All in all I guess I wanted to give a small shout out the one of the most cool sisters I could have. I am blessed to call her my sister, and I know what ever road Paige chooses, it's going to be great!

My little sister Paige
This weekend has been pretty crazy. I am getting to the realization that my little sister is no longer in elementary school... I haven't even began to fathom the idea that she actually has just graduated high school. It's depressing and exciting all at the same time. She has been such a good influence to me, and has made me want to be a better example everyday for her. She is a beautiful person inside and out. My little sister is such a cool kid and I want to be her friend. She is the girl I would've looked up to in school. She is that awesome. Paige not only is a beauty, she can sing, she can play tennis like a pro, she has organizational skills like no one I know, and she is a perfectionist. AND, she LOVES Disney. Which leads me into my next topic. I don't know how I should feel, I don't like the idea but I am so excited for her. My baby sister is going to be moving to California to work at the happiest place on earth. Yep, she's going to Disneyland! I have no idea where she got the bravery but I'm a little jealous. okay, I am A LOT jealous. I have always secretly wanted to be a princess at Disneyland. I don't know if that's what she really will be doing, but I know she will be awesome at what ever she gets a job to do. Even if its passing out churros at the Matterhorn. YO-DA-LAY-HE-HOO.

I have a problem....
So I know I have been slacking on my blog, I blame it on having a child, good excuse right?
I've noticed I have been so tied up in the next big thing I want to do or what plans I want to make and I have started to push good out of my life. I need a change. but the first step in solving a problem is realizing there is one right?
We never have had cable or satellite but, I noticed I was glued to amazon prime. why not? It's got tons of free shows, movies, KID SHOWS! AND... free shipping on amazons website with a yearly subscription. Looking back I have been pretty selfish with my time. Our house has not been a home (messes), I have had no gumption to cook fresh meals like I did, and Chanel just wasn't getting as much time as she deserves, especially since Jordan is such a hard worker, I get the privilege of being home with her all day. I don't know, I guess you get so wrapped up in the next idea from pinterest, or project, or the silly pitty parties of what you don't have, you forget what you do have right in front of you. So I've made a change. I've decided I need to unplug a little. I'm cutting down t.v. time. I admit I have a problem, a problem with overlooking my own life and letting it get so crazy I have no control.
I'm making an effort to do a little more service. I don't consider myself completely selfish, but the time I spend on my phone or in front of the t.v. I could be spending on others who could use even just a little help. Of course family comes first, but I also want to give more. I want to use my precious time for good, not for idle things.
I've also taken on the challenge of the 100 days happy and I can already notice the difference in my life and I challenge you to do the same. Even if you don't post on facebook or where ever else, try to find one good thing a day that puts a smile on your face or something you could do to feel accomplished. It gets easier as each day passes I promise. You will notice a difference!
