Grab a Pen: Journaling Prompts for Everyone
[disclosure] Happy Day before Halloween! Over the past month, I have touched on several topics in journaling. There are so many different types of journals and specific niches that we could discuss! It’s a rapidly growing area, and I will revisit the topic pretty regularly moving forward – for good reason! I am so into this topic that I plan to design a few journals myself! I will keep you up to date on my progress. On to today’s topic… The habit of writing in a journal every day or a few times each week can be fun and helps you manage emotions and stress.

Breaking Bad Habits

Anything I say that doesn’t give him everything he wants is grumpy and mean. Of course, it is. I look forward to the time when he’ll be too embarrassed to say that I was right… It will happen!

Who are the Most Important People in Your Life?
[disclosure] Happy Friday! Tomorrow is our 17th wedding anniversary! We got married in Atlanta — don’t we look young and fresh before children? LOL– Just kidding, children! Thomas and I are doing some low-key celebrating Saturday afternoon and evening. I have been pretty busy so I haven’t spent a lot of time planning anything so my husband came up with some cool things in Houston to visit. We haven’t seen a lot of Houston so it should be fun. Thinking about our 17 years together made me think about relationships — this is definitely the longest one I have ever been in other than with family. There are so many…

Fall Breakfast Ideas
[disclosure] Happy Fall! It’s the first Tuesday of Fall. I’m so glad that the weather down here is cooling down a bit. While it’s not cool enough for many leaves to change yet, it doesn’t feel like we are roasting. I’ll take anything! The past few posts (new fall routine and fall weight loss) have been fall-focused, and this one is as well. Fall makes me happy! There are different foods in season during the fall like sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and apples – the list goes on! As a matter of fact, you can also incorporate these superfoods into your morning breakfast routine for variety or a different flavor profile…
