Happy Earth Day!

Let's all do our part and take action to protect and preserve our world :)
Here are a couple of things you can do to make a difference:

1.) Switch out your inefficient lights bulbs to Compact Flouresent Light bulbs and convince a friend to do the same.

2.) Make a pledge to save energy at home.
(The following steps are from the E.P.A.)
  • Turn off appliances and lights when you leave the room.
  • Use the microwave to cook small meals. (It uses less power than an oven.)
  • Purchase "green power" for your home's electricity. (Contact your power supplier to see where and if it is available.)
  • Have leaky air conditioning and refrigeration systems repaired.
  • Cut back on air conditioning and heating use if you can.
  • Insulate your home, water heater and pipes.

Things I am doing:

Switched out the bulbs, making sure I continue to recycle, got rid of the car awhile ago and I am using Philly Car Share (most of their cars are Hybrids) and I'm taking the bus too. This means I drive less and that helps to cut down on pollution.
Another thing I am doing with my children for Earth Day is turning out the lights. This was their idea (Londa & Fareed's idea). We are going to turn off the lights for at least an hour on Earth Day.

Thumbs up to everyone around the world participating and contributing to Earth Day!

How to Cheat without Getting Caught (What I've Learned from Men)

I remember being cheated on. I remember catching him red handed and listening as he denied the whole thing. I remember wondering if the other woman knew he was married. Odds are, she probably did. I didn't understand it and the truth is, I didn't need to. I just needed to remove myself from the situation. My ex was careless in his cheating. After my experience I began watching how men & women cheat. Cousins, friends, co-workers - it seems that everyone has a "Sneaky Link" or a "Secret Bae." And although the memes would have you thinking otherwise, it's not cute. But still, it's interesting. So here are some of the best tips I've learned on how to cheat without getting caught:  1. Let the person you are cheating with know that you are already married, or in a relationship. Have this conversation with the person from the beginning so they know their role, and so that you can establish boundaries. Be clear that you will not be leaving your spou
