So, lately I haven’t been able to cross as many items off my “goals” list weekly as I would like. This bothers me…..a lot. Am I setting goals that are unrealistic? OR are my goals not matching up with my priorities? This week I sat down with a printed list of my 2013 Yearly Goals […]

I don’t know about you but one of my “comfort” foods is a big pot of pinto beans and some rice to go along with it! This recipe combines so of my absolute favorite flavors into one pot of food that’s super simple, super quick, and super cheap to make! The only element in this […]

I realize that being able to homeschool is something that not everyone is able to do, and for some it’s not something they would even consider. Every family is different and has different needs. But for our family, homeschool is one of the biggest things that keeps us connected to one another. Today was the […]

Since we will be starting back to school this week I’ve kept my “Weekly Goals” list pretty short and not too terribly complicated. I imagine it’s going to take us a couple of weeks (at least) to get back into the swing of things, so I’m keeping it simple. The picture above is also one […]

Wow. That’s really the only word I can think of to describe this past week. And not because we were busy….although we definitely were…but because this week brought with it a myriad of emotions ranging from pure glee to absolute rage.

For a frugal minded shopper, visiting a warehouse to do your everyday shopping is both exhilarating and terrifying at the same time. There are so many ways to save money when buying items in bulk. But there are so many ways to completely blow your monthly budget on the unexpected purchases. While doing some research […]

As I sit here typing, I can barely believe that it’s the first day of August already. That can mean many different things to different people. To teachers and parents alike, the beginning of August signals a very near return to school. To children, it warns of a summer that is 2/3 over. To us […]

If you’re a parent shopping for back to school, you’ve probably found yourself trying to make backpack decisions. Do you buy the cheaper backpack available at Walmart or one of the drugstores, or do you “splurge” on a nice backpack and buy one that actually has a chance at lasting through the year? Well, I […]

This week is going to be a busy one for us, so I’m still up in the air when it comes to shopping. There are some deals that I’d really like to take advantage of……but nothing that I’ll be devastated about missing if need be. Our youngest daughter has been gone for the past 6 […]
