I am not a New Years Resolution person. I just think you should be able to make a change anytime; you shouldn’t need a NEW YEAR to start something you really want. But at the same time, I understand it. New Year, new start, new you!!

This year I decided to test myself. I wouldn’t make a resolution but I would make a change. That change was to end any unnecessary drama in my life. If something was stressing me out, the plan was, to get rid of it.  What surprised me was what was causing the stress.  It was Facebook.!! How did I figure this out? Well, I started by evaluating how I felt after seeing certain Facebook posts.

Most posts, I want to say 80% to 85%, were fine. People would post about their kids, their new jobs, exciting things at home, good things that were happening to ...

I’m not good with surprises. Wait, let me rephrase that. I’m not good with KEEPING a surprise. I love to surprise people and I LOVE to BE surprised.  My hubby, Big B, he is the surprise master. I never know what he might do for me for my birthday, our anniversary or even Christmas. I may give him my Christmas wish list but he always gets me something I’m totally surprised by!!

I check it twice. I do my research and find whatever it is they want at the best price. That part is what I really like, the challenge of finding it at a great price. But once the gift is ...

I did what I wanted, said what I wanted, I thought I knew everything and would always be open minded and never let the “man” get me down. 

Well, now I’m a parent. The most difficult job on the planet with the most incredible rewards!! I love being a mom. But what I don’t always “love” is that I have to totally practice what I preach!! I have to always be aware that I’m the example. I’m the one that needs to show my kids, to the best of my abilities, that it’s important to be true to who you are. Stick to your word. Stand behind your morals. Maybe that’s why I’m upset about this Kim Kardashian’s 72 day marriage. ...
