Conscious Coupling
‘Conscious uncoupling” has been all over the news for months now. But before you can UN something, you must DO something. So I am quite curious as to what ‘Conscious Coupling” is, are you? But first – What is Conscious Uncoupling? Dr. Habib Sadeghi & Dr. Sherry Sami on Conscious Uncoupling: “A conscious uncoupling is the ability to understand that every irritation and argument was a signal to look inside ourselves and...

Would you be even more intrigued if I told you it would cost you nothing? Here’s the secret… Take a Trip to Your Closet!! Yup, that’s right.

Being a stay at home parent is hard. Dressing/feeding/entertaining/cleaning someone else becomes our main focus. It is sooo easy to lose yourself in this process. So here I am to remind you that YOU COUNT TOO! A great way to show the world (and more importantly yourself!) that you are still in there is with your style.

Brilliant Wine
Recently I posted a study on my Facebook page in regards to wine being better for us than going to the gym! While this is amazing news, I think we should take a deeper look into what wine does! The Latin Times reports: “Jason Dyck and other science researchers in the University of Alberta in Canada found that red wine, nuts and grapes have a complex called resveratrol which improves heart, muscle and bone functions; the same way...
#HappinessToday Day 7 of Happiness
Wow, did this week go by fast! For 7 days now I have been starting off my day thinking/writing about what gave me happiness the day before, What Makes You Happy. Day 1 and Day 2 were easy, Day 3 a challenge, Day 4 a surprise, Day 5 was simple and Day 6 was a routine day. But Day 7? Day 7, today, I have reviewed the last 6 days. I also did the challenge I posted yesterday, did you? I sat down for 1 full hour and wrote everything that...
#HappinessToday Day 6 of Happiness
It has been 6 days of really thinking about What Makes You Happy. Day 1 and Day 2 were a synch, Day 3 was rough, Day 4 a surprise, Day 5 a nice day and Day 6? Day 6 was Monday Funday! Routine as normal. Everything went off without a hitch. It was insanely hot for this time of year. Today my pool and our air conditioning made me very happy! I am thankful that someone invented these things to keep us cool! While sitting in the cool air,...
#HappinessToday Day 5 of Happiness
What Makes You Happy? I have been reflecting and writing each morning on this topic. Day 1 was a breeze, Day 2 was fun, Day 3 was a challenge, and Day 4 was a little surprise. Day 5, yesterday, was Sunday. We did something together as a family for the first time that I thought was simple yet really fun. We went for a family bike ride! First time since living in CA that ALL of our bike tires were full and both of my children came and...
#HappinessToday Day 4 of Happiness
Today is Day 4 of my exploration into What Makes You Happy? Day 1 was easy, Day 2 was fun, Day 3 a challenge and Day 4? Day 4 was Saturday! Hard to not be happy when the whole family is around and able to go to the beach together. In Malibu. But something unexpected did happen. A new friend of mine stopped by early and had left a belated birthday gift for me. The gift was amazing. But it was the thought that this new friend of mine...
#HappinessToday Day 3 of Happiness
3 days ago I wrote What Makes You Happy? And challenged myself to write each morning what it was that had given me some happiness the day before. Day 1 was fun! Day 2 was easy!

There are very stubborn people...
#HappinessToday Day 2 of happiness
It is the second day of my What Makes You Happy? 7 day #HappinessToday project. What made me happiest yesterday was a little surprise. As I was finishing the dishes, my daughter ran in to the kitchen and grabbed my hand, pulling me outside. At first I was resistant, I wanted to get the dishes finished. But my daughter is nothing if not persistent, and she won, as usual! So I walk outside in a grouchy mood expecting some form of a mess...
