Snazzy Car Kits for Caregivers

Most of us know people who are full time caregivers. Often these sacrificial people spend a lot of time at doctor's appointments which usually means a lot of driving. If you've been wondering about ways to support full time caregivers, why not create an inexpensive car kit. Unlike an emergency kit, this is more about comfort and convenience. 

Simply grab a larger food container and fill it with some helpful items (most of them I already had around my house). I placed a list on top so the driver can easily be reminded what is inside before they go digging.

2020 Resolutions & Finger Hearts

Happy 2020! 

I'm trying something new for this year's resolutions. Instead of resolving to pursue different experiences in the upcoming year, I'm resolving to change my evenings. For 2020, I selected different focuses on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. Check them out:

  • No Tech. Tuesday & Thursday - These will be my two NO social media nights. No FB, TikTok, TV, Pinterest, or the Gram. Instead I'll use those evenings for dates with God, reading, creative hobbies (hopefully writing more blog posts) and more time playing with my pets.
  • Family & Friends Friday - Fridays will be dedicated to connecting with my kids and parents as well as reaching out to friends so we can revitalize and encourage our connections. 
  • Skin Care Sunday - Just what it says. I've been ignoring my skin care in the worse way. I could have easily made this Self Care Sunday or Spa Day Sunday but honestly, my skin is the thing in my routine I neglect the most and what I wanted to focus on overall.  

I'm excited about these decisions! Also, something new I wanted is to have some type of symbol for the year? I've been drawn to the Korean finger heart symbol. This is a small gesture that creates a little heart with your thumb and index finger. I think it's a cute, simple way of expressing love. I have a cartoon drawing of it on my phone screen as a peaceful reminder to be full of love and patience for others. 

Anyway, I pray whoever reads this little post will be blessed in 2020, that you will have love, peace, and a renewed spirit.
