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…
San Antonio Day Trip // 05.25.15
Okay, so it’s been what? A year since my last entry? So many things have changed since then. SO many. I met and married my husband Derek and moved to Austin, Texas. Yep, I went from a small California town where everyone knows everyone (and their brother) and you really can’t go anywhere without running…
Sacramento Trip
This post contains affiliate links I was lucky enough to travel to Sacramento, on Wednesday for my 2nd business trip. There’s nothing like waking up and leaving for work before Starbucks is open. I wasn’t as nervous to fly this time around as I have been reading Trusting God by Jerry Bridges which has been…

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….
My Week in Pictures September 30, 2013 – October 6, 2013
This abandoned property is simply lovely. I sure will miss these views when I move out of the plex. How fun is this? Why yes, I do take random pictures in the grocery store. I listed to this message from the Redemption Church podcast and was very encouraged! Thursday I went out to Yard House…
My Week in Pictures
I take my lunch breaks in my car and was working on some home work when I noticed the light and shadows here.So pretty! I’ve been drinking loose leaf tea and realized that I don’t have to strain the tea in a bowl and then pour it into my cup. I can just use the silver…
