There are many things in your life that affect or even change your mood. Your child’s laughter, the pile of bills on your counter, chocolate, and even the color of your walls. Yes, you read that right; the color of your walls can have an effect on your overall mood.

I love Zucchini Bread, but I had never heard of Zucchini Muffins till I came across Nancy’s Recipe on the NancyCreative blog. I won’t lie I was a little intimidated by some of the ingredients in the recipe (which can be found here on her site), but experimenting in baking is one of my favorite pastimes and I was very happy I gave these a try!

Nothing is better on a warm spring day than a light and refreshing beverage. The Apple and Cucumber Cooler by Cate of Girl Cooks World is a healthy and incredibly easy way to quench your thirst. Cate’s been kind enough to share the recipe for this delicious two ingredient wonder with the Daily Quirk. I can already hear your taste-buds thanking her!

I can’t imagine living the rest of my life without having a dog, or other animal for that matter. I don’t mean I’m one of those freaks who want to take possession of any and all exotic animals just because I can. Wildlife should stay right where it is, in the wild.

Pink lemonade is my absolute favorite beverage on earth. I don’t get it too often, because I try to keep my sugar intake down and when I do partake in the magical pink beverage I tend to go into a sugar frenzy like those tots on toddlers in tiaras when they down fifty pixie sticks. I am a bit of a cupcake fan as well (I once made my fellow blogger Jennifer go to a cupcake shop with me in a hurricane) so when I came across these Pink Lemonade Cupcakes by Audra from The Kurtz Corner I almost flipped my lid with excitement.

I want to believe there are people just like the characters and that I will bump into them at Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts one day and get to fulfill my fantasy life part of the book.

I became a fan of Bare Minerals as soon as I heard on the infomercial that you can fall asleep with it on your face and you will not break out. If there is a makeup that I don’t have to wash off every night, because I am too lazy to do it, and without having to worry about waking up to a cluster of pimples at 28 years old. I am all for it!

In the beginning for me, naps were completely a time to just sit and recharge my batteries. Adjust to motherhood. Get the dog out for his bathroom break, have lunch, pay bills, take a shower. Now, at a year and a half old and depending on the day, my daughter has decided naps are for babies. Who needs ‘em? Not this kid.
