January is “Get a balanced Life” Month. Today, The Morning Thing shared some incredible insight on this topic from imom.com
Janelle shared 3 work/life tips that actually work! She said that she learned a lesson the hard way from a coworker’s note that she left for her on her desk one day. It had just four words — “Leave some for home.” (ouch) Click HERE to read Janelle’s 3 tips.
Dana Hall McCain also shared an article about balance. She says that having it all, and having it stress-free is just not reality. Reducing the sense of conflict may depend more on accepting and making peace with the realities of two-career families (or working single-parent families) than on striving to juggle it all seamlessly. Dana shared 4 Myths of Work-Life Balance. Click HERE to gain more insight.

Whether we like it or not, the weather is starting to get colder and colder. Today we shared to perfect way to fight off the cold, it’s time for some soup!
January is Soup Month! Wanna know some of the history behind the holiday?
Historical evidence of the existence of soup dates all the way back to about 20,000 B.C. Boiling was not a common cooking technique until the invention of a waterproofed container, which started out as clay vessels. Animal Hides and watertight baskets were used along with heated rocks. The word soup itself derives from the French word soupe which means soup or broth. The word restaurant was first used in France, around the 16th century, to refer to a highly concentrated, inexpensive soup, sold by street vendors, that was advertised as an antidote to physical exhaustion. Super cool!
So, since it’s Soup Month so we are sharing some our favorite recipes with you!
Rachel’s favorite soup is Cheesy Potato Soup, because she LOVES cheese and potatoes. Check out the recipe here!
Marcy loves to make Vegetable Soup, but with canned chicken! Add some to this recipe!
Rachel also shared about the first time she had gumbo in Houston, Texas! Check out a similar recipe to what she had here!
