Opposite Action

Opposite action is a little strategy I like to use to change my mood. All it means is to do something that makes you feel different than your current mood. I'm feeling down, tired, discouraged, crabby tonight, so you get to be the recipient of a list of things I love!

Time for a story. Tonight was Youth Progress' annual Soup Smackdown event- chefs from local restaurants create a soup inspired by one our kiddos and compete with each other to get the most votes for best soup!

The event was hosted by Hotel Lucia, which was lovely, and the children were adorable and did a great job. I was so impressed by the chefs' generosity and graciousness towards our kids.

Thank you to the following restaurants:
