Hello there and Happy Friday! Today is day 30 in the blog every day in May challenge. Today's prompt is: best advice you've received lately.
Take it one day at a time.
I really, really, really needed to hear those words. I tend to try to do too much in a short amount of time. And then I get overwhelmed. In addition, I don't really do too well with change. I like everything to be planned the way that I want or how I am used to.
Recently, I've been feeling a little overwhelmed and a friend told me to take it one day at time...just breathe, relax...you got this. I seriously needed to hear those words. I'm so glad that she told me that. If I ever get overwhelmed, I definitely hope that I remember those words. Maybe I should type the advice and add some designs to it so that I can print it out and frame it. I definitely won't forget it if it's on my desk.
What's the best advice you've received lately?
Until next time...

What have you said 'yes' to today?
Hello there! As you know I am participating in the blog every day in May challenge. Today is day 29 in the challenge and the prompt for today is: what have you said 'yes' to today?
I actually had to think about this one. Then I realized that there are several ways that you can look at this prompt which is awesome. So what did I say yes to today?
I said yes to:

I said yes to:
- To my boys...they wanted an extra ice cream
- Getting pizza for dinner
- Cleaning the entire house and getting most of the laundry done (so I can relax tomorrow)
- Me time
- Going over to my mom's house so she can watch the boys for a little bit
- Having an extra ice cream cone (for me) :)
- Being comfy...and wearing yoga pants and oversized shirt
What have you said yes to today?

Familia
Hello there! Today is day 28 in the blog every day in May challenge. Today's prompt is: Family. What do you love? Best traits? What crazy genetics do you have in common? Fave photo?
Familia...where do I begin? Family can be complicated, but so simple at the same time. Family is awesome and just makes me happy. I absolutely love my family even those who I do not speak to often. I love my husband and my children. I love my mother and my siblings. We may argue at times and no matter how much time may pass, we still love each other. I love when our family starts expanding and seeing new life added to the familia. New babies, in laws, etc. is truly a blessing.
When I think about it, I have a large family. I've even "met" family members who I have never spoken to via Facebook (yes...seriously real family members...it's a long story). It's amazing what that people can find family on social media.
I could go on and on about family, but it would probably take forever. There's just so much that can be said about family. Every family is different and although not every family is super happy...I like to think that the love is still there for every single family.
What do you love about your family? Do you have a favorite photo? I look forward to reading all of the other posts in the link up over at the Love Happy Daily blog.
Until next time...

Currently List #6
Hello there! It's Tuesday and you know what that means...it's Currently List time! This is my sixth card that I am posting here on my blog. I absolutely love filling these cards out! There are so many different ways to use these cards. I use them for my Project Life album. I may even use a few for future mini albums.
Watching: I love watching La Patrona. It comes on really late so I have to record it....thank goodness for my DVR.
Reading: I always wake up and check my emails and then check my blog. I've also been reading posts from the blogs that I read like Ramblings of a Suburban Mom and Amanda Rose blog.
Listening: I really, really love this song. I literally have it on repeat.
Making: I have so many things to do this week so I have to finalize the list now since it's already Tuesday.
Feeling: I'm feeling content...it looks like it's going to be a great day and I hope it's an awesome week as well.
Planning: I have seriously got to finish this Disney album. I want to get it done before I go to Disney so that when I get back all I have to do is add journaling and my pictures. I definitely will be working on this on Friday...I'm just glad that I only have to add embellishments since the album is put together.
Loving: I love Project Life and all the different things that you can do with it. I love looking at other people's albums and how creative everyone is. I also have been enjoying seeing other crafting projects as well. Is it weird that I am already looking at crafting projects for the Fall and Winter (like Halloween and Christmas)?

May 2014 Conscious Box
Hello there and Happy Memorial Day! Before I get into my Conscious Box review, I want to thank our veterans and current servicemen and women who serve our country.
For those of you who are participating in the blog every day in May challenge, today is day 26! The challenge is almost over and it has been so much fun! I've done most of the challenges (except for one or two that I didn't want to do), but I made sure to still blog every day which is what my main goal was. Today's prompt is: invite someone to guest post for you.
Instead of doing this prompt, I will be reviewing my May 2014 Conscious Box. So here we go...

Today's prompt is: invite someone to guest post for you.
Instead of doing this prompt, I will be reviewing my May 2014 Conscious Box. So here we go...
First view of the box
After taking the wrapping off
Clif Kid Organic Z Bar: I was super excited to get this. I have been wanting to get this for my boys, but was worried about buying a whole box and then the boys not liking it. They haven't tried it yet so hopefully today I can get them to try it.
Cascadian Farm Super Squares: I have heard of this brand before. I never really bothered to try them though, but I was glad that I received this. I have seen a lot of people purchase Cascadian Farm products. I did try it...I didn't hate, but I didn't love it either. However, I may purchase a box and try some other flavors.
ECOVER Dishwasher Tablets: I received this in last month's box. I was glad that I found out that I can put it in a cutlery basket. So I will be trying it.
Natural Dynamix-Kramp Krusher: I'm not an endurance athlete so this won't be too useful for me. I will be passing this along.
Flora-Floradix: This is an iron and herb supplement. This may be useful so I think I'm going to keep it around.
Weleda Replenishing Shampoo and Conditioner: I received this in a previous box. I will be putting this in my travel bag with the other sample that I received.
San Francisco Bay Gourmet Coffee: I use my Keurig to make coffee so I'm not sure how I'm going to make this. It smells very strong. I immediately knew that I had some type of coffee sample when I opened my box. Also I'm not much of a coffee drinker...I prefer hot chocolate and I do love caramel macchiatos.
Ito-En Match Green Tea Latte: I received this in a different flavor last month. I will be passing this on to someone else. I do not like tea at all so I was a little disappointed to get this in my box.
Flents Wipe 'N Clear Wipe: This is really cool and I love that it's biodegradable. I plan to use these on my sunglasses.
Crystal Body Deodorant Towelettes: I also received this in my previous box. I have also put this in my travel bag as well so it will be used.
Nordic Naturals Omega Boost: I also received this in my last box and I will be using it as well. I really think that it is cool that it's not a vitamin that's in a pill, but that it looks like it can be mixed in something.
Bio Bag 3 Gallong Bag: I love this! I usually use my reusable bags to go shopping, but I occasionally use plastic bags for dirty diapers. I will have to look for these bags in stores.
I also received a few coupons and a pamphlet with some information on the towelettes.
So that is my review. I wouldn't say that this was the best box since I had several items that I received and I would have preferred to have received something different. However, there were several items that I did like.
Do you subscribe to Conscious Box? Or any other subscription boxes? If you participated in the blog every day in May challenge, please let me know who was your guest blogger.
Until next time...

Picking 3 people would be really tough. There are so many interesting people out there. However, I know someone I would for sure love to have for dinner would be...
- My grandmother. She passed away when my mother was very young (around 9 or 10 years old). I would have loved to have met her and I know my mother would absolutely love to have her back.
- Michael Buble. I love his songs. Maybe he could he even sing at dinner! That would be awesome.
- Maya Rudolph. She's super funny and you can't have dinner without lots of laughs.
There are several other people who I would love to invite to dinner such as:
- The Mirabal Sisters
- Adam Sandler
- Obama
- Abraham Lincoln
- Natalie Wood
- The flag raisers on Iwo Jima (Ira Hayes, Franklin Sousley, Michael Strank, John Bradley, Rene Gagnon, and Harlon Block)
- Lt. Col Jacqueline Cochran
- Hillary Rodham Clinton
- Edgar Allan Poe
My entire family would have to be at dinner as well. It just wouldn't be the same without them.
Who would you invite to your dinner party?
Until next time...
