I am the queen of to do lists. You’ll rarely find me without my to do list, and it became even easier for me when I started keeping a bullet journal. Everything is in one spot so I always have the list with me. My to do list never has just a couple of items…
Respect Blog and Journal Prompts
Respect shows itself in different ways. Everything from the respect we give someone who’s older than us, respect we show authority, and even our own self-respect.

Making Healthy Choices with 4-H Food Smart Families
In addition to the clubs, programs, contests, and educational resources, 4-H also does a lot for the community. They provide opportunities and encourage kids to get out in the community to volunteer. Since 2001, one of the amazing program opportunities 4-H offers in partnership with United Healthcare is 4-H Food Smart Families.
Almost 16 million children live in households that are food insecure. This means they don’t have consistent access to food year round. The Food Smart Families program works with these families to educate them on how to plan, shop for and prepare healthy meals.
In the past six years 340,000 youth and their families in 14 states have benefitted from healthy living programs provided by the partnership between United Healthcare and 4-H.

Finding Positive Inspiration Through the Rude Behavior of Others

The wrong person may just be a blogger, like me, who’s going to share your story with the public. Okay, really if you’re going to pull something childish and rude…
May Blog & Journal Prompts
I really do hope April showers bring May flowers, because wow it was a rainy April this year.

Not only will…
