Oh my, holy goodness.

*I started writing this about 2 weeks ago, only to finally finish it now. 
We are living in a small house. The house belonged to my husband’s maternal grandmother, she passed away a few years back. The house is amazing, quaint, 1920’s, random add-ons over the years, we actually have a hard time telling [...]

Eliminating Debt

This year we are really tackling our debt.  Honestly we don’t have that much, especially in comparison to the national average, which is about $9900 in credit card debt, plus car payments and mortgages.  We have no where near $9900 in credit card debt, but if you add in our car loan we are just [...]

Tackle it Tuesday

My DH is gone again. We are newly self-employed, so we really can’t say no to really good and good paying sub-contracting work. Even if it is 2 hours away. So prayers for me again this week please
As a surprise to Nick I am going to clear off all of [...]

My fear and The Megas

About 6 years ago I had a huge, I mean huge fear. I feared one day I would loose my best-guy-friend to stardom. See at the time he was living in Southern California, going to school at Cal State, Long Beach, making movies, playing in bands and being beautiful. One night I [...]

My favorite gift.

The day after Christmas my best friend Kristy, her husband Greg and their two boys Luke and Peter came to stay with us.  The visit was a little crazy, good crazy, but how could it not have been, we had 10 people staying in our one and a half bedroom, one bathroom, 1000sq ft house.  [...]

A lot or a little?

My hubby is out of town working for the week.  So either I will hardly be blogging or I will be blogging a ton.  Either way, say a prayer for me and the kids and my hubby too.  Happy Week!

Happy Birthday Téadora!

Téadora you have forever changed our life.  You came into this world a tiny little girl, a few weeks earlier than we expected.  And each day since then we have thanked the Lord for bringing you to us.  We love you!
Two years ago, with 11 minutes to spare we arrived at the hospital. There was [...]

I don’t want to.

Part of my COMPACT agreement (to myself) was that I could still participate in my gymbucks redemption.  See in November and December I earned myself $75 in gymbucks at Gymboree.  I told myself that I would limit myself to using $25 or $50 worth and giveaway or sell the remaining gymbuck(s).  Well I had my [...]

He’d look so cute.

I think I might actually cry if I won this giveaway. 5 Minutes for Mom is giving away this amazingly cute pedal car.

I think Dillon would be absolutely stunning in it on his FIRST BIRTHDAY, which mind you is coming way to soon. He was just born yesterday, right?!
I had no idea that [...]

A sneak peak.

A few posts ago I made mention of trying to find items in my home/garage that could be put together to make a play kitchen for Téadora’s 2nd birthday (which by the way is on Thursday). Well her kitchen is almost finished. God truly blessed us through this adventure. It really came [...]
