Some tips and a recipe

So I was on my facebook account and in the newsfeed saw that there was a link to this website:
http://shine.yahoo.com/event/momentsofmotherhood/10-habits-of-happy-moms-2401511/
shine.yahoo.com.  never heard of it before so I clicked on it.  The following was this:
10 Habits of Happy Moms
Now, I am a happy mom, but thought, could I be happier?  The answer is yes.  Here are the 10 tips.  But, to get the explanation behind the tips, you need to go to the website and read it.  It actually makes a LOT of sense, but for your reading pleasure, here they are:

1. Find time for yourself
2. Don't make a happy baby, happier
3. Embrace the mess
4. Make time for your friends
5. Stop blowing yourself off
6. Get in the zone
7. Remember your dreams and goals
8. Be lighthearted
9. Bend the rules
10. Mind your own business

I have resolved that I am going to try to commit to this.  As i was reading the article, I noticed that I do and don't do almost all of these. #'s 1, 3 and 6 I don't do as often as I should.  Also #4.  But I am a work in progress and am trying to better myself.  That being disposing of negative in my life (negative that is repetitive and makes me feel bad) and replacing it with positive.  Trying to cook better food for us.  Not saying that I cooked badly before (because trust me, my waistline tells a different story), just not good for you food, unhealthy.  Speaking which, we have added fish to our diet 2 times a week and eating less red meat.  I think I've successfully eliminated High Fructose Corn Syrup for the most part from our diet.  So, off to a good start for the new year I think.  Yay!

Okay, on to the recipe that is in the title:

Marinated grilled fish
zest of 2 lemons
zest of 2 oranges
juice of both fruit
2 TBL brown sugar
1 1/2-2lbs of mahi mahi (tilapia or salmon can also be used)

combine first 4 ingredients in a shallow dish.  Put the fish in marinade and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.  (The longer you marinade it, the more flavor the fish will have.)  Grill until opaque.

Enjoy!
