3 Reasons to Be Optimistic In Life

Bad habits – it’s something we all have. Whether you’re battling it in a substance abuse treatment center or you’re trying to quit smoking, there’s always some bad habit that someone has. It’s important that you don’t let bad habits take control of your life. They are not going to help your health in most cases, and they probably cause a lot of problems outside of it. Perhaps it’s a financial cost, or it’s something family or friends don’t agree with.
Cut Out Alcohol Where You Can
Alcohol can be great, and it’s something a lot of us like to enjoy when celebrating or going out to socialize with friends or family members. However, too many of us nowadays drink to binge on it, and that’s not healthy. Try to cut out alcohol where you can and where it’s not necessary. Control the amount that you’re drinking and ensure it’s not causing any problems with your health. Alcohol is not worth your health, both physically and emotionally.
Maintaining a healthy diet is possible and is important, so when it comes to making those changes, follow these tips. Cut out alcohol and any bad habits, eat your vegetables and fruit. Portion control your meals where you can and keep an eye on what it is you’re eating.

Every year we make enough food on thanksgiving to feed an army…it doesn’t matter how many people are over, it still seems we have the same amount of leftovers every year..so what do you do will all those leftovers? Why not make Thanksgiving Leftover Breakfast Tacos or “Black Friday” Breakfast Tacos…
The best thing about these tacos is they are also freezer friendly..so you can make 20 tacos and heat them up as needed! You will need…
Goldrich Eggs
Leftover Potatoes
Leftover Ham or Turkey (your choice)
Shredded Cheese (you can use leftover cheese blocks and shred them)
Tortillas, corn or flour
We make homemade mashed potatoes, so we usually have unused leftover potatoes..these you can either grate and make hash potatoes for your tacos, or dice into cubes and bake or cook in a skillet with a little olive oil to soften.
Scramble up your eggs, number of eggs depends on the number of tacos you would like to make…I figure 1/2 egg per taco, because were adding so many other goodies too. We found these Great Day Farms Eggs who now have Goldrich Eggs available in Walmart stores..and we love the bright rich yolks.
We eat Ham & Turkey at Thanksgiving so we usually have a lot of both left over…dice up you ham into cubes and/or shred you turkey.
When you are ready to start cooking your eggs I suggest tossing in the ham & potatoes while it cooks so it is all blended..then just spoon your ingredients in a corn or flour tortilla, sprinkle with cheese and wrap it up.
If freezing wrap in foil and place in freezer bags. When ready to reheat stick in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds & enjoy!
We used 12 eggs, 3 med potatoes, three slices of ham and about 1 1/2 cups of cheese….that make 20 tacos.
What do you do with your leftovers?
This Recipe was prepared using Goldrich Eggs, a new sister company of Great Day Farms, now carried in Walmart stores. Also look for them on the IBotta App (available till Nov 20)

When it comes to buying for baby, there’s just so many options on the market for each item it can be a little overwhelming. You should ask yourself is if it has the necessary function, style, and versatility to make it worth buying. No sense adding something else to the already over-packed room if it doesn’t. Babies outgrow things so very quickly, there’s just no sense in getting something that just won’t last more than a few months.
I have to admit, I was one of those parents that didn’t think a diaper pail was a necessity…mostly because I didn’t want to have to buy the refills and thought it was a bit silly to have a “special” trash can just for diapers…I have a trash can in the kitchen, or the bathroom, that will do…right?…well after 4 kids and many diapers later, I can tell you, having a pail next to the changing area is definitely worth it, but I’m still not a huge fan of wasting money on unnecessary things.
This year I was introduced to the newly launched Bubula Diaper Pail. This pail is made of steel and stands 25″ tall and is slim, fitting nicely into a small space. It’s tall enough that I don’t have to reach down to dispose of a diaper, it locks out odor nicely and can be used with my every day household trash bags!
I was sent the white Bubula because I wanted it to match any decor in the house. But if you’re looking for something a little more colorful, you’re in luck…they have seven colors to choose from…white, sage, purple, blue, grey with white, white with grey.
It’s not very complicated to use at all like some of the other “diaper pails” on the market. With just a tap on one side of the lid, you place the dirty diaper in a compartment and close the door, and then push a button on the other side of the lid which drops it into the pail. This pail has it all, style and function, plus when your done using it for diaper, you can use it as a regular old trash can, great in the bathroom…so it’s also versatile.
If your pregnant, have a young baby or know someone having a baby, I recommend checking out the Bubula Diaper Pail! You can learn more about the new Bubula Diaper Pail on their website.
The Bubula Diaper Pail retails for $89.99 and is currently available on Amazon, Babies “R” Us & buybuyBABY.

Today is a little bitter sweet…it’s my final coverage from my #McFarlandUSAEvent Trip to LA, but I get to share the behind the scenes look into the Tinkerbell and the legend of the Neverbeast music making process with Featured Instrumentalist Bleu McAuley & Music Supervisor Brett Swain !
Tinkerbell and the Legend of the Neverbeast is Bleu’s very first film that he’s worked on, ever! The director, Steve Loter, was a big fan of his career for years, even listening to it on his daily 1 1/2 commute to work..and after one of Bleu’s shows, Steve approached him and mentioned he was working on a project and wanted to see if Bleu had interest in meeting with him to learn more.
I walked into this building for my first meeting, and I was like, oh, man, I — I think I might be making some music for a Disney film.
Steve wanted something unique for this film, new sounds, especially for the Neverbeast, Gruff.
So the challenge for me was to come up with this unique sound palette for him and all the other characters in the film. So I’ll talk briefly about the instruments that we used for Gruff.
He shows us how he incorporated planters that he turned upside down and how they fit perfectly on cymbal stands. He talks about how they got dozens of pots, all different kinds, because they all have their own unique pitches. They also pulled in some drum sounds with different types of drums and a tin trash can.
Bleu knew that he wanted to use acoustic stringed instruments in the film because he has a big background in that and alternate tunings and low strung guitars and high-strung guitars and all these sorts of different things.
But I didn’t want it to be an acoustic guitar score ’cause again that has a specific connotation of folk music or country music or the west and that kinda thing. I didn’t want to place it in that territory. So, I was looking for new ways to play acoustic instruments.
So they created a unique sound with a guitar and dulcimer hammers, which requires two people to work the instrument. They call the instrument a dulcetar, which is a combination of the two instruments used. You will hear this sound a lot when you see Fawn.
Then he showed us the fun whirly tubes they used during parts of the film because they sound like wind through the trees.. after that they demonstrated different copper and chrome pipes that they had strung up to use when identifying with Nix.
You can see a short clip of the sound demonstrations below…
It was really cool to be able to see and hear the process behind the music. I never really knew so much went into it…Bleu was originally hired on to choreograph one song, but not long after working on that song, he was asked to do several other songs and the score for the movie.
