So I am on a mission to start creating educational / fun / inspiring / and exciting busy bags for Greyson. We have a hard time getting out of the house for a specific reason, for an extended period of time. Grey gets bored, and antsy…so these are my hope in once again going out to dinner. Or making a full round of Disc golf!
More Updates!
So I finally got around to snapping the photos, of the wall hangings in our entryway. Remember how plain and boring the wall looked, after I stripped off all the wallpaper, and then repainted? Yeah, very sad… Well I took a look around our storage room and garage and found some pieces that I was not completely in love with, but they were free, and
Financial Re-Focus
I am very happy with how our family is doing financially. I have been diligent in keeping our/my spending down, and minimizing house projects. (Which are always 3x the amount I planned on them being). Updates: 1) Scott was accepted into RIT’s Masters in Business program. He starts September 3rd. Therefore, as of September 3rd our family just accrued 50,000 more of debt. YIKES. Thankfully
Quick Safety Tip
So while I was perusing Pinterest I came across this picture: *The photo was directly uploaded by the user….Anyway I saw it and I decided that this was a pin I needed to do, right away. If (God Forbid) we were ever in an accident and unable to tell emergency help important information about Greyson…. well I cannot even think about all of it. So
Dining Room – Phase Two
So the last time I left off I was cursing because of my dining room. I have completed phase two a while ago, but I am just getting around to posting about it.I removed all of the wallpaper, filled the groves of the paneling, primed and then painted the walls. I also refinished the dresser (turned dining room hutch), and the dining room chairs. We

We’ve been working on: Landscaping Dining room makeover Dining room furniture refinishing Getting quotes from some contractors for a living room overhaul Trying to keep up with everything,
Recipe Organization
Sorry, I was not around last week. I have what feels like a million posts to write, and edit photos for, but my husband had to borrow the camera for work the past few days. BUT I can give a short update on my recipe organizing. I created a template to organize all of my recipes. I am going to use a similar system as
The Great Garage Cleanout Challenge – Part 2
I have been working my tail off trying to purge and sort through all the boxes and bins in my garage, this past week. I was not able to get through it all before this post today, but hopefully with the upcoming weekend, my husbands muscles and some beautiful weather we will be able to get it completely sorted. THEN comes the really fun
Frugal Update
So I have been trying to be a lot more self conscious about the money I spend waste at the grocery store. Remember what it was a few months ago? Nearly 1,200 buckaroos on Groceries for 27 days!!! Well I just looked at mint.com to see where we were for the month of March, and compared to February I am going to say it
I finally did it!
So, since August of last year I have been an independent distributor for Shaklee. It is pretty much owning your own business, just without all of the insane start up costs!! I sat pretty still until now (Nearly a year later), and did not put in much if any effort. I was so scared of failing, and looking unable, that I decided it was easier
