Going Wickless for Valentine's day

I know what I want for Valentine's day.  A new Scentsy warmer would be perfect for my living room.  I still love my Tiki warmer but would like to change it up with something new.

If you already have plenty of warmers you can always get some Solid Perfume available in your favorite scent. I really enjoy my Enchanted Mist solid perfume. (thank you, hubby, for spoiling me)

National Compliment Day

Today is National Compliment Day.

What is the nicest compliment you have received?

The best compliments I've received:

As mom, when my mom told me my kid's are the most kind, politest, and well-behaved kids.  (With 5 kid's I guess everyone is expecting a pack mentality to take over.. like lord of the flies.)

As a chef, it was when one of the customers asked to speak with me on what was a really bad night.  I was pleasantly surprised when she told me that eating a slice of my Kahlua Mocha Fudge Pie was better than sex.  (to be fair that pie is awesome.. but she must be doing something wrong)

As a woman, when my husband upon seeing me naked just days after delivering our 5th child, told me that I am  the most beautiful, strongest, sexiest woman in the world to him.  (smart man)

From a stranger, While 8 months pregnant with Nadia, an older man stopped at a red light turned to me as I was waiting for the light to change, He told me that I was glowing with a natural beauty that radiated.  It sure made my very pregnant day.  (no makeup, overalls and very round belly is a good look for me.. I guess)

Compliments aren't just for receiving make sure to give a few out to those around you.  You never know just how much happiness your words could bring to someone's day.

A New Year

With each new year comes great expectations.  2012 is going to be the year I am not going to expect things to happen.  I am going to take the actions to make things happen.  Be in control of my life.

At the end of every year I take the time to think about positive things I can do to change my life for the better.   These are the resolutions I make to myself.  No one else will care if I met my resolution or not. I will know.

My Resolutions:

• Get on a consistent workout routine again.

I feel better when I am on a workout routine.  30 day shred... We meet again. ::knee's shake:: 

• Sit down as a family for dinner more often.  

It is very fulfilling as a stay-at-home mom to look around the table at her healthy, happy family.

• Improve household organization.

With my addiction to Pinterest I have found some great projects I can work on to accomplish this with.
