Nothing Worse
You know what stinks? When you’re having a rough day and you need to put your foot down, but don’t have a voice. Like a literal voice, not a figurative voice. I had an issue with a big insurance company not too long ago and I had this “guy” on the other end of the […]Categories: Life At Home
Your Typical Day {A Day In The Life Post}
Not even a year ago I shared what my day was like. Man! Things have sure changed in such a quick time frame. I knew having our Baby Boy would ramp up our lives, but there is so much more going on these days. I’m working hard to study for the Certified Financial Planner exam […]Categories: CareerLife At Home
Surviving Motherhood
Let’s get real here. Motherhood is hard. No matter how many kids you have, or if you work full time, part-time, work from home or stay at home. It’s hard. Being a Mom kicks you in the butt every single day. I mean it. Surviving motherhood may be a misleading title, because I’m pretty no […]Categories: Baby
How Hard Is It To Tell The Truth?
I mean seriously, how hard is it to tell the truth. Really? Because in my opinion, it’s not. Sure, you may be scared and worried about the consequences. But wouldn’t you rather have a clear conscious? I know I would. I remember when I was in the second grade I cheated on a spelling test. […]Categories: Tips
Baby’s First Valentine’s Day and 10 Months Old
Can you believe it’s baby’s first Valentine’s Day? I can’t believe he’s getting so old! Our little boy celebrated his first Valentine’s Day yesterday. We didn’t do much. But I wanted to do something special to remember the holiday. Last week I talked about creating this printable Valentine’s for him to hand out at school, which was great. […]Categories: Baby

Egg Roll in a Bowl {recipe}
If I had to pick one type of food to eat every day for the rest of my life it would be Chinese. Hands down. No questions asked. No take-backs. I love Chinese food. J knows that he can always get me to vary from our meal plan if he offers to pick up Chinese […]Categories: Recipe

Check in on our Focus on Finances Month
Alright, we’re about half-way through February and I thought it was time to check in. At the beginning of the month I declared it to be February’s Focus on Finances. I still love that alliteration! How are we doing? It’s hard isn’t it? I’m not going to lie I set a pretty hefty goal of […]Categories: Budget

Mess Free Painting For Your Baby
When our little man was sick not too long ago we spent a lot of quality time together. By the second day we were both going crazy from boredom. He was so use to be at his sitter’s house with other little kids and I was use to not being with him 24 hours a […]Tags: mess free painting
Sleep Training Your Baby
I hate that title. It sounds like I’m teaching our kid to do tricks. Next I’m going to tell him “good boy” for sitting on command. Ugh! But that’s what we’re working on… sleep training. Because God knows he needs his sleep and God also knows that his parents need their sleep too. Baby Boy […]Categories: Baby
