My Latest Great Buy

Check out my latest great buy!  I am definitely a girly girl who loves all accessories ~ shoes, purses, coats, scarves, and jewelry ~ but I love it even more when I only have to pay $6.49 to accessorize!  That’s right; I paid less than $7 for this purse on clearance at my local Target store.  I just couldn’t pass it up!  I love the color, and it has several compartments giving it lots of space for all of my stuff.  Now it’s...

A Snowy but Good Day

              It’s back…..snow, snow and more snow!   The above picture is what I woke up to ~ a beautiful winter mess!  Even though the sun was shining, the spring like weather of a week ago could not be found.  What does that silly groundhog know anyway?  Oh well, I have few complaints, because I didn’t have to drive in this morning’s mess.  Fridays are...

The Journey to a New Home

The journey began about two years ago when I got married.  Two years prior to our marriage Matt had purchased a foreclosed home with the intent of making profit, so I moved out of my cozy chick apartment and moved into his bachelor pad.  Basically, the house came with the husband.  My job was to turn the man cave he called home into a charming home that we both wanted to live in.  We soon agreed to sell the home, and the journey...

Cabin Sweet Cabin

Twenty-seven is a good number, because that is age of which I now am.  Yes, it’s true.  I am twenty-seven, and another year of my life has come and gone.  I had an especially good birthday this year, because I spent it with the one I love.  After a very stressful week (of which I’m sure I will share in a later blog) my husband and I packed up the car, left our worries behind and drove six hours to the mountains of Tennessee where...

A Birthday Getaway

Today is my birthday, and it has been a wonderful day!  My husband really went out of his way to make it special for me.  He took me away for a weekend to Gatlinburg, TN.  We rented a cozy cabin in the mountains, and the entire weekend has just been perfect.  We planned the trip months ago, but my husband has really gone out of his way to make this day special for me.   This is going to be a short blog, so I can get...

The Green, Green Grass

What’s that I see?  Could it be, could it be! Yes, it is!  I actually see green in my yard.  I can finally see the grass!  To some this may not be very exciting, but to me it is a sign ~ a sign of warmer days ahead.  I hope you are right Punxsutawney Phil, because here in central Indiana, the first snow was December 1.  Since I was on vacation the one week the snow melted in early January, I have been looking at a white...

Be My Frugal Valentine

My husband and I have always been cautious of our finances and how we spend the money God has blessed us with.  Even when we were both single, we were frugal when it came to spending.  That’s actually a quality that we both find really attractive in one another.  I wouldn’t say we are cheap, because we thoroughly enjoy the fine things of life.  However, we only enjoy those fine things when we know we can afford them.  Since...

My Very First Blog

                  Well after a year of talking about it, it’s finally here – my very first blog post.  I have seriously considered blogging for awhile now, but I have always put it on the back burner.  Today I woke up, and I told my husband today was the day ~ today was the day I was going to begin my life as a blogger.               Now, what to blog about?  As I venture into the world...
