Honest Tea....better than a fortune cookie!

So once a week our family goes out to our favorite Pizza Place.  And once a week I look forward to getting my inspiration from a bottle of Honest Tea.  Honest tea is more fun and inspirational than a fortune cookie, honest!!   You see, on every lid there are words of wisdom.  Tonight my lid read, "Vision without action is a daydream; action without vision is a nightmare." - Japanese Proverb.

Wow! 

leaps of faith

I am up way too late again, but thought I would quick post a wonderful quote a friend sent me.

Now while this quote doesn't apply to everything in my life (like my marriage or riding a bike)

It's just wonderful to take leaps of faith and risks in our lives to keep them fun and exciting!

Making your child feel special

So I have been working my full time sales job all day and prepping for the launch of my new book all night. Sometimes, I find it very hard to slow down and relax. I really try hard to ignore all work from the time I get home until the time the kids go to sleep so I can give undivided attention to the kids, but it doesn't always happen. This article on babycenter came across my e-mail the other day. It reminded me of how important it is to make my kids feel special in this busy world we all live in!!!

It's Divalicious!

 

So I am thrilled that my blog has a new look!!  Thank you to the amazing job of Candy at Divalicious Designs.  If the name of her business doesn't draw you in, take a look at her awesome website http://divalicous-designs.blogspot.com and extremely unique, modern & fun templates.  I e-mailed Candy last night about updating my blog and she had it up by this afternoon.  She is speedy, professional and a gorgeous work at home Mom of two little girls.  If you think you can't afford a professional looking website for your blog, you are wrong!  Contact Ms. Divalicious for a new update & blog makeover!

Now, I will say- I edited my blog Title artwork a smidge tonight.  (I hope you don't mind Candy).  There was cute kitty cat sitting on the top of the sofa, which I loved, but my husband said it was bad luck because we don't have a cat.  Being superstitious as I am, I erased the poor cute kitty in paint and added artwork from my illustrator, Pat Achilles, of my doggy George (a character in the book as well).  George is in heaven so I thought having him on my title banner may be lucky!

I hope you all like my new blog!!
