6 Ways to Establish Optimism at Home
This is a special guest post from the Mormon Channel.
I am so excited to turn my blog over to the folks from the Mormon Channel today. I also have a link to how you can get a special gift from our family at the bottom of this post. Enjoy! :)
Your attitude not only affects yourself, it affects your family. So if you want your family to be healthier and happier, then your family needs to have an optimistic mindset. Optimism is more than an attitude, though. It’s how you look at and face challenges, failures, and other life obstacles. To have a more optimistic home, you have to show your family how to think and act positively every day and in every situation. And here are six ways you can do that.

A few weeks ago I was visiting See Vanessa Crafts. I shared these cute Hexagon Jack-O-Lanterns. Just in case you missed it over there, I wanted to share it here as well.

Cricut Maker vs. Silhouette Cameo 3
This post is brought to you by Cricut. Affiliate links are used for your convenience. All opinions are mine. :)
I also hope you’ve been following along with my Cricut Question Series. :) If not, you can find question 1 here & question 2 here & question 3 here & question 4 here & question 5 here & question 6 here & question 7 here & question 8 here & question 9 here & question 10 here & question 11 here. Whew! ha! Today we are going to tackle question #12. :)
Just a little history on my cutting machine obsession. Yes, it’s an obsession for me! haha! ;) I firmly believe with the right tools you can do & create anything! I’m not the most creative or the most crafty person, but with my Silhouette and most recently, with my Cricut, I have created & can create amazing things. Annnnnd I know you can, too! Deciding which machine to purchase is a huge decision. These machines aren’t cheap! It really depends on what you what to make. Do you want to cut mostly vinyl? Fabric? Or are you a paper crafter? Taking all of this into account will help you decide which machine you feel would fit your needs the best. Today I am going to share my completely honest opinions are two amazing machines the Silhouette Cameo 3 and the brand new, Cricut Maker. Yes, they are BOTH amazing with their own pros and cons.
As you might of guessed, our final question is: How is the Cricut different from other cutting machines?
