Is it already December?

I feel like November never happened! Ha time is going by way too fast these days. So my word of advice is, never, ever take anything for granted, life is way too short, never live with a day of regret, because you never know when it will be taken away from you. I do know that this last month I have grown up so much and for that I am grateful!!  I also came to the realization that I am happy so happy, even though the things that have happened to me, have been full of tears and sadness, I can't help but smile. I always have to think... "there is always someone in a worse position"... I was having a conversation with one of my Aunts, whom I love dearly and am so grateful for her in my life about being happy. She told me something that hit me, which inspired me to write this blog. As I mentioned, I have had to do a lot of growing up the past few weeks, and doing some things with a smile can be difficult. She said, "You radiate happiness!" Not that I am trying to put myself on oh a high stool, but you guys, there should never be a day where you don't smile, or where you radiate your happieness. Let others know that you are happy or trying to be happy! It will amaze you how it will compliment your life. It's always good to know that even though you may feel like crap on the inside one day, that people will still see your light shining around you. I challenge you do smile, do your face exercises and smile, it will then become natural for you. I am sure we have all been through our fare share of trials and hardships, but those are what make you strong and live long. I know without a doubt that being happy around the people you interact with it will make others happy too. Happiness is contagious, and it is a good type of contagious! So be nice and spread it.. all over! Try making a list of things that make you happy... I am going to share a list. (Things that make me happy and things that I am grateful for!!!)
-The gospel, I love learning new things about it and going through experiences that help my testimony grow.
-Surprise visits, by anyone
-Frozen yogurt... mmmmm!!!
-My job, even if I am grouchy before, by the end I am always smiling, the ladies there are awesome, a litte shout out to ALL the stylists and nail techs at Bella Mia Salon

-My niece, she now calls me, "Dacey" and she is so freaking cute, with her new vocabulary she can always make my day, even when she is sad
-School, without it, I would be totally board, and would have nothing to do, it keeps me going and I love it and can't wait to go into what I am going into!
- Gum, wow what a refresher! I love my orbit gum ha ha "dirty on the outside, clean on the inside"
-Scarves! Especially now, they keep me warm and stylish!

What being in college has taught me

I know I have been terrible at writing on my blog the past couple of months. School has engulfed my attention and honestly blogging has been the last on my priority list. I wanted to write blog about my college experience... since I graduate in 53 days. I am thrilled beyond words to be this close to being done. I had know idea it would feel like this nor that it would come so soon. In just a few short months I will be able to call myself a graduate of Health Promotion and Education with an emphasis in Community, also being eligible to become CHES (Certified Health Education Specialist) certified. Wow what a mouthful! Being in college was not like I expected, it was much more. I have been through the worst of worst and the best of best experiences. I would like to share with you what I have learned in the past four years (From beginning to end), I hope you can get a good laugh about it. To those who have yet to start college, I strongly encourage you to start thinking about going. You w...

Staying Organized with a Baby and a Budget

Happy 2019 everyone! I hope your year has started off great and I hope it continues to be wonderful! I would like to consider myself to be pretty organized. Some people may find it weird that I love to keep things tidy and have a spot for everything. I hate clutter and huge messes. Yes I know I have a baby who loves to get into everything, literally. So I have had to learn to let her be little and let there be messes. Like most people I know, I binge watched Netflix show "Tidying Up" with Marie Kondo and her KonMari Style. Although fairly organized before the show, I felt inspired to get rid of more and organize deeper. I feel SO much better when my house is clean and things are put away. Spencer always makes fun of me for this slightly OCD quality I have. As I have been taking night classes and not getting home until 9 pm I have found it easier to not want to clean up the kitchen before bed. I do it anyway. Does anyone else have to have a clean kitchen before they go to b...

Potty Training and tips

I know most of you won't care about this post, but I know my future self will be grateful for it. Potty training is so tricky and it really tested my patience. I know everyone experiences it differently and each kid is different. I did a bunch of research on tricks and tips. I didn't just stick to one, I tried a few different ones and even combined some. Let's start from the beginning. Spencer and I wanted to have Evie potty trained before our new little one arrives. I can't even begin to tell you how many people told me I should wait until the new baby came. A good chunk of these same people told me Evie was too young (she is 22 months) and it wasn't worth my time to even try. Here's the thing; I kind of get why people told me these things, but it really made me doubt my abilities to teach Evie a hard task. Let's all be kind and not mom shame those who try things differently and earlier than others. I am with her all day, every day and paid attention to a...
