Why You Shouldn’t Make New Year’s Resolutions
Year after year, we find ourselves persuaded into making New Year’s Resolutions. That January 1st means a clean slate; new year, new you. Year after year, we forget about them by the end of January, if not sooner. We’ve been doing it wrong! In my opinion, resolutions are too general, and not easily measurable. In 2019, I am making GOALS! Smart goals are well thought out, easily measurable, and have a specific end result. By making goals instead of resolutions, you’ll be able to set a clear path to success, and be able to track your progress throughout the year. I’d now like to share a few of my goals…

Let’s Chat!
(Source) Hi everyone! Today’s post is going to be a bit of a different one. I just wanted to write a bit of a chatty one today, and maybe get the chance to know you guys a bit better as well. First off, how was your Mother’s Day weekend? Did you have a nice weekend with your kids? Or did you travel to go see your mom? Or if you still live at home, maybe you and your mom had an extra special day/weekend? Mother’s Day weekend looks a bit different to me than perhaps most. Every year it is kind of like my designated ‘kid-free weekend’. My mom takes…

The Best of Me
Every time another Nicholas Sparks book becomes a movie and hits theatres, I always get excited. I cannot wait to go see The Longest Ride. I had just finished my last City of Bones book, which I mentioned in my Bedtime Tag post, and was looking for another book when I noticed The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks sitting there on my bookshelf unread and unloved. [This was also made into a movie last year, which I haven’t seen yet.] (Source) So with Nicholas Sparks on my mind and the anticipation of seeing The Longest Ride, it seemed the natural choice, also I want to read all the books…
