Halloween, my queen

My most favorite holiday hands down is today. Freaking LOVE this holiday so much, in fact, I mentioned it in my wedding vows. True story. I decorate as early as first week of September and I don't care who judges that. I know I sound like a lunatic and it's fine.

I guess it's my favorite holiday because I have awesome Halloween memories as long as I can remember. I've always had super fun costumes since this holiday speaks to my creative spirit. Could be my fave holiday because I enjoy spooky/scary movies and stories year round anyways. Lastly, of course, the snacks ain't half bad. #AlmondJoyFTW

This picture grabs my heart. We are missing our Pepper girl so hard and one of the biggest reasons we are functioning even at all is because of that little gal right there. She is adjusting for sure but she has not let her love us hard nature waiver one bit. We're in this together that's for sure.

Happy Halloween to all and to all a safe, spooky, fun holiday. Enjoy it however you can.

What makes me happy...Blogtober Day 19

What a timely topic to write about, seeing as its Sunday, and I LOVE Sundays! They make me very happy. Lots of things make me happy though. I am so thankful to say that!

This cat: Amazing company to go through life with: Food Trucks: #TBT: Laughing like this: Seeing the world through the eyes of the littlest people: Fashion: Kate Spade in particular: Family, with a highlighted focus on our generation: I feel very fortunate for what and who makes me happy. Tell me, what makes you happiest in all the land? Until we meet again, M

Time Blocking

When I worked in corporate world, I learned the art of time blocking. Actually, in middle and high school this concept was introduced through classes being structured to a similar schedule; we had A and B days and instead of taking 6 classes every day for a shorter duration, we took three each day, alternating which three, for longer periods of time. To surmise, I’ve implemented this approach for well over 20 years now! #YouKnowHowIKnowYoureInYour30s #YouReferenceThingsIn20YearIncrements. Anyhowwww...since I transitioned to work for myself from home, I’ve created a time blocking schedule here as well. It’s typically much more flexible than any other time blocking I’ve been part of, but it’s a good system. When you know what you’re going to do or at least have an idea to begin your day, I find it works well and let’s me start out focused even on days I wake up feeling less than on my game. It’s funny looking back, I never realized in 7th grade block classes, it would begi

Self care reset

We all hear the buzzwords self care more than ever these days. Every where you turn, a lifestyle blogger, health guru, or magazine article shares insight on ways to treat yo self to some basic T. While I love modern discussions as much as the next girl, I’m aware sometimes it just doesn’t fit and you have to reset what isn’t working. For example, some weeks I am just done by the tine Friday hits. Hell, a rough Wednesday or Thursday has crept in there, too, requiring a pause and reflection for how best to naturally beat a funk or a “feeling of less than stellar”. Here my top self care reset ideas for your consideration: Drink water: Warm it with some lemon, try some green tea for an antioxidant boost, or just plain old room temperature is a sure way to get the boost to feeling a bit better. Face it: Fewer things feel as good as a really great face mask. I love charcoal in particular lately and always feel refreshed and restored and ready to ‘face’ another day. See w
