Be Happy Now!

Sometimes I’m a tardy poster. Sometimes I procrastinate. Sometimes I burn dinner. And usually, I bite off more than I can chew and end up underneath a pile of overwhelmed stew. Oh well, such is the life of a writer and a mom, and that is just how I roll. So this year, I am implementing a list called 12 Ways To Make It A Great Year. Why is it 12 ways and not 10? I have no idea. Sometimes things just work that way. So here goes:

12. Answer emails when I get them.

11. Post every second day, aim for everyday, but don’t get down on myself if 3 days go by before there is a post. It happens.

10. Write everyday, even if I’m feeling uninspired.

9. Sleep more.

8. Worry less.

7. Don’t feel guilty about relaxing. I deserve it!

6. Be kind to myself in all ways.

5. Laugh even more than I already do and cry if I need to. Crying’s not always a bad thing, especially if you laugh a lot.

4. Celebrate myself more than once in a while and embrace even my flaws; they make me who I am, and that is a very good thing.

3. Spend more time with my family.

2. Spend more time with my Youngling and savor each and every moment because little ones grow up so fast and go off to college before you know it.

1. Be happy NOW! Why waste time being sad when there can be bliss everyday, even if it is in the tiniest of moments.

What will you do to make it a great year? Comment and let me know!

And now, on to my tardy post!

Happy Earth Day!

Today is the Youngling’s 1/2 Birthday! Let’s all wish her a Happy 1/2 Birthday!

The mega blockbuster Avatar comes out today on DVD! Oh triple joy!

I Recommend It!

This week it’s a double whammy! The Youngling recommends How To Train Your Dragon the movie and the books! She really liked them both. The movie was really engaging, funny and heartwarming. It really captured my Youngling’s imagination. Ever since she saw the movie, she can’t stop drawing, painting and pretending to be a “baby” dragon. Her favorite dragon was of course Toothless, the Night Fury.

The I Can Read series of books from Harper are great for kids. My Youngling was very eager to get the book after seeing the movie.

She gives both the big thumbs up!

I Want To Be A Surgeon When I Grow Up!

Well, if she does, she can. All the great TV show series will be sure to be on DVD, Blu-ray or whatever other fancy optical disc format is being used 20 years from now.
