It’s that dreaded time of year where we “fall back” and set our clocks behind an hour for Daylight Savings Time. Technically, this means we should all have one extra hour to do with as we wish! If you are stuck on things you can do to fill that one hour time block, I’ve got 5 suggestions for you….

Regaining Focus Through Writing

Kristen — Wed, 02 Nov 2016 02:31:53 +0000

I’ve had a serious problem with my ability to focus lately. Well, let’s face it, it hasn’t been just lately. I’d say for the past 5 years or so my focus has been off, but it has really been magnified recently.

I have had the hardest time focusing long enough to sit down and check / respond to emails, write blog posts, schedule social media for the blog, be organized with banking, invoicing, and other tasks.

In addition, this week I locked my keys in the car twice, left my purse in the lunchroom at the grade school, forgot to take my daughter to volleyball practice, and left the stove burner on for an hour while I took a meal to a neighbor with cancer. …

Happiness Report #31 – NaBloPoMo Edition

The Happiness Report #31 is also my first post for NaBloPoMo, where I’ll be sharing content each day this month.

Hi friends and happy first day of November (and first day of NaBloPoMo)! It is all of a sudden freezing cold here in Kansas. Yesterday was chillier than we expected… maybe even one of the coldest Halloweens we’ve had. That didn’t stop the kids from heading out and getting way too much candy.

What do you all do with all the candy after Halloween? My kids dentist and his vacation house would probably like it if I let them have a free for all, but I typically let them eat all they want the night of Halloween (which never ends up being as much as I would think) then the day after they each get 20 pieces to keep. I hold onto some of it for currency (like clean your room, you get candy, etc) but other than that, I try to get as much of it out of the house as possible. I LOVE candy… I always have. It is one thing I can’t have around the house, or I am the one eating it all day! The good thing is, my kids will do just about anything for candy, so if I play my cards right my house should be very clean by the end of this week without me having to lift a finger!

I thought today would be a perfect day for a Happiness Report. It’s the start of a new month (hello, November!) and I’m feeling all kinds of peppy this morning. So here we go……
