This week we’ve had a lot of rain and thunderstorms… it seems like April showers bring May showers around here (and flowers, too ). In the midst of storms, we cozied up with some movies and had a craving for soup. This quick and easy broccoli and cheese soup was born one afternoon this week [...]
This week for date night, try something new and fun! While that’s not very specific, let me unwrap further how incredibly awesome this date can be… I was recently listening to a Focus on the Family broadcast while driving home from work, and the speakers were talking about dates. One thing mentioned was that people [...]

My dear friend Bethi is the Disney Mommi, and she has a great giveaway going on right now– a super-cute SPIbelt! It’s a great accessory for on-the-go people (especially great for holding smaller things while you’re on a run or working out), and you can’t beat the price tag! As a Disney mommi, the great [...]

Sorry about the lack of Weekend Wednesday post this week– I’m working on something super special for next week! But I wanted to encourage you to be a part of Couponing for Community and Stamp Out Hunger this week! Just a reminder that this is the last 2 days for Couponing for Community Week ! Thousands of [...]
I’m tying an experiment this month… I’m going to try to dive into couponing again. I’m reading How To Shop For Free by Kathy Spencer, and I’m feeling inspired again. I’m always a little nervous that I’m going to end up buying things on sale that I didn’t really need and wasting money or that [...]

We’re in kinda a funny place in life. Things about to change for us, but we’re not quite there yet. David just finished school for good (yay!!! SOOOO proud of my hard-working hubby!), and that means looking for a job… and most likely moving to wherever said job is located. We’re also in the market [...]
This was a really popular thing at the Christian college that I attended. I always sounded a little weird to me. When you go on a date with God, do you order for the Creator of the universe? Do you think He’d want to split dessert? What you do you talk about? What does it [...]

Loving your new budget but would you also love some more tips to help you reach your goals? Us, too! Have you considered finding a mentor? There’s so much encouragement (and advice) that can come from having a mentor. Do you already know someone who’s done what you want to do with your finances? Consider [...]

Are you like David? Are you always early for things and consider that being on time is really late? Or are you more like me… 2-3 minutes “fashionably late” for everything? After yet another late-for-church-Sunday and getting-heartburn-while-driving-to-work-because-I-got-stuck-at-one-redlight-and-now-I’m-late week, I’m turning over a new leaf. I’m going to make it fashionable to be on time! So, [...]
