Lauree thought she was being adorable while pranking her husband during the National Championship Football Game. She successfully weaponized The Bachelor! Do you think she's an adorable newlywed or is she the obnoxious ball and chain?

I was out and about earlier today and the strangest thing happened: People waved at me.

I know, on the surface this probably doesn't seem all that strange considering we live in Texas and have southern hospitality, but it's never happened in the time I lived here. And then BOOM twice in one day! I was trying to think about why people would be waving at me. I was on my way to the gym so I had no makeup on, hair was up looking a mess. But then it hit me: I was wearing my one and only Dallas Cowboys shirt. My producer Josh and I took a trip down memory lane to revisit my criticism of the Cowboys, but heck if this is the reaction I'm going to get on a regular basis, I may have to go out grab some more Cowboys gear!

Experts have recommended something to help us get through our daily To-Do Lists and I am surprised!

I don't know how you tackle that list, for me, it's the easy stuff first. I love getting the momentum going of crossing off those menial tasks. But the experts say this may actually be the wrong way of going about it and we may be hurting ourselves in the process. When I read the explanation, it made a lot of sense. The experts say when we're knocking out those easy tasks early, we're kind of shortcutting ourselves out of learning the process and seeing growth through that accomplishment. So the next time you've got that To-Do List that needs checking off, mix some tough stuff in with those easy tasks. You'll thank yourself later!

You might have some goals set for 2020 and maybe a gym is going to help you achieve those goals! But the idea of a gym can be super intimidating for some of you. Trust me, I get it! But I want to be able to offer a couple of tips on how to push past that nervousness and own the gym!

1) Have a Game Plan!
There's nothing worse than walking into a gym full of equipment with no idea of what your plan is. You feel out of sorts! This doesn't need to cost you a lot of money, maybe 5-10 of research online for resources will go a long way!
2) Try a Class.
You don't even have to have a game plan. that person at the front has already got you covered!

*Sub-Tip* Be early so you can get any spot you want!
3)Pump It Up with Some Workout Tunes!

We hear a lot about fake news and sometimes there are these headlines that aren't anywhere in media, but in our minds. Maybe one of those lies you've told yourself is "If I'm not happy, then God must not love me." Have you ever told yourself this?

Here's the thing: God does not promise us happiness. Nowhere in scripture does it talk about rainbows and sunshine happily ever after. But Paul does have something to say about rejoicing through our suffering because our suffering today can't even compare to the majesty that awaits us in our eternity with God. There is some beautiful truth behind that ugly lie.

By now, you must know I am a HUGE fan of anything Olympics related and you can only imagine how excited I am that the Olympics are coming this summer!

But there's some news that has me intrigued. The Olympic committee in Tokyo, Japan just revealed the beds that athletes will be sleeping on in Olympic Village will be made out of cardboard! Also, the mattresses will be made out of plastic for sustainability purposes after the Olympics wrap up. From an environmental standpoint, I can totally get behind this but is this the best thing for these world-class athletes? Would love to know your thoughts!

Splashed all over the news, the headlines read 'Meagan and Harry Stepping Away From Their Senior Royal Duties.' And if we can learn anything from their move, I believe they're setting some boundaries and stepping back to focus on a healthy family dynamic. Maybe you've experienced a stepping back of sorts in your own family to set some healthy boundaries, maybe with inlaws or relatives. What advice would you give Harry and Megan from your experience?

If you've got a big life transition coming up in 2020, hot tip: Don't cut your hair off and dye it. With any big life transition, those kinds of impulsive moves are always the wisest in that moment. I remember back to being a senior in high school and going from blonde hair to short black hair and I was absolutely mortified with my rash decision. So the question is how do we find clarity in the midst of life's big transitions? The answer: Seek Wisdom.

It was a little bit surprising to me the other day when I was making dinner and my husband comes in the kitchen and turned up his nose at the fact that I put onion in my mashed potatoes. To me, this is totally normal. My parents put onions in practically everything!

But it got me thinking: What weird food combination do you love and totally swear by?

Thank you to everyone who has been sending texts through the KCBI App and calling the station regarding a prayer request I shared with you 2 days ago. This was a request I brought to you on behalf of a friend of mine who had it put on her heart and her husband's heart to adopt again. After lots of prayers, they believed that the Lord was opening the door for an opportunity to do so. But due to some unforeseen circumstances, that opportunity was taken away.

Though it breaks my heart to give you an update that we were all praying against, I need to remind myself in circumstances like this of the fact that God is God. God is love and God still loves this young woman.

Again, thank you to each of you who have reached out and offered your prayers and I know you will continue praying for everyone in this situation.
