A real mom sharing real expereinces!
In our home mornings are crazy! An average morning consists of my sweet husband getting up really early and getting ready and having breakfast alone. He leaves the light on for me but I sleep for about 30 more minutes. Moms need every moment we can get right? When I wake up he has long gone. I start my coffee, wake up the kids, bathe one kid (she will on bathe in the morning), dress the kids, … [Read more...]
The other day I was chatting with my mother in law about this year. We were discussing God's provision and timing this year. This year has been full of ups and downs. I said it had been a year of "faith testers." She said "or doubt busters." I love that! Yes it was BOTH! Here is a short recap: We updated the kitchen to get ready to sell it. We moved with the plan of reaching financial … [Read more...]
Are you as excited as we are about the release of The Amazing Spider-man on DVD November 9? I hope you remember a few weeks back I introduced you to Vudu.com. I told you how you could use Vudu.com to see The Amazing Spider-man before it is released on DVD. This was my first time using Vudu and Pre-Purchasing a movie from Wal-Mart so I was really anxious to see how it would go. I entered … [Read more...]
The leaves are turning colors, the geese are flying south, and there is a briskness in the air that can only mean fall has arrived. There are lots of things to do during the fall, but, if you are like millions of other Americans, your wallet is empty or close to it. The "back to school" season is always a costly one, and if you're self-employed, you just paid your quarterly estimated taxes. Here … [Read more...]

As always I had to come up with a cheap family night idea. So I decided we would have an Avengers Adventure this week! I am sure you have heard of The Avengers either through the Marvel comics or Super … [Read more...]
This weekend I had the pleasure of putting together a birthday party for my brother and my sister in law. They are amazing people and deserved an awesome party. Something beyond party pats and streamers. With money tight and time and energy even tighter I had to come up with something new and extraordinary. And I did...well I think it was awesome! I had to share this with you. This ice cream … [Read more...]
1. Get there early! This is #1 because it was the biggest tip I have for you! Arrive at the park about 45 minutes before it opens. They will start taking tickets and passes about 20 minutes before the park opens so you have time to walk to Aquatica and put on sunscreen before they open. Best of all we were at the front of the lines and that meant very little waiting! Not only do you get in early … [Read more...]

The fourth of July was no different. I had a special request this year for RIBS!

A few months ago a family moved in near us. On our block all the kids play with each other before and after school.This little boy immediately had targets. He was so mean! He even bullied ME! As an adult I didn't take any of that! But the other kids would end up in tears. They were scared of him. He took their things, hit, insulted and was just mean! He would come to my home and insult me and my … [Read more...]
