Nature's Sleep
I have all sorts of things on my New Year's Resolution list this year. It includes many of the usuals: losing weight, staying fit, getting defined abs, not working myself to death, but one thing important ties all my resolutions together...getting good sleep!

It's been a while since I've done a Wordless Wednesday but with the holiday season here, it's so hard to resist. As you know though, it's practically impossible to do Wordless Wednesday. I've always got something to say so let's call it an almost Wordless Wednesday.

Who's a fan of ABC shows? Modern Family is definitely a favorite in our household...and Once Upon a Time is my new addiction (I caught up to Season 3 in less than a week!) but now I've picked up a couple new shows. I was lucky enough to get to screen an episode of "The Neighbors" and "Agents of Shield".

The holiday season is here and amongst the hustle and bustle, have you stopped to pay it forward this holiday season? I recently posted about visiting and helping out at the Animal Relief Fund Adoption Event. Since we visited a smaller scale adoption run, we decided to check out one of the bigger sites as well.

Having adopted JR, adoption is a topic very close to my heart. So as a Nutrish® Ambassador, I was more than happy to extract some time out of my busy schedule to do some good, just in time for the holiday season! We made a series of two visits, wherein we visited a couple of shelters, helped out and donated some Nutrish coupons for hopeful adoptees.
