Happy Earth Day! ...and update

Thank you for your continued support while I don't blog very often :(   It was a VERY difficult week including dealing with unnecessary drama from people and trying to avoid pre-term labor :(  ...but happy to report, I made some really hard decisions that I think in the end will help keep me sane and healthy! So I'll leave you with a small piece of advice, surround yourself only with those that speak highly of you and you can speak highly of them.  Settle for no less! ....29 days to go!!!

Meanwhile... it's Earth Day!!! I am happy to do my part by working from home and saving the hour commute today! WOOT! Here are some fun ways to celebrate you can still pull off tonight...

Happy Earth Day!

Today is Earth Day! If it clears up any, I might actually be able to go plant something today! (fingers crossed).  I hope we all find something environmentally friendly to do, even if it is small... so what is on your Earth Day plans?

When you are done your good deed, treat yourself to a plant cupcake! Super simple... chocolate cupcake in a terracotta pot, green icing and a sprig of mint! Source  There are tons of earth day crafts and activities you can do with your kids to help them learn about Earth Day... here are a few of my favorite listings
