Happy Valentines Day💕

That sums up this post.

Happy Valentines Day.

I hope you have people close to you that you love and love you.
I hope you know you are loved.
I hope you take the time to breathe today.
I hope you know you are a magnificent being.

That’s a lot of hope, I know.

Today, know how truly blessed you are. If you are alone on this Valentine’s Day, why not treat yourself to some me time. Even if that is just taking a bubble bath and sitting back with a coffee and reading a good book.

Treat Yo Self… to some chocolate, and a good movie.

This day doesn’t have to be about all the material stuff you can give someone, that true just collects dust in a corner. Do something nice for someone else.

If you have a spouse/partner, help with the house work, or offer to make a meal. Come together as a team and show your loved one that they are appreciated.

Sending all my love to anyone who reads this.

The Happiest of Valentines Day to you All from Me.

My Kids Nintendo Christmas List.

This years Christmas is a little different for my children. They usually have very different, very particular items they ask Santa for. This time around though, its different, aside from my youngest daughter asking for the usual Pony or Puppy, the resounding ask between all 3 of them is Nintendo Switch Everything. I swear they get their taste in electronics from me.

Since Christmas is right around the corner, 13 days to be exact. I figured I would make a list of the top 5 Nintendo items that are anticipated by 3 children under our Christmas tree this year.

1. Nintendo Switch

This one is an obvious one. The console is perfect for so many different reasons. You can have it connected to the tv, but if someone else wants to watch tv, it can easily convert to a handheld and be carried on the go. Right now there is a promotion on at Walmart, if you buy a console you also receive a $50 Nintendo Eshop card, which is enough to buy a downloadable game.

2. Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu/ Let’s Go Eevee

The Latest games from the Pokemon Franchise to were released on Nov 16th and have had a huge success in the less than 2 weeks they have been available. There is probably not too much difference between the two games except for the main Pokemon.

In this house we are divided down the middle on favourites. The girls like Pikachu and the boys like Eevee.

3. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

This game is set to be released on December 7th, and will most definitely be received with the same excitement and hype as the Pokemon Games, if not more. People have been waiting for this Game since the time of the GameCube.

4.Pokemon Mega Construct Battle packs.

My kids are intensely in love with Legos and Pokemon, so this brings both together perfectly. They range in size and price. You can get massive battle scenes, or individual Pokémon in pokeballs to build and have endless hours of fun with.

5. Pokemon GX Boxes

These boxes also range in price depending on the main Pokemon on the box. It has the Pokemon foil promo TCG card, 1foil oversized card, 4 Pokemon booster packs, and a code for the Pokemon Trading Card Game Online.

My kids love spending time playing the card game, having battles and comparing cards.

There you have it… I’m sure there are loads more Nintendo items they would love to have.

What are you and yours asking for this Christmas? Any Crazy off the wall items?

This Journey.

So instead of naming this my Monday motivational, which lets be honest the title is getting boring, I switched it up a bit.

Today, I want to touch on the subject of comfort zones. I just stepped out of mine. I have been trying to get my YouTube channel up and running for sometime now. I’ve always come up with some excuse as to not upload a video, and today I finally got sick of it. I have been picking myself apart for too long. I always seem to find something wrong with myself and surrounding, to the point I am never happy with the finished product. So, today I have decided to change all of that and step out of my comfort zone, and upload that video, and continue to upload videos weekly. I am sick of worrying about what everyone thinks of me. If someone likes my face, great, if not, move on.

I’m tired of worrying about everything. I am so very tired of trying to make everyone happy. It is so emotionally draining. I don’t have that much energy as it is. So, I’ve decided to stop wasting my time and energy on the things that truly don’t matter, and spend more time focusing on the things that do. #1: My children, #2: My Blog, #3: My YouTube channel. My children are the reason I get up everyday, and the rest is just my fun me time.

I think it does people good to step out of their comfort zones. It certainly sheds a lot of unneeded stress and anxiety from situations.

Much love on this Monday.
