Home Makeover Coming Up!
April 10, 2024I can’t believe it’s been a year since we packed up the last of our things and moved from New Mexico to Colorado. For the most part, the days go quickly. I have a house full of busy little ones five days a week and they do keep me hopping. I do manage to find time to fit in the occasional home makeover. As much as I love having a home daycare, I am pretty tired by the end of the day. I am fifty-three years old and I believe I’m starting to feel like it! My energy runs out…

I am hoping that Spring is here to stay. As I am writing this, we are supposed to have a high of 70 degrees. I’ll be enjoying some yardwork. I finally purchased and downloaded the new budget spreadsheet I mentioned…
How I’m Decorating my She-Shed on a Budget
Because our home is small, I’ve been craving a quiet little spot of my own. Years ago, when we lived in Colorado, I used the money I’d made doing craft fairs to have a little shed built in our back…

Hello again! Our savings on groceries and such haven’t been huge the last couple of weeks, but little bits of money saved do add up to bigger amounts, so I keep plugging along. I’ve been doing well using my strategy…
Savings and Goals Journal #46
I’m happily back to saving money this month. The last few months weren’t great as far as keeping money in our bank account. Part of it couldn’t be helped (everything broke at once!) and part of it was me not…
