March is my birthday month so I have created a list of 31 things to do in this month that help ensure that I am focused on faith, family, health, fun, and finances! You should do the same thing, so if you see something on my list that you like, add it to yours, and […]
As soon as I logged on to FB this morning, the first post I read was one from one of my girlfriends stating how she was already epically failing at doing the day. My first thought was whoa, hold up! She’s the mother of two boys, a teacher, and a loving wife… how could she fail at […]
When I walked into my Target a couple of weeks ago, I was immediately distracted by their new display of Large Hobo handbags, like I needed another pocket book (that’s what I call them), but there was something about this one that beckoned me to it. I went over to touch the Springtime Pink one […]
I am sure that I have mentioned more than once here on the blog that I love slow cooking. It’s easy, and it helps me when I am in a crunch for time. Now that the baby is here, I know I’m going to be getting a lot more use out of my slow […]
