Gym Clothes on a Budget

I LOVE leggings. Like if they were my 3rd child I would love them and cherish them and start a college fund to preserve them forever. I am #dramatic, do not even say you don’t know what you got into with me as your sister friend…you know. It is all good. You know that I…

Hey Mama, I Promise We are on the Same Team Even if it Doesn’t Feel Like it.

I have a serious question and I need some clarity on it all…can we talk? I still struggle with making sense of this. So, I became a Mom 9 years ago to our sweet boy named Carter and 2 years later our Caylee came into the world. At the time I was working in TV…

Budget Friendly Make Up for the WIN

For some of my new friends here, you may not know this but I was a TV news anchor in Phoenix, Arizona for nearly 15 years. I started at the bottom…literally worked in a small closet turned TV studio and reported traffic for the top rated morning show here in Phoenix. Guess how much sister…

30 Favorite Budget Friendly Must Haves

You know I don’t love the ‘B’ word…shhhh…don’t say it. You know ahem…budget.😬😬 But I have been living on a cash flow plan, a cooler way to say ‘budget’ without saying it. Basically, since 2011, when we went totally BROKE, we have created a plan for our money and stuck to it every month since…

I hate this but it has taught me this…

Time flies when you’re having fun…isn’t that what they say?! But really…why is it as we get older there is a sense we are attached to a time machine and catapulted to the future??? And then all of a sudden we feel Marty McFly in Back to the Future – except we don’t have that…

Growing Pains SUCK.

“Something will grow from all that you are going through and it will be you.” -Toby Mac I love this quote because I believe this 100 percent. I look back at my life this far and every hardship, tragedy or hard to deal with moment has grown me like the wildflowers grow in the spring…

Ridin’ shotgun on the Struggle Bus.

I still ride shotgun on the struggle bus when it comes to caring about what others think. There. I said it. If you are truthful and honest, you likely still combat that too, right? Have I made big strides of not giving one flying color what other people think? Absolutely. But when I don’t practice…
