Cassie Daves Blog Planner

This post about having a blog planner has been a long time coming. When I started blogging, I would put up posts randomly, without any set schedule. I think it worked for me for a good while, but at some point, I wanted a bit more structure. I had a little notebook where I wrote everything, and I saved the last few pages for blogging - those pages had my list of post ideas, but not a schedule. I didn't think I needed, or even wanted a planner specifically for my blog. In general, I haven't done very well with planners - I barely even use calendars to be honest, although I'm really trying to use Google Calendar.

But when Cassie mentioned this project she was working on, I was very very impressed. I determined to support her by buying one, even if I wasn't sure I'd use it. And here's the thing... if you have the planner but all you're doing is looking at it, or making plans without any implementation or really utilizing the planner, then it's a waste of time. However, if you are serious about getting better structure with your blog, you need the Cassie Daves Blog Planner!!!

Discover Georgia: Zoo Atlanta

Hi everyone!

A couple of weekends ago, my sister and her family (plus inlaws) planned a trip to Zoo Atlanta. I took a few photos and I've decided to use this post as part of my DISCOVER GEORGIA series. Whenever I go somewhere within Georgia, even if it's next door and I think it's worth spotlighting, I'll add it to the series, so that you my wonderful readers can get a sense of what it's like here.

Happy Easter!

Hello friends,

I wish you a wonderful Easter celebration today. Let's all take this time to remember and be grateful for the sacrifice and victory of salvation through Jesus Christ. Here in The States, it's more about the Easter Bunny and Easter Eggs - I found out here that this tradition actually comes from churches of old! But, like Christmas, it's important to remember the reason for the season.

God bless!

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!!!

I can't even lie, I'm missing being in Nigeria right now. The number of parties and events happening this weekend are astounding! Plus the holiday today and Monday are non-existent in Hamrika - it's not as if I'm working, so which one is my own, right? But I'm looking forward to church on Sunday!

As usual, here are some interesting articles and posts I read online in the past week.

On Adulting

Hi there!

I'm sure some of you reading this are wondering if I've started making up words and gone crazy. Like, what the heck is "Adulting?" You should see the squiggly red underline staring angrily at me right now. You know? The one that shows incorrect spellings.

Well, it turns out that "Adulting" is a newly coined word from 2014, that millennials are throwing around. I first heard it a month or two ago from my sister in this post. By the way, for those that guessed I'm 8 years older than her, you're CORRECT!!! I wish you were winning a prize but I'm jobless right now, so I think YOU should give me a prize.

Anyways, Urban Dictionary defines Adulting as:

(Verb)- To do grown up things and hold responsibilities such as a full-time job, 

a mortgage/rent, car payment, or anything else that makes one think of grown ups.

But erm, isn't this just plain growing up? Maybe I'm an old head and I don't know anything, but really, some things are just silly. 

I must admit that I agree with this photo below though.

For kicks though, tell me how you're adulting today. :D 

Also share the random words you've come across that you think are silly.
