Budgeting…. Budgeting has been something I’ve struggled with for several years. I went from making no money to making about $500 a month in high school and college to working full-time making minimum wage to making (to me) a somewhat decent wage but still not that much. One of my goals in 2013 is to […]
7 Quick Takes {Volume 58}
— 1 — Monday was my first day of school!! AHHH!! It still feels weird to say that. When I graduated college in 2008 I told myself I was NEVER going back to school (and I lied to myself that time as I’ve taken random classes of stuff before now). I was burnt out and […]

2012 in 12ish Photos : A Link-Up
Okay I wanted to be like all the cool-kids and write a 2012 post but wasn’t sure where to start. So I saw people posting these 12 photos for 2012 (one photo for each month) I thought maybe I could handle this. And I promise to try and not overload you with too many Disney […]
7 Quick Takes {Volume 57}
— 1 — Thank you to everyone that participated in the #AdventPhotoADay challenge. I think it was really successful and everyone that participated seemed to have a great time. My intentions were to pick one winner a week but right after the contest started we got Bed Bugs and I had limited internet access/I wasn’t using my […]
What I Wore On Christmas….Eve {to Mass}
This year we went to the 4pm Mass because my Mom got scheduled to be a Eucharistic Minister and then we were chosen to bring up the gifts. Here are some photos of my sister and I outside the Church before we went inside to find seats (my Mom went in ahead to sign-in for […]
Christmas Decor Link-UP
I’m late to the party but that is how we roll. It’s been a CRAZY December and the 1 year we had 90% of our Christmas Decorations up the first week of December we almost had to take them ALL DOWN for pest control. Thankfully we were able to keep a lot of it intact. […]
7 Quick Takes {Volume 56}

Holiday Recipes with Winn-Dixie’s Help!
I can’t believe the Christmas is right around the corner! It seems like just yesterday it was the summer. This doesn’t bother me because I LOVE Christmas! I count the days until Hallmark starts airing Christmas movies and the radio starts playing Christmas music. I especially like when we do all our baking for the […]
7 Quick Takes {Volume 55}
— 1 — Thanks to Practicing Catholic for mentioning my #AdventPhotoADay contest! I felt like a famous blogger when I was tagged on her blog 🙂 I know the contest wasn’t an original idea as I see photo contests all the time so it’s cool that there are variations of it going around 🙂 I’m a really […]
#AdventPhotoADay Week 1
Here is the post you can link all of the photos for Week 1. Week 1 will consist of Days 1-8 (it seemed silly to have Saturday 12/1 to have it’s own post so I am including it in Week 1). You don’t have to use the link-up to participate. This is just for people […]
7 Quick Takes {Volume 54}

7 Quick Takes {Volume 53}
