Well, I'm not a cleaning professional. Just a girl raised in a family filled with clean freaks and who suffers from a moderate case of OCD. Spring Cleaning is always an event for me. I love it because I take control of my environment, organize everything, and feel accomplished. You just don't realize how dirty things can get or how many things you can accumulate in one year. So I'm sharing some of the insights I've learned throughout the years.

A new month always feels optimistic to me. That's a little strange given how pessimistic I can be. There's still a small part of me believes in the endless possibility of positive things that can happen in a new month. Okay, maybe this month it's because nearly every horoscope I curiously took a peek at said exciting things were coming. So head's up every Taurus, who isn't me, it's gonna be a good month for you! Cut to the end of the month where I'm super bummed and trying to be optimistic about May (my birthday, heyyyy).

As the wise philosopher Drake once said, "better late than never, but never late is better." I know I said I would try to update more as if anyone reads this at all, but my funk is still lingering over my head. I tried to put together tons of different posts, but all of them just felt really uninspired. No one wants to see that kinda stuff and I certainly don't want to look back on it. April is almost here which is kind of a bummer, but also a chance for a fresh start. I figured I'd end March strong by sharing some stuff from around the internet I like right now. I made it a bit longer and chose all kinds of stuff from food to wellness and, of course, new music.

Ask and you shall receive. A brand new installment of Links I Love is here. The perfect supplement for a Tuesday morning. Whether you need a break from work already or just are trying to waste time on the internet, there's so much to look at. With so much available, why not look at the good things? Okay, maybe what I consider to be the good things...

It seems like this year everyone has Super Bowl Fatigue. I get it. Who wants to watch Tom Brady win yet another Super Bowl? It's like Groundhog Day. Just the same thing over and over. Trust me, as someone who lives in a different kind of Groundhog Day scenario, I get it all too well. But, truly, even if you can't get behind the game itself, there's always the commercials and the food. In honor of the big game that will be shoved down our collective throats for at least the next 72 hours, I thought why not make the most of it with five fun things. These things will either enhance your Super Bowl 52 experience or just be (hopefully) entertaining for about 5 minutes.

The best gift guide has arrived. The perfect gifts for sisters from another misters. The person who gives you guy advice you're likely not to take and eventually regret. The person who encourages you to "eat the burger" because life is way too short to keep eating kale. The person who orders pitchers of margaritas because life. Best friends often know things about us that no one else really does. They are there for us when we do dumb things or attempt to stop us from doing dumb things.

I am a dog mom through and through, and people are expected to spend 69 billion dollars on their pets in 2017. No joke. My dog Chloe is incredibly spoiled. She loves to wear outfits especially sweaters. She is an expert at pretending she didn't make a mess when everyone knows she did (how else did the box of Diet Coke cans get knocked over?) And she really hates cell phones because they take the attention off her. Pets have become such a large part of our family that we tend to spoil them quite a bit like they are children.

Being a parent must be rough sometimes. I wouldn't really know. I'm pretty much just a dog mom and I know she's a handful. I mean who else insists would insist on eating their Trader Joe's gingerbread dog treats on my Christmas tree skirt like it's some kind of convenient blanket?Someday I hope to be a parent as scary of thought that is. I look forward to the days I'll be piling on even more things than I already attempt to.
