De-cluttering space can FREE your #dreams

De-Clutter space to free ideas

There are times when my life is out of control from all the clutter around me and I have to press pause to CLEAN.

Recently, I wrote down what I wanted to accomplish and why creating space in my surroundings was as integral as breathing to succeed. As I started to shred papers, throw away old materials, it was apparent to me that I keep things for no apparent reason. It was time to get RID of all the irrelevant materials.

It’s true – as you de-clutter your space life gets lighter, breathing get’s easier and ideas become liquid once again.

Here is a great post I read on de-cluttering and hope you will join me in getting rid of the garbage, which no longer serves you.

Happy De-cluttering!

Good Morning, BNM!!

Pregnancy can be one of the most exciting times in a person or couple’s life. It is the circle of life that people look forward to continuing throughout life. However, it can also be a very expensive time depending on the type of health care that you have. Since health care is something that people usually hate paying for and it is always up for debate, it can be easy to be confused. The type of health care that you can get might sometimes vary depending on your economic status and other variables; it is important that as a new parent you understand the differences in health care while you are pregnant and even what steps you might want to take before you actually start trying to have a baby.

7 Ways You’re Hurting Your Daughter’s Future

Should Girls play with more than dolls?

I recently read this great article posted on the Mocha Moms discussion board and wanted to share.

 

The article is from Forbes magazine and talks about how as parents we may cripple our girls with thoughts as it relates to old-fashioned gender roles.

Someday you want your daughter, niece, goddaughter and best friend’s little girl to grow up and have the option of being a firewoman, a writer, an Olympic gold medalist in boxing, a sergeant, a celebrity chef, the president … or whatever else her little heart desires.

And you want her to get paid the exact same amount for the same work that her male colleagues do. Read more here.

Let me know your thoughts on the article?
