Here I am- 2 weeks into my health journey- progress is slow, y’all. I’ve been an instant gratification kinda gal when it comes to weight loss in the past. I cut the calories super slow, lose weight super fast and then proceed to gain it back. I’ve stuck to ‘my plan’ all week. What does … [Read more…]
Well, I have pretty much spent the last year of my life eating whatever I wanted. There were small periods of time where I cut back and lost a few times, but that was the extent of it- no lasting change. And you know how the holiday season is- countless cookies and deserts at work … [Read more…]
So… we’ve been plugging along on our Dave Ramsey journey. Credit Card #1 is paid in full and we are well on our way to eradicating Credit Card #2. #2 was used to finance our new roof, so it’s a bit of a doozy. So, you could argue whether we are ‘gazelle intense’ or not. … [Read more…]

This post is written more as a need to vent to people who understand my position, as opposed to one that is preaching to anyone. … [Read more…]
It’s been a tough couple of weeks. Financially, or budgetly- speaking, I guess. No more credit cards and that should be easy(good-bye, my beloved Disney card). Actually, the not spending any additional money has been incredibly easy. The getting every little single thing (aka, all the bills) onto paper budgeting- not so easy. I’ve just … [Read more…]
Well, I warned you. I told you I’d be talking about Dave Ramsey and here I am, talking about Dave Ramsey. And I might as well- if you’re following what I’m writing then I might as well explain myself so if you don’t know what I’m talking about then we can at least be on … [Read more…]
I love daisies. We saw a lot of different flowers and foliage on our afternoon walk. We’ve been wanting to check out the Sunrise Carriage Trail for a while now as a couple people have suggested it. After an online search I learned that this trail was constructed in ” 1905 by former Governor William … [Read more…]
As fun thing for our family to do together we decided to join the ‘painting rocks movement’. We thought it would be fun to paint rocks and leave them in places for others to find. And since we are a traveling family we thought it would be a lot of fun to leave … [Read more…]
