Don't have the opportunity right now to go out and experience something new?  Just get lost in a book.  Among other things, a good book lets you go on the characters' journey along with them.  You can get lost in their world and end up seeing yours in a different light.  Personally, I love a wide variety of stories, but I tend to get lost in books like Pride & Prejudice, Wuthering Heights, and Jane Eyre. It's my way of visiting England while having to stay at home.

What books have taken you on an adventure?

I have found this to be true.  I would rather fail than always wonder what if I had tried and succeeded?  If you fail at what you set out to do, you still come away with other experiences and knowledge.  "Nothing in this world worth having comes easy."  Be willing to get out there and live a life you love!

Whether it is a hop across the pond or lunch at that restaurant in town you've been dying to try out, incredible memories can be made anywhere!  Always take any opportunity that comes your way to try something or go somewhere new.

Mondays can be rough, whether your Monday is the beginning of the week, or your work week starts somewhere in the middle.   Even if you don't work outside of the home, it can be easy to get lost in all the "must dos" of the day.  Take some time today, even if it is just 10 minutes, to do something that makes you happy.  Read a chapter in that book you've been meaning to get to.  Throw some cookies in the oven, homemade or store bought dough... doesn't matter, they'll be delicious and your house will smell great!  Go for a walk if the weather is just begging to be enjoyed.  Or just sit down with a nice cup of tea, wine, whatever you like and breathe.  I do believe that even a small bit of time each day can help keep your spirits up and keep you inspired!  Live a life you love!

Well Hello!

Welcome to my little corner of the world!  Grab a cup of coffee and make yourself at home.  I honestly couldn't tell you why I decided to start this blog.  In the past year or so, something clicked in me and I decided that I have to be more open to pursuing things that will make my family and myself happy.  I want to travel and explore the world with my family, my beautiful 5 year old daughter especially.  I want to find my style again, now that I am no longer in my 20s (though my husband and I have agreed that I can stay 29 for a bit longer).  I want to experience life!  I think taking the opportunity to share places (restaurants, hotels, etc), tips, and style finds with you will make it even more fun and hopefully you'll find something helpful!  I hope that you will join me in my goal of making every day an adventure!
