#jackabeedaily2014 Week 18

Hello Everyone! It is Friday and it is almost Mother's Day! This weekend will be filled with birthday celebrations and celebrating mothers and I would not trade that for the world.  What is everyone up to this weekend? Do you have any fun plans with your moms/sisters/grandmothers?

Today's post is focused around #jackabeedaily Week 18! I'm sure you noticed I am a day off from the normal schedule... that is because I have been running around like mad woman trying to get things done at work and in my personal life. The month of May is a bit crazy for us with all of the birthdays and events, but I promise it will not take away from my time on the blog! 

Day 122: Justin and I went to see The Amazing Spider-Man 2 moving with Danielle and Stephen! If you decide to go see it, make sure to stay through the credits, there are spoilers for upcoming movies!

Day 123: I spent the day with my momma getting pedicures and shopping, then Justin and I celebrated my 25th birthday with my family in the evening with steaks, potatoes and delicious ice cream cake! 

Day 124: Justin and I got some professional pictures taken by my girlfriend who is getting her business up and running! Once I get all of the pictures back, I will make sure to share them with you all! In the mean time, here is a sneak peek on her blog: T Pink Photo

Day 125: Justin and I spent the evening looking at furniture, furnishings and paint chips.  We're getting ready to re-do a room and I am super excited!

Day 126: I came across this on Pinterest and had to share it.  Lately I have been feeling like my workouts (running in particular) have been very slow so this was a firm reminder to me to just keep going.

Day 127: Um, I think this fortune cookie contradicts itself, but it did make us laugh pretty hard when we saw it.

Day 128: First really beautiful day in Michigan and I spent most of it outside.  Danielle, Eric and Ned came for lunch at my building and we sat outside for about an hour then when I got home from work, I spent the majority of my evening reading a book out on the balcony.  Such a wonderful day! 

What exciting things have happened for you in the past week! I'd love to hear from you all!

Blog Topic Series VII

Happy Thursday Readers! I am off schedule this week because of a chaotic schedule between work and my personal life! I hope your week has been well and ends strongly tomorrow! What did you think about the Mother's Day Roundup? Have any of you tried any of the projects? I'd love to see them if you have!

Today's post is another fun Blog Topics Series!

+ Overheard at the Office.  When I saw this site, I laughed out loud! If you work in a position where there are people constantly talking around you, chances are you will hear some pretty funny things.  Take the time to write a few of them down and share them with your readers.  It is a good way to make yourself, and your readers, have a good laugh.

+ Share a Favorite Childhood Memory.  Sharing a personal memory with your readers is a good way for them to get to know you a little better and it provides them with a chance to share a fun memory with you.  

+ Share Your Favorite Quotes.  These could be fitness related, inspirational, love related or motivational.  This is a chance for you to share with your writers what inspires you and gives you a chance to inspire them.

+ Do a Post from the Blog Post Generator.  Feeling stuck? Check out this website that generates fun {and random} topics you can cover on your blog.  It is a good way to do something a bit out of the normal routine without having to put too much thought into it.

+ Share a Vacation Planning Guide or Travel Tips.  So many people want to plan a vacation for themselves, but have no idea where to even begin.  Share tips from a recent trip on how readers can: save money, save time, get the most out of their experiences.  They'll be grateful for the information and it is a good way to share your travels with your readers. 

So what do you think? Do you see any post ideas that inspired you to try something new? I sure hope so! If you decided to try these {or any other previous ideas} please let me know! I love to hear from you all.

Mother's Day Project Roundup

Hello Readers! How is your week going so far? My Monday has been non-stop since I arrived this morning and will continue to be busy until I get home later tonight!

On a fun note:

I hope you have some fun plans to celebrate today!

As you know, Mother's Day is coming up in less than a week, so I wanted to share some fun projects that you can do as a gift for your mom to celebrate her!

Don't these look like so much fun! I'm hoping to try and make most of these for my mom in the next two weeks, but I have a feeling that will not happen because I am so busy.  There are for sure two that I want to get done, and if I do I will make sure to share them with you all!

Those are my favorite Mother's Day pins that I found on Pinterest! What do you think? I am hoping I can make at least one of them for my mom before next Sunday, but that will depend on how my week goes! I will have a busy work week and a busy weekend as well.  

Question of the Day:

What projects have you made for your mom?
