Winter BLAH Day idea list

Although we have had an amazingly mild winter and the days have been beautiful with sunshine, it is still hard to let the kiddos out on colder days.
So just in case you have some stir crazy kiddos, I have put together a Winter BLAH day idea list:

Evansville has so many things to do to get out of the house that are either free or relatively inexpensive.  Here are few that you can take the kiddos to:

Mesker Park Zoo has the wonderful Amazonia exhibit!  I can spend hours in there watching all the animals.  You can check that out here:  http://www.meskerparkzoo.com/
They have events throughout the month that are extremely interactive with the little ones.

Evansville African American Museum Located closer to downtown, this exhibit is has artifacts from the original buildings from 1930's and also showcases local artists, traveling exhibits and giftshop.
For the smaller kiddos, they usually have great craft days on the weekends.  Check their schedule for events:  https://evansvilleaamuseum.wordpress.com/

Evansville Museum of Arts, History and Sciences Located downtown on the river, the museum has undergone many renovations. The latest is the Koch Immersive Theater.  You can't help but be amazed at the many exhibits.  You can check out the schedule here: http://www.emuseum.org/

And of course, if you haven't been there - you MUST go.....

Children's Museum of Evansville Located downtown Evansville near the Ford Center, this place is loaded with fun.  Make sure you bring your sneakers because you are going to want to get involved with the interactive goodies with the kiddos!  You can check out all the fun things right here:  http://www.cmoekids.org/    The kiddos will even enjoy the website!

Now, if you are looking for ideas for exercise, Evansville has a lot of fun things to do!  

The YMCA of Southwest Indiana has two locations!  One is downtown and the other is on the east side off of Burkhardt.  Both have plenty of things to do to keep kiddos and momma/daddy happy!

Love to Ice Skate?  Swonder Ice Arena is a beautiful indoor arena that has given most of the large competitive ice arenas in the midwest a run for their money! You can check out their hours and prices here:  http://www.skateswonder.com/

Being that I am far from the crafty moms out there, I will still send you here for some great indoor craft ideas.  Or, how about here

Here is another great website that has a lot of indoor craft ideas.

The time with family is so short.  Enjoy it.  Embrace it.  Make memories.

Got any more ideas?  Email me.  I'll be happy to post them!

2015? What happened to 2014?

WHAT?? 2015??

I used to hear it all the time from my parents: "Where does the time go?"

Now I understand why they said that.  I'm thinking that now!  Where in the world did 2014 go?  And 2013 and 2012 for that matter?

Goals were set.  Days, weeks and months quickly zipped by. 

Some of my hightlites include a trip to the Dominican Repulic - spending two days in the Atlanta Airport (no thank you, Delta Airlines).  I was blessed to spend some wonderful time with my daughter, Catie.

I flew to Los Angeles for a week for ERA's International Business Conference.  There I was honored to be selected as one of the top 3 Rookie of the Year for 2013 - Internationally!  (WOW! Still blows my mind!)  There in LA, I got to spend some time with wonderful colleagues touring the city and quality time with my hubby.

I spent a few days in St. Louis with my wonderful family camping and visiting Grant's Farm.

I spent another week in Orlando at Disney with my entire family and had the time of our lives. 

Workwise: I doubled my year from last year both in production and wonderful clients.  

I started my own radio program for real estate.

I hired a wonderful Assistant (Miss Micha) that has helped me physically, mentally and spiritually. She is definitely a God send. 

So here we are.....the last few days of 2014 and we reflect on our good times, bad times and questionable times.  

As I reflect, I do not dwell on the bad times or question the questionable times.  I have embraced the knowledge that everything happens for a reason.  I also know that mistakes I have made in the past do not define who I am.  Mistakes are lessons learned.   I move on.  I also thank God for good things and bad things.  All my experiences are ordained.  The people I have met and the wonderful clients that I have worked with......all sent directly to me.  God is awesome like that.

I have been blessed with this wonderful opportunity to help people.  I help buyers find the home of their dreams and I help sellers sell their home.  It's a great thing.  I love what I do and I actually GET PAID FOR IT!  I still can't believe it.  I am one lucky girl!

So....bring it on 2015.  I'm ready for you.  I'll meet new clients, new co workers and new friends.  I'll have new experiences (both good and bad) and new goals to meet.   I'm excited to see what this year will bring. Bring It.

Visions of a NON Domestic Goddess

So I've never been all domestic (AKA Susie Home Maker).  And honestly, have always been a bit green with envy for those that are.  My creative counterparts can envision a project the minute they see something that they can use. (Karol Bryant, Cori Walton and my mom)

So, with the holidays upon us, all I can do is scan the internet of all these wonderful ideas and just "Pin" them to my Pinterest wall and know beforehand, that they will never be tried.

I thought I would share them with you.  Maybe someone can use some of these oh so cool ideas.
