Summer 2017

Happy Tuesday Lovies!!!

                As I sit here and type, I'm waiting for my youngest to get off her bus and it's officially SUMMER 2017 Ya'll! Time to breathe!! I look forward to this every year. For me, it's a time of reflection. The school year is so hectic for us. So summer vacation gives me two months to evaluate what worked, what didn't and what changes we can make to make things easier.

              Everything costs money! You always hear "Money can't buy happiness.." Umm in order to exisit, you need money, unfortunately. The trick is to make it doing something that's not killing you. We started a family because we wanted the family life. Constantly pushing them away because we don't have time and need to work, is NOT what we meant... There are ways to do this!!

              One of my goals this summer, is to share what we're doing to save and have time to play with our kids. My oldest is on her way into her senior year of high school and I've got this little panic going on in my belly! I want to snugle and kiss that face as much as I can before she leaves for college. It's been important to me, their whole lives to show them that we want them around as much aspossible, as well as wanting them to spread their wings. I've always wanted them to fly.. never wanted them to be waiting to RUN.. lol! I couldn't wait to RUN!

               So, this summer... lots of affordable play, smart spending, saving and most important, FAMILY FUN! Hope you follow along!




  Happy Summer Vacation!
