It is now much more recognised how great mindfulness is for us on a daily basis, and the positive impact it can have on your mental health. Here are some fun ways to get your mindfulness in.    Photo by Lesly Juarez on Unsplash Colouring There was a time when you were younger that you probably coloured in for fun. It didn’t matter when or why, but you just did. Colouring is something that is really relaxing and lets your creative spirit fly free for a while.

Hey Everyone! Well... I had planned to write this week. REALLY I did!  The time change has me totally threw off though.. that and I've had a few other things going on! I know that my mom and I went out and about Wed, but we actually had a fight early that morning ...and then some other things have been going on- which kind of relates to my blog title- which is actually the name of an episode of little house- anyways, I can't do anything about that situation though and it is driving me crazy...  I can't get into the details though! I just know my mom has been in a super weird mood lately and she just went a little too far and I was like OK if you want to be like that, then go out and about by yourself to coupon and what not and i'll just stay right home!  Sometimes, she forgets I don't live at home anymore and I do try to live my own life and such and I just really wasn't feeling her attitude towards me that day AT ALL. See right after the wreck my mom was in a super crazy nice … [Read more...]
