Rest, romance and relaxation – this is typically what comes to mind when we hear the word honeymoon. For my husband and I however, it was a different story. Our wedding was AWESOME! We had the best time celebrating our marriage with our closest family and friends by our sides. We were super stoked to be going…

8 Ways to Save Big at OldNavy.com
This post contains affiliate links For Christmas this year, my husband and I were SPOILED with gift cards and money from our families! We are SO grateful, humbled and blessed! A few years ago, I would’ve immediately created a list of things I wanted but didn’t need and would have spent the money right away. Let’s just…
All About Ebates
That’s the question I’ve been asking myself when it comes to purchasing items for our home. I recently discovered the beauty of Ebates. I’m bummed to think that I’ve gone years knowing about Ebates but never having signed up. That all changed when I began reading the book Money Making Mom and learned about residual…
So This Is Christmas
I have to be honest, this Christmas is the hardest for me so far, probably because it’s at the conclusion of my hardest year so far. It’s the first Christmas I’ve spent away from my family. As much as I LOVE Christmas, I’ve been both anticipating it this year and dreading it hoping it will…
Cyber Monday Baby Finds
For those of you who know me, you know that I’ve never participated in Black Friday and never will. It’s the principle. There’s nothing SO important that I can’t wait to purchase it at a less busy time or simply buy it online on Cyber Monday. The week of Thanksgiving, my husband and I were fortunate enough…

Sacramento Trip

I wasn’t as nervous to fly this time around as I have been reading Trusting God by Jerry Bridges which has been…
Morning Stroll Through the Secret Garden
April 18, 2014 Do y’all remember this story from childhood? I felt like I was there when I went running/walking this morning. I have today and Monday off of work and have packed the weekend full of plans with loved ones and while it should be a time to rest and relax I woke up…
My Week in Pictures // Spring Break Edition
My roommate Court and I decided to be “spontaneous” and went to Oceanside one night. Sunset surf I heart peeps! Court and I bought some flowers and decorated our porch. I definitely took advantage of the free Pantone paint samples at Lowe’s I am in love with these bulbs that are growing right outside my…
Baltimore Trip 2014
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here a few to highlight my first business trip to Baltimore (which was also my first trip to the East Coast. . . I don’t get out much) that occurred back in November. I went to Baltimore, Maryland for a conference and was so nervous about flying….
