My new homes best feature...


So I'm still settling in, trying to adapt to this Orlando lifestyle. So far I likes it but what I LUV even more is my pantry. My pantry is mom sized! I can actually step in, close the door behind me and hide from the lil ones. So I have stashed my goodies (twinkies and all) on the fourth self on the right. Now when it's time to take a break and have some comfort I step into my pantry. It's the lil things!

Dishwasher guilt....


Yes, you read correctly, dishwasher guilt.  For many years I put off using my dishwasher.  There was a tremendous guilt about wasting water.  I was committed to staying "green".  As I start my new year one of my goals is to -get over it!  If I can take advantage of this mom shortcut, then why the heck not.  But I did need some backup research to support my decision and help me sleep at night, hence I came across this wonderful article in Treehugger.com called Handwashing vs. Dishwashing: The Winner. Great read that gives you better insight into this debate.

So go ahead ahead moms, turn on your dishwashers (wait until it full though) and go do your nails!

Stay Chic!

Starting the year off right


I'm a big fan Of Carla White's Gratitude App. Practicing gratitude on a daily basis has the potential to change your life in a positive way. Now Carla has come up with the Vision Board app, which I truly heart!

Some of its amazing features are:
*Create journal entries listing what you're thankful for.
*Search your journal entries.
*Bulleted lists make reading entries easy.
*Rate your day to see which are your best.
*Email an entry to a friend or yourself.
*Pick from six different theme designs.
*Passcode protected for your privacy.
*Month index for easy navigation.
*Add a photo to your entry. Chose something that inspires you.
*Inspirational quotes when you create a new journal entry.
*Flip through days to reflect on how cool life is.

Carla is truly inspiring and helping transform the lives of many iPhone users.

I'm was always skeptical about vision boards. After having one for a little over two years, I'm a firm believer that they work.

Good luck people, and never let go of your dreams.

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. It came and went too fast. Right before the holidays I did my last move. I am now a proud resident of Orlando, Florida. It's gonna take this New York girl a while to get use to but the weather is definitely worth it, and how about those palm trees decorated with Christmas lights, if that's not culture shock then not sure what is.

I'm hoping this year to write more about my new adventures in Mickey's land.

Much love and prosperity to all!
