Disclaimer: I know that I call this “career” blogging. I am no where near a career level at this point nor do I intend to be. Blogging for me is a hobby, but I do want to create a successful blog, one where my mother isn’t the only reader (but thank’s for being here, mom ) I am writing this post exactly one week after I started my blog. I don’t...

I slipped. I messed up. I didn’t make it all the way through the month. Although, I do have a perfectly good excuse. So, here is what happened. I needed to go to the store to get a few things. I wanted to go by myself (because seriously, the grocery store is the only peace I get some days), so I helped my husband lay our kids down for a nap before going to town....
Another Monday of our March Money Challenge, which means I have a guest post for you guys all about how one family saves money. Like I’ve said before, I love learning how other people manage their money. There are so many different tips and tricks, and not everything works for everyone. This post is written by Jessie of www.thenilaughed.com. She is super funny, but...
I made this tutorial specially for some fellow LDSers that are preparing to go on a trek this summer. For those of you that don’t know, what we Mormons call a “trek” is a reenactment of the early Mormon pioneers. They came across the country with wagons. Some of them were lucky enough to have wagons that were pulled by oxen, but there were many who...
So there is a lot of talk about google reader shutting down. Luckily, this doesn’t affect me much because my blog is so new. But, I had to figure out a new way for people to follow my blog, so I’ve decided to use bloglovin. If you haven’t heard of it before, you should check it out. It’s free, you can set it up through your facebook account if you...
Once again, I am so glad that I started this challenge. My husband found a “reduction of force” card in his pay check yesterday. Basically it means that he was laid off. The production on the building he is working on is at a stand still because of some parts that are back ordered, so they have no work to do, sooooo they laid some people off. Thankfully,...
I just finished my first ever quilt. It is a gift for my sister in law, who is expecting a baby any day now. I found this pattern here from Curly Top Quilts. It was designed by Curly Top Quilts and the pattern is for sale on her etsy shop for just $3. Check out her blog here. The pattern was simple and easy to read and I think it was a perfect first quilt. The pattern...
In honor of Easter, I thought I would make this neat little recipe. I had it once before when the Sunday School teacher at my old church brought them in for an Easter lesson. They taste sort of like cinnamon rolls, but they have a twist that makes them perfect for an Easter dinner: they are hollow on the inside, just like Christ’s tomb was on Easter morning. Neat,...
I thought this shake would be a good one for this month, seeing how it’s March and St. Patrick’s Day is coming up. It was delicious and festive and fun. And yummy.
