As we can all tell by the pink flying everywhere it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month .... and as a coincidence I had to cancel my mammogram last month. What a crappy thing to do to myself right? You know, kids sick, can't make appointment. But reading all my friends posts about how cancer has touched their lives I know I need to get in. Such a powerful reminder to take care of me! When my friend Lori had breast cancer (she is doing great now) I made her a recipe to help with the nausea and as a joke called it Chemo Moonshine. It is something I really relied on when I was undergoing chemo for Lupus a few years ago. Since I posted it last year it has gone semi-viral on Pinterest and nothing makes me happier than having someone post that it helped or seeing people talk about it on a Breast Cancer board. Seriously, one of my favorite moments as a blogger knowing I actually helped someone going through this horrific fight feel just a tad better. Please click on the picture below for the recipe. I would be honored to have you make this for someone in your life battling chemo. Seeing what a difference posting this simple recipe made for so many people inspired me to say YES when ...

It’s All About Happy
Good Morning Everyone! The sun is shining, the birds are singing and today happens to be my birthday. Happy Birthday to me! It also happens to be the first day of my starting Gretchen Rubin's, The Happiness Project. Last night some of the amazing women from Mom It Forward got together for a virtual book club chat led by Angie Lee and inspired me to read it. I am just a few pages in and have already found so many things resonating with me. The words of the writer Colette had haunted me for years: "What a wonderful life I have had! I only wish I'd realized it sooner." I didn't want to look back, at the end of my life or after some great catastrophe, and think, "How happy I used to be then, if only I'd realized it." Kristen does a great roundup on her blog each week of her Happiness Project progress and has inspired me to do the same here. I haven't picked a day in each week that I will post about it, but I will, I promise. I am going to start now. Happiness Project #1 Started on my 39th birthday! One of the things I can tell you makes me happy is how much travel and spa writing I am getting the chance to do. Last night I found an invitation in my inbox to attend a fun ...
