Hi Friends,
Stress overload! I'm feeling it and many of my friends are feeling it...what is happening? As the school year comes to a close and summer planning begins there is just a lot to do. It's so beautiful outside and all I want to do is sit in my back yard and relax while reading. But life has different plans. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy and fulfilled, I just feel like time is moving by too fast and I can't get everything done I need and want to accomplish. Do you ever feel that way? This is what I do... Take a DEEP BREATH. Say, "I can do this." Make a plan. Ask for help and support. And off I go!
Visit MacKID This Weekend

Happy Armed Forces Day - Sat., May 20
This Saturday, we honor those who are currently serving or who have served in the Armed Forces (military). This includes the Navy, Marines, Air Force, Army, Space Force, Coast Guard, and the National Guard. I understand first-hand the sacrifice these brave people make to keep our country safe. My hubby, father, father-in-law, grandfather, and many other family members served in the military. Know a soldier/See a soldier - tell them Thank You!
Military.com lists many businesses that offer freebies and discounts to active duty and retired members during Military Appreciation Month (May) and all year long.
