New Year's Resolutions
Happy New Year 2017

It is that time a year where everyone starts the "new year, new me" type of stuff! Well, next year I do not plan on changing myself as a person, but I do want to make some lifestyle changes, get into bigger and better things that I am already in and am working on. I plan on getting healthier, and just doing more than I am already doing, or at least try to! Here are my new year's resolutions for the year 2017.

1. Losing the baby weight

As much as I loved having my little girl, I do not like having the weight! Baby weight can be a pain for any mom. A lot of moms struggle to lose all of that baby weight or even feel like they can! Many wish to lose anywhere from 30-50 pounds, so that is the goal this year!

2. A healthier meal plan

Along with losing weight, eating healthier is on this list as well! This year meal planning and getting healthy is key to a better, happier you! No more junk food, no more sodas and candy...as much as one loves these things, this is the year to cut back, and cut out some nasty eating habits!

3. Saving money

This year is the year to save more! This formula can is our change jar. We plan to fill it up, cash it, and save however much money we get, and then do it ALL over again! Change is something we all rarely think about until you start saving it and seeing just how much money we get from little pieces of change!

4. Taking more pictures

In the upcoming year, I vow to take more pictures of life and everyday beauty. Taking more pictures of family, life and happy moments. I also vow to print more pictures, having photos in a photo album; it just seems more meaningful.

5. Go on family outings

Who does not love going places? With our families at that? This year will be the year that we go to the zoo, science center, magic house, butterfly house, and many more places! I plan to do these things this year -- I hope you spend more time with your family as well!

6. Overcoming at least one fear

We all have things that scare us, whether it be bugs, clowns, heights, or even silly simple things like the dark. This year, one of these fears will be tackled and conquered -- 100 percent. Normally, fears are just all in our head, and I plan to rewire my thinking on at least one of mine.


Hello 2017, I hope you will be good!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

WP content

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
