Have You Ever Had a Pajama Day?

My 13 year old hopped in the car when I picked her up from school yesterday and said, "mama I think tomorrow we need to have a pajama day tomorrow". As busy as our lives get sometimes we forget to live life. We are rushing around to get children to functions, ourselves to meetings, taking care of others, and just about everything we can squeeze into all the other minutes.

I'm an avid Facebooker and it amazes me the how many statuses wish the week away and can't wait until the weekend. I've actually been that way myself before, but I am slowly realizing that I need to "stop and smell the roses" even during the week. While coming to this point I have to wonder what I can do to make it happen. Here are a few things I have thought of to slow down.

Always keep a calendar and write everything down. This way you can control what you do. Don't worry schedule free time in your calendar and that way if something spontaneous comes up you will be able to do a little shuffle and take off. When your children want to talk, stop and talk! Most things can wait a few minutes. Don't work too much! When you do get your work done for the day-leave and go home. Don't hang around when you are accomplishing nothing. Go home!!! We have started actually cooking together and eating meals at the table. In the past, we've eaten in shifts and lots of time in front of the television. After school, go get a ice cream before homework and talk to your children on the way. Ask questions about their day. Get involved in their lives. Another way to slow down is not to over commit yourself. Learn the word "no" and how to say it nicely! Remember if you do everything then you are taking a blessing from someone else, of being able to do that job. Slowing down requires a little planning ahead. Make a list for the grocery store and Wally World. Go by the list and don't buy anything else. This saves time and money.

These are just a few ways to slow down. Make time to do all you want to do. Make time for your family. Share yourself with others because it will bless you more than them.

So on this Saturday, Shelby and I are having a Pajama Day! Movies, Xbox, snacks, and time together are the important things today! You would be amazed at how wonderful it is! Go ahead, try it!!

Happy Slow Down!

Investment Property in Dothan

Rental property is huge in Dothan! Most people who own their own home may not realize just how big this market is. In the near future, with foreclosures on the rise this market is about to boom even bigger. There are houses for rent from $200-$2000 in Dothan. Some may ask who rents a house? The answer is very diverse. People rent for all sorts of reasons, some being, they don't have a high enough credit score to qualify to purchase a home, job will require them to live here only a short time, they don't want the total responsibility of home ownership, waiting for their new home to be built, they haven't found the house they want and have already sold their home, and they are new to the area and want to live here a while before they choose a neighborhood to live. As you can see the list is huge and diverse.

There are companies who will manage your properties and you will receive a check every month.

Did you know...

Did you know that Dothan, Alabama is ranked the 8th in the nation as a great place to live? We are living in a wonderful city that has so much to offer and most people have no clue. We have low taxes, great medical facilities, wonderful places to eat, sports for the entire family to be involved, world-class tennis, and so much more. Next time you start to think there is nothing to do, you can take a walk on the walking track at Westgate, go to the Botanical Gardens, visit Landmark Park, take a mural tour, go to the Wiregrass Museum of Art, take a class at the Cultural Arts, take a class at one of the recreation centers, go to Water World or pool, go out to eat, shop, take the Dothan 101 Class, volunteer at a charity, and many other options are out there.

So you see Dothan is the place to be! Go try something new this weekend!
