Hi Everyone Well, Wouldn't you just know that things got a little "crazy" right as I was writing that last blog post! I was actually finishing up because I had lost my train of thought, so I figured it would just be something i'd figure out and write about later ... however.... David CALLED me right as I was finishing up to tell me that my dad had QUIT, so I had to quickly call my mom to let her know. I mean he could have retired 3 years ago but he's just been out there because he actually wanted to be , and they had even let him go to a 4 day work week. anyways, things last week were really crazy and he got super annoyed and .. well that's where we were about 1:30 on last Thursday afternoon. Long story short, he did end up going back to work on Monday but.. that was after a good 4ish day break LOL. I don't think he would ever be able to actually retire, because he would go stir crazy ESPECIALLY this time of the year. Maybe if he hadn't been annoyed/it had been on his own terms … [Read more...]
6 Methods Of Putting Your Mind At Ease In 2023
https://unsplash.com/photos/occotEKDsfc With the New Year finally here, we receive a sense of freshness as we begin a new journey. The previous year has gone and we are only left with memories. We have so much to look forward to and so much to achieve over the next 12 months. With so much ahead of us, some of us might feel a little overwhelmed. Even though things are to be enjoyed, there is still an element of stress around. The balance of life ensures that with great times come a few tedious moments. The good thing is that we can do so many things in order to keep ourselves relaxed. If we don’t want to be stressed throughout the next 12 months, we don’t have to be. It’s a case of getting into the right habits and thinking about life in a new way. If you continue doing the same things as before, you will likely live the exact same life as before, too. If you want this year to be full of positivity and you want to keep your mind at ease throughout, here are just a … [Read more...]
Happy 2023!
Hey Everyone So, I as usual DID NOT intend to not blog for as long as I have! Can I blame it on this crappy time of the year? (I'm talking the time change and the weather, ya'll feel me?)That is really all I can blame it on other than maybe no mojo? eh, anyways..... The Holiday's came and went, and I have to say i'm glad of it in a lot of ways, but I was actually super sad to have to take the tree and all that jazz down. We did leave up my fairy lights in the living room window, because they are white lights and I just couldn't bare to loose that little bit of glow! I just think January is such a depressing month :( So to say I am looking forward to warm weather, sunshine and the TIME CHANGE is a understatement for sure! Today is a special day in the respect that we have had Luna for 6 months today! I don't even know if I have even wrote about her here or not? I actually had to go type in "luna" to see if anything with her showed up- Anyways, just a refresh we … [Read more...]
Avoid Ending Up At The Side Of The Road With Your Kids
If you have kids, then the last thing that you want to happen when you’re out is to end up at the side of the road. This can happen but it’s also avoidable if you take the right steps. So, let’s explore some of the key options here that you need to think about. Pexels Source CCO License Maintain It Correctly First, you need to make sure that you are maintaining the car correctly. People often think that maintenance doesn’t change depending on the car that you drive. However, this is not the case. In reality, mainteance requirements can depend on the specific car that you own. For instance, you might need to consider whether your car has a timing belt or a timing chain. The main difference here is that the former needs to be replaced eventually on a set schedule and the latter will last a lifetime. In terms of how to find out information like this, it’s best to explore your owner’s manual. You can find docs such as the Ford Maverick owners … [Read more...]
Fur baby jammies :)
Hey Everyone I thought I would check in while I had the urge :) don't worry, I do start posts here A LOT actually.. they just kind of mingle around and don't get posted. I also tend to make lots of audio recordings of random things on anchor.fm (also, get deleted /not posted!) It kind of clears stuff out of my head, but it doesn't make for good blogging /a record of things lol. Though, I do have a few of the audio things saved so.. it kind of works in a way! Yesterday I was in a SUPER amazing mood, but I don't know WHY but it was great. I got up shortly after David left, and I didn't ever nap either! I ended up getting my one and only holiday gift item to review at my moms so David had to stop by and pick it up for me on his way home. Then, we ended up taking a quick trip to walmart and even to goodwill. I had been wanting to get Luna a pair of buffalo plaid pj's since FOREVER so she can match the rest of us (Sans sam right ha ha) but I hadn't had any luck with finding her … [Read more...]
Buying Jewelry For A Friend? Here Are 3 Mistakes To Avoid
Pexels - CC0 License Purchasing a gift for a friend can be both a lovely effort and a worrying one, because while you enjoy the process of finding a nice item they can enjoy, it’s important to find something suitable. For example, if you purchase a gift for your boss, it’s important to consider how long you’ve known them, how close you might be friendship-wise, and also the appropriateness of a gift to a professional contact. But it’s true that we need to consider suitability when purchasing for a close friend, too. After all, it might be that an expensive gift we purchase them will be unused, but because of our close friendship they may feel obligated to use it. Many people have been in this position, returning gifts given to them for store credit, or simply only displaying it in the house when they come to visit. So, if you hope to purchase quite a statement piece, such as a piece of jewelry, it’s important to consider what not to do … [Read more...]
