I'm Baaacckk! 2019 Goals

I know, I know. I took a several year hiatus. Life happened. But, I've thought about this blog and have been aching to write again, so here I am. I am back. In fact, I made regular blogging one of my 2019 goals (I don't like the word resolution).

While, I am just now writing my first blog post, I have been spending time doing other blog related things. I have been planning what I want to talk about on my blog and coming up with ways to promote my blog.

I am hoping this year brings big things and I want to share it with all of you.



My other New Years Goals (and therefor things I will be blogging about) are:

1. Be Healthier. Eat Better. Lose Weight. I have started the Keto Diet and am learning so much. I started out at 155 lbs and my goal weight is 120 lbs. I can't wait to share this journey with you.

2. Control my money. Budget. Plan. This is almost always a yearly goal for me. I will be trying to stick to a strict budget to save some money and also looking at ways to supplement my income.

3. Have more Experiences. Take Vacations. Do things. This goal really helps motivate me to accomplish goal number 2.

4. Bullet Journal. I find this to be therapeutic and it helps keep me organized and on track with my other goals. Win-Win.

I will of course still be talking about my daily life, parenting, marriage and life in the classroom.  I hope you will join me for all of my journeys this year. 2019 is going to be a good year!

I'm a WOH! Mom

I am a WOH! (Work Outside the Home) Mom. I don’t have a choice. My Husband and I both have to work to afford a 1200 sq. ft. house in a small town 45 minutes out of Nashville. We both have to work to afford two older vehicles (2002 and 2003). We both have to work to pay the electric bill, water bill and car insurance. We don’t have cable or satellite, we don’t have internet and we don’t spend money eating out. Most months we barely get by. If one of us decided to stay home and we got rid of one vehicle, we could only afford to pay $200.00 in rent. We would still make too much to qualify for any kind of state or federal assistance. So we both work. But, if I had the choice, I would still be a WOH! Mom. Don’t get me wrong, I would LOVE to not HAVE to work, but I would still work. I would still send my daughter to preschool five days a week. For me, Preschool is a God-send. The group of teachers at her preschool are brave. They let the one year olds finger paint!! Preschool has taught my d...

Another Frugal Friday

It has been a while since my last frugal Friday. We survived summer and found out just how much carpooling could save us! We used the saved money to take the kids to the Knoxville Zoo, Space and Air Museum and The Adventure Science Center. We actually bought a family pass for $90 to the Adventure Science Center so we can take the kids back during the fall, winter and spring. They change exhibits often and truthfully, their “Adventure Tower” is better than any indoor play ground I’ve seen, so it is a good investment in our world. I have also jumped on the “a deal a day” bandwagon. Most people have head about Groupon , where every day they have a deal for a local business. It is usually about 50% off, for food, drinks or service. It seems that *most* of their deals seem to be for food/drinks and salon services, but earlier this year they did have a family membership to the Adventure Science Center for $45 (and yes, I missed it.) Today’s deal is 3 Laser Hair-Removal Treatments for $...

Easter Bunny Interview

The night the Easter Bunny was to visit our house, Zachary asked me: “Don’t you think the Easter Bunny is with Santa Clause and has Santa give him a ride on Easter?” Well you know, I don’t know. I remember asking Santa how he made it to all those houses in one night. I don’t think I’ve ever asked the Easter Bunny….anything! Now that Easter has come and gone, the Easter Bunny agreed to answer some essential questions. Me: “Do you live at the North Pole with Santa? EB: “No No, it is much too cold there for a bunny. I live in a hole in the ground.” Me: “Is this hole in the ground on Easter Island?” EB: “The location of my home is classified. Santa can give out his location since it is hard to travel to the North Pole, and the weather is frightful. My home is actually much more accessible and the weather is pretty nice.” Me: “Are you and Santa friends?” EB: “Oh yes! I am friends with the Tooth Fairy too!” Me: “How do you get all the candy for Easter?” EB: “Well, I started out making all t...
