It all started with dish towels. Yep, I admit it. I use Halloween and Christmas towels in June. If they are clean, they work just fine for me. My mom cracks me up. For the last few weeks, she has been commenting about these damn towels. "Next time you are at Target, pick up a couple new towels." "I brought this towel upstairs. It looks better than the ones in your kitchen." Yep, the towels I wash Read the full post >>>
A mess of affirmations.
Overall, I think that I am a pretty positive person. I usually see the glass half full as opposed to half empty. However, some days I feel like screaming.

Simple pleasures. One simple list.
Through the years, I have realized that being healthy is so much more than just the food we eat. Everything is connected. As a busy mama, life can be so chaotic.

Sun, sun… please come back!
As I write this, it is a rainy/snowy/dark/somewhat depressing winter day here in Southwestern Pennsylvania. However, the other day we were teased with a 70 degree beautiful sunny day. That day, I was driving around with the sun roof open, had a smile on my face, got a lot done and felt awesome. So sad that weather was so short lived.
