2017

Well to start off this year has been a heck of a lot of struggle to say the least. Job changes, and home changes, and a lot of difficulty, but we have managed to make it through.  Life isn't supposed to be easy they say, well they were right.  Lance changed jobs late summer, and its been really hard, very hard actually and it put a big hole in finances, so we have cut back on a lot including cable and what we spend our money on....athough we still go out to eat wayyyy too much. I dont know how to get him to understand how much we could save if he would just eat at home. I love to cook even if I'm not the best cook in the world, I still love to cook.  I have to say my cooking is getting better each day.  I use cookbooks and I am absolutely addicted to The Pioneer Woman and watch her religously!! Yes she is my all time go to!!! Ive been reusing old containers and totes for lots of storage, and also sewing up shirts that don't fit right or are too long. It's been a lot of fun. I love researching how to live the frugal life. I use Pinterest A LOT!  I have joined a frugal family club on Facebook and have learned how to reuse food, and what and how to freeze...the list is endless.
As to say for today...we are in a new home and i love it!  It's small and cozy and warm. Ive never been anywhere where I felt warm, actually HOME! I love making my home smell of food and warm fragrances in my tart warmer (thanks to my loving husband) and i never want to go anywhere....yep I've become a homebody and I am not ging to complain about it one bit.  I dont have the perfect life or the richest, but I love my life and all the caos that goes with it!!
