I am having a huge issue with time management right now. I used to be so great at balancing getting stuff done around the house with fun things and other things. Now it seems like I spend all morning being lazy then have to fit an entire day's worth of things into the afternoon. I'm not sure why this is such a struggle for me now. I know part of it is the baby. I sit down to relax a little while she is napping. The next thing I know, she's awake and I'm still on the sofa. I need to find a … [Read more...]

Christmas Tip #2: Keep It Fun!!
I'm going to say something that might be controversial. But hey! When has that ever stopped me?Ready?Don't give underwear as a Christmas gift.Or socks. Or any normal clothing item. Or toothpaste or deodorant for that matter.Why you may ask?I feel like those items are things you are going to buy anyway. Those are necessities. No one is excited to open up a package of underwear on Christmas morning. I would much rather there be 1-2 nice gifts under the tree then 10-15 with most of those necessity … [Read more...]
Got Burned and Burned Out
I'm so burned out...and hurt. And angry.I can't go into all the details but it is really starting to bother me that something I love so much always seems to blow up in my face. College, now. Doesn't matter. It never seems to end well. And while I am not the cause nor do I even contribute to the issue, I always end up taking the hit.I know life isn't fair but dang it, it should be at least once in my life!The first time this happened, it was like a bad break-up after a long-term relationship. I … [Read more...]
Determination Is Normal
I've been struggling with how I want to write this so please bear with me.It's a pretty well known fact that we've been struggling financially all year but really badly the past month. Lumberjack season tends to create short pay weeks multiple weeks in a row towards the end. We're usually very used to it. Unfortunately, right in the middle of those, the truck broke and the car broke...and now the van isn't sounding wonderful. Not to mention I'm still using a borrowed laptop. It really hit me … [Read more...]
