My birthday was not yesterday but the week before. My birthday was not yesterday but the week before. I got to go to lunch with one of my good friends, then my husband and kids took me to @halfpricebooks to pick out books and @loweshomeimprovement to pick out some plants. And then we headed off to dinner. This is one of the things I picked up from the bookstore. It looks pretty cool, lots of concrete actions to take for those who want to change things. Some of them are simple, some of them take more effort. Just thought I'd share.

Today's guest post comes from Joaquin Miranda of B Today's guest post comes from Joaquin Miranda of Build & Renovate. As global awareness of sustainability and carbon footprint grows, it's crucial to build your home's surroundings to be resilient and low on energy consumption. Adopting energy-efficient landscaping practices is one legitimate way to do that. The residential sector accounts for approximately 20% of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions, mostly from fossil fuels used to heat, cool, and power such built environments. ... https://www.wellcaffeinatedmom.com/2024/07/19/implementing-energy-efficient-landscaping-design-in-2024/

When you're bored, it's easy to check out. We watc When you're bored, it's easy to check out. We watch movies or listen to podcasts while cleaning. We mindlessly scroll through social media while waiting for more exciting things to happen. But if we're not careful, we can scroll long enough that life starts passing us by. Even worse, we start to become bored with our normal lives and long for the lives we see depicted by those we follow on social media.... https://www.wellcaffeinatedmom.com/2024/07/07/lifes-more-fun-when-youre-fully-present-for-it/

I don't know about you, but I've had friends and s I don't know about you, but I've had friends and strangers recently both make comments that have led to me feeling bad at first then getting angry second. When friends and loved ones (let alone strangers) share their big scary hair audacious plans with you, are you someone who cheers them on, or do you start up with all the ways things might go wrong -- or worse tell them outright that it's not possible? Here's a post about why we should keep our fears about what others are doing to ourselves. https://www.wellcaffeinatedmom.com/2024/07/03/stop-asking-people-to-tamp-themselves-down-for-your-comfort/ #supportotherwomen #stoptearingeachotherdown #buildupothers
Laughing is Forever by Jason Stocks – Poetry Am Laughing is Forever by Jason Stocks – Poetry Amazon: https://amzn.to/3VKXdN3 @RABTBookTours #RABTBookTours #LaughingisForever #JasonStocks #Poetry Laughing is Forever is my second book. And while it’s gritty, rhythmic, dark and dangerous it’s also fun, quirky, and inquisitive. Topics range from growing up in the Deep South to questioning the mainstream narrative of how it all . . . came to be. I want people who don’t read much and who hate poetry (the largest demographic) to give this collection a chance and fall in love with books by reading something that they can relate to and/or be awed by. Laughing is Forever is a standalone book, a brand-new beast, but follows in the footsteps of Blameforest in the sense that it’s reinventing what poetry can be. And hopefully inspiring folks to take risks with their own work and stand out from the maddening crowd.
