My Happiness Project

As I sit here reading "The Happiness Project," I am so overwhelmed by just how much I needed this book.

Have any of you read this book?! What did you think of it?
Posted by Allison Valree Federico on Tuesday, November 1, 2016

When I sat down to begin reading, I heard the kids playing upstairs...and I was worried about it....

"What is my son getting into now?" (It's always, always always something!)

"Are they going to get hurt?"

"What if a neighbor stops by and realizes that I'm letting my kids play without helicoptering them? What will she think?"

But the truth of the matter is, she is almost 5 and he is 2, and really they can play alone for 10 minutes while I read, and (as long as they don't burn the house down), most messes will be cleanable....

But the point is, I started out with the wrong mindset to begin!

Just 5 minutes into my reading, I already see that! My kids are LAUGHING. And having FUN together. In our SAFE house. In our SAFE neighborhood.

I AM BLESSED BEYOND BELIEF.

And so often I fail to realize that.

So here's to working on my own "happiness project."

It's not about CHANGING my whole life to MAKE it better. It's about changing how I PERCEIVE my life, and being grateful.

How to make Easter cascarones!!

Have you ever heard of cascarones?!?! I hadn't before this year! But now that I have, I was so so excited to make them with (and for!) my kiddos! I mean what's more fun than running after each other with colored eggs in your hands that explode into confetti when they hit your "target"?!? We are hoping the target will be Daddy and not me! ;) So first of all, what are cascarones?!? The idea was first seen in Asia and later brought to Italy by Marco Polo. The eggs were often given as gifts and were filled with perfumed powder. The custom then traveled to Spain and was later brought to Mexico in the mid-1800s by Emperor Maximilian’s wife. It was in Mexico that the perfumed powder was replaced with confetti. In Mexico, these colored eggs are often thrown at fiestas during carnaval, just before lent. While you may see cascarones at the carnaval celebrations in the US, it is more common to see them around Easter. This is because, like many oth...

Reflections on Praying with Paul

While I have yet to make it past Chapter four in Praying with Paul (grace and peace, right?), I was challenged even before I finished the preface of the book. According to D. A. Carson, one of the major problems within the Western Church is prayerlessness. Ok, great. I pray daily. Clearly this doesn’t apply to me. T he two pitfalls within the Western Christian church are too much activity that doesn’t include prayer and praying without a basis in the scriptures . OK, maybe I do pray daily, but are my prayers as well thought out as they should be? Are they too simplistic? Do I focus too much on my own wants and needs? They aren’t always based in scriptures. I rarely sit down with the Bible and pray a passage…clearly, I have a lot to learn. The first action I took to try to improve my prayer life was beginning to create space. (I write the word beginning , because truthfully, I st...

Adulting & Parenting

I love the phrase "adulting." It basically means making grown up stuff happen and pretending like you truly know exactly what's going on, when really, you are just making it up as you go. I basically began my adult life as a mom since we had our first baby at 22...so for me, parenting often felt exactly like "adulting" in my early years. Actually, I still feel like I'm just winging it quite often. The truth is though, now that we are getting to raising our fourth little one, I'm beginning to feel like I know what I'm doing...sometimes or well, at least more frequently than before. Over the last decade, my mindset on parenting has changed from "how do I do this correctly?" to "what needs to be done to raise them well." I've found that taking the mindset off of me and my performance and moving it to them completely changes what I do and how I handle most situations. For example, my just turned two year old loves trying ...
