• Trail Cam Friday

    I moved the trail cam to the left of our garage door instead of outside my craft room.  My thoughts were: A. easier to get too (true)  B. better variety of pictures (false) So, these are not the best pictures for the week. Granted, it’s been icky outside. It’s either snowing or raining or both at the same time. Seriously cloudy and gray all day. HOWEVER!!! (See?? Y’all knew I’d find something good! RIGHT?!!?!?) The snow, rain, mist produced some really cool effects for this weeks pictures. Of course, I believe I caught a flying saucer yet AGAIN!! Then these were too funny NOT to share. Bear investigating the camera and The Husband pouring corn at justttttttt the right angle that had me doing a double take. See if you do a double take as well. Last picture is really the only picture that really shows the amount of traffic we get. One of these guys is missing an antler. I’m hoping it’s close! I call DIBS!!! I really do love my wildlife photos!

  • Income Streams That Work Even When You Don’t

    jar of coins

    If you were offered the chance to take your salary for a year, or five, or ten, without going into work, would you take it? The vast majority of people surely would, because it would free up time in which we could do other things that we wanted to do, without losing out financially. That’s not to say we only work because we need the money – there are other reasons, including social and health reasons, why it is a good idea to keep up a job or some form of productive routine – but it does open up an interesting question. What if you could be making money even when you’re not working? The idea of truly passive income business ideas interests many people and is a source of regular debate. For one thing, is passive income actually possible? If so, how do we make it happen, and is it enough to live on? The answer to the first question is that yes, you can be making money even while you sleep. However, the other questions require a bit more interrogation, and we’ll look into those, including methods of passive income, below. What constitutes “passive income”? Passive income streams…

  • Need Help In the Kitchen? Ask Your Toddler! (5 Life Tested Tips)

    Help In the Kitchen Mom and daughter in kitchen

    As a busy mother, I totally understand how challenging it could be to make meals and watch your kids simultaneously. And the smaller the baby, the harder it is. Particularly if it’s your first kid! I do my best to make meals as fast as the flash and serve it right away. My family doesn’t like waiting too long 🙂 Recently I’ve got a brand new baby food maker so now I can save extra minutes for reading or writing while snacks are getting ready. Besides cooking, mother always has a lot of duties and chores, therefore, it’s a great way out to get your toddler involved in daily routine too. This way the work is done and your baby is entertained. Sounds great, doesn’t it? So last evening, while we were making dinner in the kitchen, my daughter and I succeeded in combining business with pleasure, we made a cake while fooling around and played new games that I’d prepared. I hope these tips will help you turn your common routines into fun and efficient activities. My daughter Lily is 13 months old and she is so excited being her mommies sous-chef! I’m sure since you read this article,…

  • Yoga Helps Fitness Seekers at All Levels

    When it is time to improve fitness, especially for someone particularly out of shape, it is easy to jump straight into doing a bulk of cardiovascular work, ignoring other exercises. The fact is that, with variety in taking yoga classes or Pilates, fitness seekers will see results sooner and help avoid injuries. Adding your own DIY pre-workout supplement could also benefit your practice. By adding yoga into the mix, fitness fans will love how they feel as they get into shape and even lose weight, if that is one of their goals. Some of the benefits that yoga offers includes balance, strength, flexibility and agility. There are even yoga courses that feature a good deal of cardiovascular work since students are constantly moving throughout the class, through flow, or Vinyasa. There are also types of yoga that focus on strength and balance, giving those who attend classes and pursue this practice beautiful, lithe and sinewy bodies with long and graceful lines. Sometimes, though, yoga is meant for stretching the body since most of us tend to ignore this important part of fitness. Often, once fitness seekers and those who stretch their cardio skills benefit from taking at least one stretch-intensive yoga…
