Get This Book Before Making Your New Year's Resolutions

Ok, go get this book NOW!!!  If there's anything I love to talk about, it's habits.  Trying to change them, how they form, if they're good or bad, whatever.  Let's just say Gretchen and I would be good buds (and bonus, we're both firstborns).  :)

Anyway, this book didn't make my Five Books I'd Recommend as Gifts This Holiday Season list, but it's on my extended list of books I want to read for myself.  It's that good - you COULD get it for someone else, but I'm saying get it FOR YOURSELF people.  Gretchen's podcast is one of my favorites because I love the short, easily digestible segments of her and her awesome sis talking about their personal habits with Gretchen also sharing bits of her vast knowledge on habits and happiness.  Their Try This At Home suggestion they have each episode gives me a new challenge if it's one I haven't already tried/accomplished.  I did mention I'm a habit maniac, didn't I?

Be sure to visit Gretchen's page to get your pre-order bonus, but do it BEFORE December 15th.  And if you order via Amazon, the book will be here in time to digest before January 1st, giving you the biggest edge ever in tackling your New Year's Resolutions in 2016!

Who Moved My Cheese?

So I'm blogging along, trying to get some posts done.  Updating this and that.

I need to copy something from here and paste it to there.  Except my 'here' doesn't look quite right.  Actually it's downright boring.

What happened?

My 'Cutest Blog on the Block' wasn't so cute anymore.  Apparently they declutter every now and then, getting rid of templates that aren't being used very much.  Or something. 

Needless to say, I have an updated look now.  Hope you like it!  :)


Speaking of decluttering, we did some decluttering in my daughter's room this weekend.  If you would like to 'declutter', my good friend Flylady has some wonderful tips on that here called 'How to Declutter'.  She also says to remember that your house didn't get this dirty overnight, so it's not going to get decluttered and clean overnight either.

But, wouldn't that be oh, so dreamy if it did?  Nitey nite, piles of papers and dust bunnies hiding in the corners.  I WON'T see you in the morning!  haha


BTW, if you'd like to read the book with the same title as this post, check it out here at Amazon.
