It's Actually Pretty Awesome

The Best Part About Sitting at The Kids Table

We've all been there, literally, we have all sat at the kids table at one point in our life. That main part usually being when we are kids, however my husband and I seem to always find our way to the kids table and have Holiday dinners with the youngest munchkins of the family.

It's really not that bad, no really the kids are fun to talk to and they don't ask too difficult of questions. Mostly things like how old are you and why are you sitting with us. It's not questions like when are you two going to have kids or have you been looking for a job in your field? Why can't you seem to find one?

Kids are sweet, sometimes they are a handful and sometimes you feel like you're going crazy because you can't really have an adult conversation with them. But it's a breath of fresh air and brings me back to a simpler time of worrying about the elf on the shelf or how many more bites do I have to take until I can eat dessert.

Moving on with the conversation specifically. I've been working with children up close and personal since September now and it has really helped me connect more with the children in my family. There is a certain type of conversation that is held when talking to kids, especially the younger ones. They want to tell you everything but they also want to know everything from you and what is going on in your life. End of story, Holidays are great and sitting at the kids table is pretty great too. I sit at the kids table every day at work so I guess I'm pretty prepared for the Holidays!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
