Starting the journey to a happy life

As I am looking back on my life I have always wanted to make my parents proud. They dictated almost everything I did and I always wanted their approval. Now that I am 25 I am realizing that I am an adult and I don't need this approval anymore. I live for me and want to fix things in my life that are the outcome from this thinking. I have decided to go back to school to learn culinary arts. This is a big decision for me because I do have responsibilities that are not going to disappear. Whenever the future scares me I always come back to the present and say I don't want to have any regrets. I have a lot of people who have inspired me to chase my dreams and they are the people that keep me going every day. We have one life in this world and why waste it always making someone else happy? I have heard that people change their careers on an average of 5 times in a lifetime. If this is true then I am not a minority. Once I took a tour of the college I realized this is the place for me and I will do whatever it takes to get there. I will be writing more about my journey to culinary school; the struggles and the good times while going through this life change.

Gift idea for new mothers

I recently became an aunt to a little girl named Elleana. I was thinking about a gift that Erin (mother) and Mark (father) would really appreciate and need. I received a Omaha Steaks ad in the mail and a light bulb went off. There are meat packages available that are decently priced. I decided to mail them a package and it turned out to be the best gift.Since she was not able to drive just yet and Mark was back to work there was no time for shopping. They received meat for a couple of months and all that was needed was to defrost and cook.I think baby clothes, bottles, and blankets come in great demand when having a child, but food is a necessity. Everyone has to eat, but what better way then make it convenient. It seems that food is the last thing on a families mind with a newborn present. Feedings, naps, and diaper changes take priority over exhausting yourself to prepare a decent meal for the family. So in case you are looking for a great gift idea for new parents I have found this is a big hit.
