Are Women Better Parents Than Men?

Posted on Sep 17, 2014

Parenting is super challenging no matter what sex you are. As wonderful and amazing as it can be, it is also frustratingly difficult – and all the more so if you go it alone. Both mom and dad bring a lot to the party, each with their own value and each equally important. There are many different kinds of families out there. The most successful families are where the children feel secure from the parents both feeling loved AND...

#HappinessToday Day 7 of Happiness

Posted on Sep 17, 2014

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...

Hallway Décor from Joss and Main

Posted on Sep 17, 2014

The beginning of each season always makes me feel like changing a few things in each room! I am LOVING these for a hallway from Joss and Main right now. Peacocks are among my favorite things to decorate with and these are on sale right now, marked way down! PEACOCK CANVAS PRINT (SET OF 2) And how nice would this mirror look across from them? This mirror is super chic. Would be great in a ½ bath too! GERALDINE WALL MIRROR If you had a...

#HappinessToday Day 6 of Happiness

Posted on Sep 16, 2014

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

Posted on Sep 15, 2014

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

Posted on Sep 14, 2014

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 2 of happiness

Posted on Sep 12, 2014

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...
