50+ Things to Do When You’re Stuck in Bed

I've never been on bedrest before, but I always imagined that I'd hate it. I like to be on the go, and there's always something to do, so I always figured being stuck in bed would be the worst thing ever. It can be, if that's going to be your continued mindset. But with me being stuck in bed for the last few days, I've had to figure out how to keep myself occupied in order not to go crazy.

Renewed Thankfulness

I know that Thanksgiving is over; however, today I have a renewed thankfulness for my friends and family. It's not that I was ever really not thankful for them, because I thank God for them every single day.

Goal Setting: Week of November 22, 2015

Well, this week certainly didn't do what I thought it would.  On Tuesday I found out my mom was coming in to town, so we adjusted our schedules appropriately.  It didn't really throw much of a wrench into things, especially because she has been very helpful around the house.  So despite washing an extra set of sheets this week, I accomplished most of what was on my to-do list and still am managing to attend a holiday festival and have a party today.  So, I'd say I fared rather well this week.
