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
Grungy, Gross, Grimy Garage
I am going to start right off with my excuses, today. Our house has a huge garage. It is two bays wide, and each bay is two cars deep. So it can hold four cars. When we moved in on January 5th, it was a nice day; considering it was January in Upstate NY… Meaning we were not in the middle of a blizzard. But,
Weekly Goals
I have decided to start a goal tracker…right here on this blog. Hopefully, it will keep me motivated and accountable. So, even though it is Tuesday and I hope to post this every Monday…I am going to give myself a break since it is my first one. ; ) For this week I hope to accomplish (Above and beyond my normal “duties”): Clean out and
Being a Stay-At-Home-Mom
I have to admit, I never EVER thought I would be a stay-at-home-mom. I always new I wanted to have children, but I also wanted a booming career. I wanted my future husband and I to be a “Power Couple” When Scott and I first started dating, I remember telling him that I had no intentions what so ever to stay at home with my
Greyson has a new room!
Greyson’s room was in a desperate need of a makeover. When we bought the house his room was staged as what we believe to be a “hunting room”. There were real deer heads on the wall, complete with a hunting / wildlife themed wallpaper and border. It was hideous!! No, space for a little boy to sleep and play in. So last Friday, I decided
We Went to Phoenix!
So about two weeks ago Scott, Greyson and myself boarded a plane and headed to the warmth, desert, and scorpion filled state of Arizona. Phoenix Arizona to be exact. Scott had some work to do out there, so we extended the trip and had a mini family vacation. Prior to having Greyson I had the memory of an elephant. now? well it is more like
Pantry Makeover
Yesterday, was awesome! Before I get to that I want to take a quick detour and tell you a story about me growing up, and that might help explain why yesterday was SO DARN GOOD. When I was in JR and High School, if we got good grades (B or higher) my grandparents would give us money. (My siblings and cousins). And they would
Hallway Progress
I have to keep telling myself that “Every little bit counts” The upstairs hallway is not even close to where I hope it ends up. But it has come a long way from the day we moved in! Remember what it looked like? No? well here you go: Yep complete with dark, dingy wallpaper and even some cobwebs! delightful. And this is what it looks
Removing Wallpaper
For the past few nap-times I have been busy removing wallpaper from our upstairs stairway and hallway. The previous owners had what I consider a moment of insanity and decided to put this terrible blue, with HUGE flower wallpaper…everywhere upstairs! It is awful. It burnt our eyes every time we went upstairs. This is the view from the top of the stairway looking down into the living room:
