Back in November 2017, something great happened. I finally tied the knot after over 5 years of living with Brandon. We’ve planned to marry for years and never got around to doing it. I have a complicated history with an abusive ex-husband and really wasn’t in any hurry to remarry. My ex-husband wanting to sign […]
Fighting the Stigma of Poverty
I recently finished “More Than Just Making It: Hope for the Heart of the Financially Frustrated” by Erin Odom of The Humbled Homemaker. Before delving into my thoughts about the book I want to mention that if you pre-order it before the release date of September 5, 2017, you are eligible for some amazing goodies. […]
How Did I Get Here?

Short post today but I wanted to share with you a neat little trick I’ve just learned. You might already know this trick but I just learned it. I feel kind of silly for not realizing this sooner. I had a couple old iPods and iPhones that I thought were pretty useless, given their generation […]
Making Life More Complicated By Simplifying
Sometimes, try to simplify actually makes your life even more complicated. Example: at the beginning of the year, I decided to drastically limit my spending except on what was truly necessary. So, I unsubscribed from a lot of blogs and went through my Feedly subscriptions and deleted a bunch. My reasoning was that if I […]
How To Start Freezer Cooking
I love freezer cooking! If you don’t know what it is, it is when you prepare meals to stock your freezer with for later use. Some people spend a whole day making meals for the whole month. Other people make extra lasagnas and casseroles when they can. There is no right or wrong way to […]
