Last year I chose FREEDOM as my word for 2020. Yes, let’s all collectively laugh or cry at the same time as 2020 was the year of lockdowns and restrictions. While maybe it didn’t feel like a year of freedom with lockdowns and weirdness with the rona, God had a lesson for me. Freedom doesn’t […]
2020 Word of the Year
Happy almost end of January! I always look forward to January and February as it is usually a slower time of the year where I can focus on my word for the year, read some books, journal, dig into my bible and just hunker down, refuel and rest. My word for 2019 was Light. In […]
2019 Word of the Year
Happy New Year Friends! I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Christmas season. It always seems to go by so quickly. We enjoyed almost two weeks off and it was so good for our family. I actually didn’t do much which is weird for me but again, I think it was just what I needed […]
My Word for The Year
Happy New Year friends! I can’t believe it’s only been 5 days since New Years, feels like it was weeks ago. December was such a weird month for us this year that I don’t feel like we even had Christmas. We spent Christmas in Texas this year on the beach with some dear friends. A […]
It’s time for the 3rd Annual No Spend February!
Have I ever told you that I hate the color red? It’s probably my least favorite color. Anyways, after that random introduction let’s move on. February is fast approaching and that means it’s time for a NO SPEND month. This time we will be using all the money we save to pay for our […]

Life Lately – Flourishing!
Hey friends, I thought I’d post a little update on here, probably more for me than you honestly as I love going back and reading my random posts about life from a few years ago. For a bit I tried to have a personal blog and this blog as well but it just wasn’t working out. […]
No Spend February The End Results
Well friends, tomorrow is the end of NO Spend February and let’s just say, we are not going to finish strong. I’ve already been to the store no less than 3 times this week. Seriously. Kids and food are going to be the death of me or the budget, maybe both? I think our […]
No Spend February Week 2
Half way done with the No Spend Month and unfortunately it seems this NO Spend month has turned into just trying not to spend too much. While painting this week, I had to run and grab lunch a few times because being gluten free and working in a flip house, I didn’t have access to […]
No Spend February Week 1
Well, we made it through week one of NO Spend February. So far, we’ve done ok. I think lunches for the kids are what’s going to kill my budget a bit this month. On Sunday we went to the grocery store and purchased some skinny pop, granola bars and stuff for sandwiches. Most of my […]
