Help Fight Hunger

Do you know how easy it is for one person to make a difference in the lives of many? There are approximately 1 billion hungry people around the world today. Malnutrition and hunger are the #1 risk to health worldwide. Greater than AIDS, Malaria, and Tuberculosis combined!

Itzy Ritzy has teamed with Yum! Brands and joined in the fight against world hunger. Special Edition Snack Happened™ bags can be purchased at www.fromhungertohope.com with 100% of the profits going to the World Hunger Relief Organization. One dollar provides a meal to 4 hungry children at school.
In addition to the items available for sale on www.fromhungertohope.com you can donate directly to the cause. Did you know that $5 can feed 20 people, $10 feeds 40, and $20 feeds 80 people?

Get out and... VOTE!

I almost wasn't going to vote this year, I moved and wasn't sure of my polling place.  Upon receiving this news, my boss was dismayed and looked it up for me :) So I will be serving my civic duty (which I knew all along was the right thing to do)

I know it can be inconvenient, but remember in many countries people are denied the right to vote, so exercise your American freedoms, they are important and should be appreciated! :D

Happy Tuesday!

Thankful Thursday!

Thankful that I just completed the Regulation section of the CPA exam, I will be more thankful if I PASS!

Old Man Winter Is On His Way :(

This time of year is depressing for me.  That is right, I said depressing.

The leaves fall off and I know cold weather and snow is on its way.

After going to college in Bowling Green, Ohio, I cannot appreciate the cold wintery wind, or snow, or ice, or anything snow related.  Driving in it can be downright scary.  So I am going to look for the silver lining today! The following are some things I might even look forward to for the next few months.. let's stay positive!

1.)  For one, I am expecting my first baby in March, so therefore, I love the month of March now, regardless of how cold, snowy, or downright horrendous it is.

2.) Being stuck at home with my husband.  Yeah, you know, its so nice to be out and about, but I can look forward to the time we will spend longuing, especially since it will be our last winter to lounge before our new addition gets here.  Warm pajamas, hot chocolate, movies.  Definitely a positive.

3.) It becomes OK to shop waaaaay too much.  This is a major plus.

4.) Ok, I have to throw this one in here, it IS negative.  TAX SEASON!  For those of you who don't know, I am an accountant.  This tax season will either be a blessing or a terror since I am expecting.  I believe that my huge stomach will be a talking point during appointments more often than I would like, but at least there will be no awkward silences.  Downside to tax season? 55 hour workweeks. Upside? Clients like to bring us goodies :)  Plus I love my job, I have awesome clients and great coworkers, having a job is a blessing in and of itself.

5.) The holidays, friends, and family.  This should probably be number three, right below my bundle-of-joy-to-be and my husband!

6.) Cozy sweaters, warm fuzzy socks, and soups.

So, today I challenge any of you who read this to do your best to turn a negative into a positive, I feel better about the upcoming winter already, kind of. I think. :) 

Whoa!

Between working full time, becoming a mommy, and trying to finish getting my CPA license, I somehow think I can find time to blog as well!  Trying to work on the design when I can grab a second, and later will start adding more content, including my favorite mommy blogs that have outstanding giveaways!

In the meantime, don't mind the blah-ness! :)
