Happy Mother's Day

This will be another fun holiday to celebrate, in quarantine.
Luckily, things are starting to loosen up around our area so we are able to spend quality time with some of the family that we normally celebrate with,

I was gifted a beautiful cart that we have had for close to 10 years sitting in our backyard.  My husband refurnished and repurposed it into a garden area for me so that I can enjoy my plants, without rabbits eating them, and without having to bend over to weed them and take care of them.  I also get the bonus of it having wheels, so when it decides that it is going to snow in the middle of May, I can just wheel it into the garage!



This afternoon B decided to decorate the side of it with chalk, telling me how much she loves me, and that I am the best Mommy. 

I planted tomatoes, mint, rosemary, kale and cucumbers.  Let's see how much of a green thumb I actually have!

I was also given some lavender plants, as I have fell in love with lavender over the last couple of years.  So much so, that on the way back from Wisconsin Dells last year we had to make a pit stop at a lavender farm, that was way past it's growing season, but had an adorable gift shop at it.  I purchased lavender pepper that I LOVE to put on anything that I grill.  Hamburgers, chicken breast, steak, vegetables, seriously - anything on the grill.  
I was so excited about my lavender bushes, but had nowhere to put them, so my dad made me an adorable planter for the new front porch!

8 Weeks Later....

I just realized that I fell off the face of the blog world 8 weeks ago!   I was finally starting to get back on track with organizing, cleaning, and work when I just forgot how to manage my time! Over the last weeks I have made so many memories, enjoyed so much time with family and friends, and traveled to Denver, Cub Lake, Cedar Point, and back home again!  I have celebrated my 4th Wedding Anniversary to the man of my dreams as well as my grandma's 80th Birthday!  I have welcomed a great nephew (Jerry) , an amazing 2nd cousin (Brock), and a beautiful little friend (Sirena) into the world!  And last, but not least, I have decided that I am perfectly at peace with my life, no matter what comes my way. Now that July is finally behind us and August is starting anew, so are my new hopes, dreams, and goals!  I will share them as they become closer to reality, and I have a plan of action on how to handle everything. For this month I am hoping to stop in at least once a day to upda

Where is this Going...

As you can see from previous posts... this blog is about nothing, and everything, all wrapped up into one website.   This started as a place to discuss the actions that my husband and I were taking to r educe our spending,  pay off debt, and try to retire at an early age.  At this time we had 3 cats, and a mountain of debt; home, cars, timeshare, student loans, and lots and lots of credit cards. Since then we have become parents to an amazing little girl, that deserves the world, and knows it.  She wants it all...and she wants it NOW!  (and yes, we listen to lots of Queen songs, I mean, who doesn't!??) We have been lucky enough to have steady jobs, and lots of opportunities over the years to work sides jobs for some additional income.  We followed Dave Ramsey for inspiration by listening to his radio show, reading the books, and listening to podcasts.  With all of this information we were able to pay off all of our debt, including our home, and live the life that we have dre
