Day 11: Celebrating 3 Years

Tuesday marked exactly three years since Josh and I started dating. And, now, in 86 days he'll be my husband. I got him just a little happy to mark the occasion. I didn't see him for like 4 hours. LOL Continue

Day 10: In Memory of Mrs. Linda Dean Bounds

DAY 10 I've been thinking a lot about my aunt with my wedding getting so close. I just can't believe she won't be there to share in the moment. I made a $25 donation in her memory to Susan G. Komen For The Cure. Continue

Day 9: A Treat For My Buddy

On this beautiful sunny day in Mississippi, Josh and I decided to go out to the reservoir and spend a few hours soaking up some of that sun. As we were walking out the door, we decided to give our dog Buddy a treat; we brought him with us. He freakin' loved it. Sometimes Josh and I get so busy with what we've got going on, we forget to show Buddy all the attention he deserves, It was nice to give him this outing to see some new sights. As you can see, his tongue was flopping all over the place… Continue

Day 8: A "Congrats on Getting Pregnant Gift"

So, one of my bridesmaids will be about 5 months pregnant with twins when she precedes me down the aisle on August 23!! They've been trying for about a year now, and we are so excited for them (her husband is a groomsmen too). I wanted to give her a little something to say Congrats so I bought some plain baby bibs and added my own little touch to them. Just in case, you are a little slower on the weekend as I often am, Jack and Genesis are their dog and cat.

Days 3, 4 and 5

Day 3: A Gift of My Time So, this weekend, me and my fiancee took my future nieces to the zoo. Sometimes it's so hard to give up time that I plan to use for myself, but once we picked up the girls, it was the easiest gift I could give. We had a blast. Day 4 & 5: A Christmas present 5 months late and a graduation gift. My cousin graduated from high school last night. Wait, how old am I again?? Anyway, my Christ… Continue

Day 1: Giving Thanks

I've always been a thank you note kind of girl. Now, I don't just mean sending a thanks for gifts I've received. Anytime someone does something nice to help me out, or goes out of their way, I feel it's the least I can do. I may have spoken a few "thank yous," but a note after the fact really makes a huge impact. This week I wrapped up a HUGE project I've been working on the last few weeks:… Continue

Today is a great day for giving! Through KIVA I just gave a loan to a woman in Peru. She will invest this money in her fish selling business and hopefully, slowly but surely, better her situation. I am convinced these micro-loans are very empoweri...

Day 13 I made and sent a card to a woman in my hallway at work who has been out sick for about a month now and will be out until January. I remember when I was out for my hysterectomy...I felt like no one noticed I was gone for 6 weeks. So, I want...

A windy, very very windy day today which also happens to be trash day. As I looked out through the window I noticed neighbors trash cans in many places. I bundled up and put back as many of the can as I could for them. Felt very good..... As I kno...

Grief & loss, though a part of life, are so hard. The precious thing is, you already have belief that this is a happy day for her & acknowledged that she has found peace. Give yourself the gift of accepting the outpourings of sympathy, love & supp...
