    I dyed my own hair today for the first time. I cou I dyed my own hair today for the first time. I couldn't take the gray anymore. 😄 Thank you to everyone who recommended Madison Reed. I love it. I laughed hysterically as I applied the dye to the back of my head. I tried using a mirror, but I'm not coordinated enough, so I closed my eyes and hoped for the best. 😂 In any case, no one is going to see the back of my head for a while, right? I asked my husband if it was splotchy in the back. He says it looks great, and that's why I love him. * * * #selfcare #nomoregray #quarantine #day26 #madisonreed #madisonreedcolor #diy #laughteristhebestmedicine

    My book signing event today at Barnes & Noble @bnd My book signing event today at Barnes & Noble @bndeerfieldsq wasn't cancelled. It was just moved for the quarantine home edition. Thank you to Joseph, the MC, for the fantastic introduction. Knowing my audience, I did something a little unorthodox this time. Instead of reading from THE ART OF HAPPY MOVING (@williammorrowbooks), I read from DAD JOKES, which is always a crowd pleaser. The audience was so inspired that they turned the book event into an open mic night. If you missed the event today and would like your own copy of THE ART OF HAPPY MOVING, please go to bn.com. In other exciting news, I put on a dress and heels today. 😁 #quarantineday25 #barnesandnoble #bookevent #booksigning #authorlife #coronavirus #quarantine #changeofplans #moving #movingbook #decluttter #simplify #selfhelp #sanity #happiness #thenewnormal #family #gratitude #itsthelittlethings #dadjokes

    Mike Byster shares ways to make our minds stronger Mike Byster shares ways to make our minds stronger while we're stuck at home (link in bio @aliwenzke). Mike has one of the fastest mathematical minds in the world, and I'm lucky to call him my friend. As smart as Mike is, what makes Mike an exceptional human being is his kind heart. He visits schools for free to inspire kids to love numbers. To help families through the pandemic, Mike Byster created new videos to make math fun for kids. You'll definitely want to add these short videos to your e-learning schedule. Thank you, Mike @brainetics, for this terrific interview. My family has been playing cards and doing word puzzles ever since. 😄 If the kids start going to casinos when this is all over, I know who to blame. 😁 * * * * #artofhappymoving #theartofhappymoving #mikebyster #brainetics #math #memory #memorytraining #cardgames #momlife #dadlife #parentingwin #kids #elearning #parenttips #teaching #teachingstrategies #strongmind #braintraining #newblogpost #interview #genius
    I love that people are using this time to declutte I love that people are using this time to declutter. However, most charities are not accepting donations during the coronavirus quarantine. Please call your local charity before dropping off any items. For people moving, I'm trying to find a solution with moving and storage companies to help you out. In the meantime, continue to declutter but realize you may need to make donations after you move. It's not ideal, I know, but keep the items in separate boxes for an easy donation process later. I took this picture when I went for a run. On my way home, the charity was picking up the items. A couple days later, there was a similarly-sized pile left outside the collection box. The weather has been rainy in our area, so the bags were not in the best shape. If you can keep your donations at home for now, please do so until collection schedules are back to normal, but thank you for your generosity during this time. 💕 * * * * #artofhappymoving #theartofhappymoving #declutter #moving #charity #charitabledonations #donate #donation #movingcompany #movingcompanies #storage #storagecompanies #amsa #coronavirus #quarantine #decluttering #simplify #kindness
