I knew if I let Titan choose the restaurant for lunch he would select Panda Express…again! 🙂 So I choose Guadalahonkey’s for lunch (I LOVE and crave their smothered bean burrito) and then Titan selected The Living Planet Aquarium for our activity. He had heard they had moved into a new location and wanted to check it out.

The last time I had visited aquarium was about 10 years ago when they were brand new to the Utah valley and located downtown in Gateway in a teeny tiny end part of the mall!

And curl up and relax with “Savory Suggestions, Snippets, and Stories,” a collection of laugh-out-loud anecdotes including “How the Real Halloween Fright Happened the Next Day,” “Thankful for Warbling,” and “Let Go of the Cookie-Cutter Christmas.”

One of my favorite quotes from the book is, Consider how much holiday stress you’ll eliminate by focusing on those who matter most and not on how someone might perceive you or your item, event, or decor.” – Connie E. Sokol 

I love that this book is all about deciding what feeling and focus you want your holiday season to have and then planning accordingly, eliminating and saying no to things that do not match up with that focus. Connie reminds all of us that our focus shouldn’t be on having a “Cookie Cutter Christmas” and “keeping up with the Jones’s” but about spending quality time with those that matter the most to us.

If you find yourself not looking forward to the holiday season and already exhausted just thinking about your To Do list for the rest of the year, then this book is definitely for you! It will help create a game plan for the next two months that you actually look forward to rather than dreading! 🙂
