FUN STUFF & SOME CRAZY LAWS

GET MORE REST
A recent study of over 60,000 women found that those who slept less than 5 hours versus a full 7 hours, are more likely to gain weight.  I thought that was a myth, but over the years have found this to be true.   No more night time snacking for me!

SAVINGS
If you're leaving for vacation, you can save a ton of money by actually turning off your circuit breaker at your business or residence.  You'll truly be amazed by the difference it makes to your electricity bill.

Been going crazy with online purchases? Make it more difficult to spend by removing your credit card info off that site you love.  

READING SLUMP?
We keep staring at our TBR pile, and going  through it, but nothing seems to grab our attention. It really seems to happen even more when the weather gets warmer. You just don't feel like reading any of those dang books.

Some people just take a break for a while, and eventually something grabs our attention.  If you've been reading one genre for a really long time, maybe it's time to switch it up a little with something new, to get that excitement back.  That's what I've been doing for the past year or so, and it's been working pretty well.
