I am loving your quotes lately. Honestly it is like you are reading my mind.

I am loving this also! Gives me inspiration for my day and helps me out…I hope you keep it up.

Fabulous quote!

Janet July 14, 2011 at 11:04 am

Thank you for the quote!!

I have successfully spent my entire morning looking through your blog (again :) ) and I wish I could get your series in e-book format to print and read again and again. I could spend days just catching up on all the series you have written and advice you have given.

Thank you for doing what you do!!!!

Crystal July 14, 2011 at 11:10 am

Thanks so much for your kind encouragement!

I do have my time management series in an ebook form (it’s free!):

And I hope to do more such ebooks sometime in the near future!

Thank you!! I was looking for it because I saw it referenced somewhere. I’m making myself a makeshift book of your posts by just printing your web pages. I would never use it for evil :) …just for my own personal use (you know, highlighting, underlining, etc).

Kelly July 14, 2011 at 11:15 am

That is true (as I sit and ponder it lol).

Dani July 14, 2011 at 11:28 am

Lovin’ the quotes. I’m posting them on my Facebook page and giving you the credit of course :)

Sounds like a quote to remember when I’m craving sweets at the end of the day.

Jennifer July 14, 2011 at 2:21 pm

Something to think about when I’m trying to balance housework and playing with my kids. What I want at the moment is for this mess to go away. But it will just be messy again in a matter of hours. What I want most is to watch my kids learn and play and grow and develop, and to soak up as much as possible out of their preschool years.

you need to have a “like” button after each blog post. lol. Seriously though, several of them I want to “like” and then others I just skip over. It’s be cool to know the audience of each post.

Crystal July 14, 2011 at 3:00 pm

You can click on the Share button at the top of the post, if you’d like (you can also see how many people have clicked it). The Like button from Facebook is currently not working, so I took it off.

This is soooooo true! Loving all the inspiration lately!

Carole July 15, 2011 at 1:23 pm

I’m a little surprised by the name at the end of the quote in the photo. Maybe she’s not intending to take credit for it, or maybe she’s indicating it’s her paraphrase of the original quote, but it was Zig Ziglar who actually said, “The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want right now.”

Laura July 16, 2011 at 4:48 am

I needed to hear that tonight as I start to officially stress over my new school year coming up. I’m going to college and I would love to save money on daycare/preschool , but I would much rather finish faster, so that means more money on preschool. This post makes me realize that I will have to spend a few more bucks, but it will be an investment.
Thanks.
