The Harlem Globetrotters Pushing The Limits World Tour

February 17, 2020 By: Nanette

This post is written in conjunction with US Family Guide and The Harlem Globetrotters.

My family and I enjoyed watching the Harlem Globetrotters so much! I don’t think I’ve heard my husband and my kids laugh out loud so much in a while. It was music to my ears! There’s nothing like the sound of your family’s laughter to fill your heart.

We had such a blast! I will tell you one thing the Harlem Globetrotters did not disappoint. Both my kids were excited to go so I was really hoping they’d have a good time and they certainly did.

From the antics to the great basketball to the dancing in your seats, fun, fun, fun!

That’s one of the things I loved the most about the Pushing the Limits World Tour, you weren’t just sitting there watching them play a game. You really felt like part of the show. Even my kiddo who is typically very reserved took part in “the wave” and clapping along.

And the fact, that at the end of the game, all the players signed autographs for every one who wanted one and that was a lot of people. But they did it and smiling all the while even after a long game. My kids got to get autographs, my daughter was excited to talk to Big Easy Loften who she had watched on one of her favorite Disney Channel shows and on The Amazing Race.

I don’t typically do selfies but even I got a chance to snap a selfie with him. How could I pass up the chance? Poor guy though, I am a bit on the short side.

If you get the chance to go to a Harlem Globetrotters show I highly recommend it. Who couldn’t use a good laugh these days?

Cleaning House (so to speak)

February 3, 2020 By: Nanette

You’re a good wife and mom. You keep your house clean right? No one especially me expects spotless but clean, up to date and organized is what I aim for. Don’t you?

Sure we all want organization and what better time than at the beginning of a new year. I know, I know, it’s already February! Where did January go? But for the sake of this article let’s just go with the flow here and call it the beginning of a new year, let’s not get technical okay? Thanks!

My Geeky Guy

My husband is a computer geek. Love him but he drives me nuts with all the geek stuff sometimes. And he calls me a geek. He’s really big on keeping his computer organized. I get it, but mine, it’s just one more thing for me to keep track of as an always busy mom. But when he showed me how old some of the files on my computer were, I promised to go through them and get rid of the old stuff I no longer needed.

Oh What You Find When You Clean House

I found documents on my computer almost as old as my kids. Okay, I can not let it get that out of hand again. Seriously, documents almost 20 years old? What was I thinking? Did I really get that busy that I didn’t ever clean out these old files?

I’m a pretty organized person or so I thought. All my business documents and files etc. were good. It’s just all the little extra stuff like notes, videos I had forgotten about, duplicate photos that I wasn’t so good at organizing or disposing of when I either didn’t need the document anymore or it was a duplicate.

I Blame This on Blogging

As a blogger, I found lots of duplicate photos that I had cropped or manipulated to use on my blog always intending to go back and delete the cropped version and I just didn’t. I found old articles and programs I used to use. I found old zip files of blog themes I used a decade ago! I just couldn’t believe how much junk was there.

That really adds up to a lot of wasted space on my computer system.

I admit it, it’s not really blogging’s fault, but it’s so much easier to blame it on blogging than to take the blame myself.

Sat Down and Cleaned Up

It took a couple of days and a lot of hours but I did it! I cleaned out my computer system. Now, I’m not going to say I’m done. I have photos I need to organize but at least they aren’t duplicates and I got rid of a lot of random junk. Don’t even ask me why I had some of it. Don’t tell my husband this, but I feel so much better now that it’s done and I’m going to work on keeping it this way. Once I’m done with something off it goes to its proper home on my computer and not just shoved into the My Documents folder.

My “My Documents” folder had become my junk drawer. You know the one you shove stuff in cause you just either don’t know where to put it or you just need to put it somewhere quick.

Do you dare look through your computer files to see what you have shoved somewhere just to get it off your desktop intending to get back to it?
