Work/Life Balance

I am a co-sleeping, breastfeeding, baby wearing, homeschooling mommy who works 80 hours/week. I am tired!

New Budget Set-up

This has been a CRAZY year. We had our 2nd baby boy

Hudson aka Will's little brother!

last July 13th and bought a new house in April 2014. We did not sell our condo; instead we decided to keep it as an investment property. That is by far the biggest risk I've taken with money, and I have found that I'm pretty risk averse. Luckily it rented out very quickly so we are not having to carry two mortgages for any length of time. Praise God!

Back on the budget!

Have you ever been on a diet and messed up 1 meal and instead of letting that mess up your whole day/week/month/etc... you just decided to pick yourself right back up and get immediately back on track?

Yes... well good for you.  I have not.

Retirement!!!!

Alright, as I get closer to closer to the big 3.0. (OMG!) I realize now more then ever it is time to buckle down on retirement savings. 

Condo Updates

We have been so busy lately fixing up our condo.  We haven't decided yet if we're fixing it up to try and sell right away, or just to make it pretty for us, but either way, it is getting done!

Building a Wardrobe on a budget

Have you ever looked in your closet packed  full of clothes but still didn't have anything to wear?  That is where I am right now.

True or False?

1)  Shopping sales = Smart shopping

FALSE! 


How many times have you gone into Target to get "just this 1 thing" and walked out with a basket full of stuff because it was on sale?  If you're like me, then the answer is too dang many.
