides hugs, kisses, and affirmations of your love for one another, here are great gifts you can get the special lady or man in your life. Men’s tees supporting the…

Yes, with just 8 years under my belt, I’m considered a veteran to many colleagues. According to a 2011 Forbes education article written by Erik Kain, “46% of new teachers leave the profession within five years.” So yeah, I’m a veteran! Back to my public service announcement to parents. This is about homework: Please enforce the completion of homework on a daily basis at home. Teachers are aware of the difficulty some face when working…
Organizing has been my goal for the month of December. My main interest was my 2nd bedroom which functions as a “wardrobe”…every girl needs one! While visiting my dad’s house, I found an old shelving unit being unused. I didn’t know how it could be used but knew it could be used! I got to thinking about my scarves which hung from hangers versus being more organized in a manner which allows me to see…
I’m adding this to “healthy eating” but I know most will turn their nose up, thinking, “that ain’t healthy food”. However, it’s all about portion control to me. I come prepared to eat a little and then put the same amount in my Tupperware containers. Yes. I travel with containers. Plus I continue to workout even through the holiday season… Fooooooodddd!! My family loves to eat and they’re good cooks!! We started the holiday with…
Attention crafty folks with kids to entertain this holiday break…grab a clean tube sock outta grandpa’s dresser and make this with the kiddos! A cup of rice holds the snowman steady and add pillow stuffing to fill the rest of the sock. Then simply decorate it with pipe cleaners, googly eyes, and whatever else your child desires! Consider using a heavy duty/industrial use hot glue gun if this is something you want to set out…
