Three days after my birthday, the day before Thanksgiving…… That above statement is one I’ve made so many times over the years.

I’ve always been a coupon clipping and deal seeking kind of a girl. Partly out of necessity, but also because that’s just who I am. More than ever before I have to get really creative and resourceful when it comes to Christmas and shopping for my kids this year. They are both teenagers so we are […]
Pushing forward

Yesterday was a tough day. We waited for an important phone call nearly the entire day. I was nervous about the call because regardless of the outcome I knew it would mean huge challenges and possible major adjustments for us as a family.

November 14, 2011 · by · 2 Comments
I was doing well with the challenge of NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month).

I wish we didn’t need to bother with daylight savings
November 7, 2011 · by · 6 Comments
Daylight savings is great……….when you first wake up in the morning, but at around four o’clock in the afternoon when it starts to get dark and I feel like I need a triple espresso, I’m pretty much done with it. Shut up! Before daylight savings I usually felt like I only needed a double espresso at that time of […]
