Seasons of Life...A Bit of Inspiration

Good Saturday afternoon to you! 

It is now just one short week before Christmas! I finally got some Christmas shopping done this week but, I know already that the next seven days will be very busy and filled with baking, cleaning, last minute errands, laundry, packing, family, friends, laughter and the list goes on. 

Through all of the busyness of the holiday season, I know how easy it is to get so caught up in the packed schedule and the spectrum of emotions that come along with being so busy and the demands that I place upon myself this time of year especially.  Last night, as I sat down for a moment to check my email, I opened one sent from my dad that gave me another one of those "put things into perspective" moments.  It is funny how these happen to land in my inbox at the absolute perfect times. (Thanks so much, Dad!  I love you so much!) I liked it so much that I thought I would pass it along to all of you as well.  I hope that you can take a quick moment away from your "To Do" list and perhaps pick up a little bit of inspiration from this video.  I have now watched it several times myself and likely will soak in the inspiration a few more times before Christmas when I am feeling overwhelmed and exhausted or just out of sorts. 

Have a wonderful Saturday!  I am lucky enough to be enjoying beautiful, sunny skies after a snowy week!  For this, I am so very thankful!  :)

Enjoy!

Thankful Thursday - Snow Days

Image
I am 100% convinced that I must have brought the Michigan weather along with me when I moved south, here to Ohio.  I was under the impression that southern Ohio has a much more mild climate and less snow. Well, I have yet to see proof of this. The idea of less snow really excited me! We have had almost as much snow as back in my hometown!   I would love to see warm and sunny weather every single day.  Perhaps, to experience that type of tranquility, I will need to move to a beautiful Caribbean island and sell hot dogs or ice cream on the beach. This is a thought that passes through my mind no less than five times a day in the winter. Like I mentioned before, January and February are the toughest months for me.  It is almost as if old man winter casts a spell of the nasty blahs and sadness on me.  Some days just tend to be worse than others.  I am seriously considering hibernating next winter. It may pose a problem for me considering that I don't like to lie around and sleep.  I

It Happened To Me Again!

I can't believe it happened to me again!  More brown bananas!  I certainly hope this is NOT a sign of things in my life turning bad and rotting.  The funny this is, I do not even eat bananas or things made with bananas very often because they are too sugary.  Yes, they taste good and I enjoy them, they just don't work out with my body being a Type 1. So, today, I decided to bake some banana crumb muffins with my lovely bananas.  As I was making my muffins and brainstorming for this post, I thought I would toss out a "Funny Fact" about me.  Are you ready for this one?  I am sure by now, you have picked up on the fact that I absolutely love baking and it brings me such happiness.  Yes, I know, I am a total cheese ball!  Well, the "Funny Fact" that I am revealing about myself is that I have this pipe dream to one day own my own bakery.  I worked in a bakery for almost two years and loved it!  The drawback was total lack of sleep.  So, rather than a retai

Munchie Mix for Monday

Happy Monday!  I hope that everyone was able to enjoy their weekend before today arrived and a new week is upon us again.  I had great hopes and ideas for starting something like "Motivational Monday" posts to share with you today.  Well, I am very much a planner and do not like when things stray off routine and my day goes a bit differently than originally planned.  This is something that I am trying to be a bit more relaxed about.  Anyway, this morning, I had to head to the local Meijer for some groceries and came home with not only lots of groceries, but also a headache.  Unfortunately, this happens more times than not.  I unloaded the groceries into the kitchen and my headache instantly got worse as I was trying to find places to put them and keep it in an organized and orderly fashion.  I moved into this house just over a month ago and the pantry and cupboards are feeling less than user friendly.  Enough of the explanation of my change of plans.  Here is what I did t
