Lil Sis has really started to make big progress today with her walking. Much of the day she chose to walk from one place to the next, instead of crawling. At one point I counted 10 steps in a row. She started taking steps before, but usually only a few at a time.
Today it was walk, fall, walk, fall, over and over again. Lil Sis does an adorable zombie walk with her hands straight in front of her, as she wobbles from side to side. The hands out in front so that she can catch herself when she falls.
While writing this blog I have the (Starbucks)Red CD All You Need Is Love playing in the background. With each CD Starbucks contributes $1 to the Global Fund. Part of the slogan is “wish to make a difference”, “wish for love.” I am already fond of Starbucks and find the Starbucks Love project touching.

Probably one of the things I find most appealing about Starbucks is that each time I go in their store I feel a renewed love for whatever season it is. Starbucks really knows how to make one appreciate the season, from their seasonal drinks; pumpkin spice and gingerbread to name a few, to their mugs that reflect the colors and pictures of the season, not to mention the cute store decorations. Needless to say when I received a Starbucks gift card for Christmas I was very happy, thank you!
It makes me happy when products purchased also help to give back, which makes (Product)Red something I heart. An added bonus, red is my favorite color and I am a big fan of anything with the word love or heart symbols on it, and the act of spreading love in any and every way you can. Hence the name of the blogJ.
For me just reading the word love brings warm feelings. Words are powerful. So when I found red pajamas with hearts and love written all over it, I knew they were the perfect Christmas Eve gift for my daughter.

Check out this adorable bib a good friend gave my daughter for Christmas.
It is perfect, right up my alley, and I love it, thank you!
One of the things on my To Do list today was filling in my 2010 calendar. Ideally I would like to have the information; birthdays, appointments on my phone as well as on my hanging calendar. I managed to write everything down on the calendar today but not update my phone. I believe that will take a lot longer.

The option to send alerts to myself and be able to view my calendar no matter where I am is appealing. Also, once I put the information in the computer/phone there are some things I will not have to enter again if I select yearly, such as birthdays. I realize this is not new but I am a little behind on fully using the technology. It crossed my mind to use only my phone synced with the computer, but I find it is much easier for me to glance up at my calendar each morning. Maybe it is the big visual that makes it a better reminder for me. There have been times when I only had something on my phone calendar and found it easier to forget. Or perhaps it is partly because as soon as I close the alert it leaves my mind much faster than seeing it over and over again on the wall.
What works best for you, a digital calendar, a wall hanging calendar, or both?
