So I have made a commitment to get my finances in order. I have some personal and family goals that I want to accomplish, but man let me tell you.... this is so much harder than I anticipated. I mean to keep track of everything that I spend is SO tedious. I know I know, it's what grown ups do. The song does say 'Mama said they'll be days like this". This thing called Adulting is so overrated. I mean is it really that serious? I can admit that I have learned so much about myself and my money. We have an emotional relationship. I did not think that it would be so hard to break away from frivolous spending. I did not think that it would be so hard to go without my card and only use cash. I don't even remember when I became addicted to my card. Maybe it's more like an emotional affair. I'm in love with spending and swiping my card and I need my card in my life. I'm trying to get it together. On the plus side, I do recognize I have a problem. I am NaT...

So in 2017, I decided to change my thinking....I figured it would change my life and guess what, it has! I am on a journey to get my life right real quick and get it right good. So in order to do that, I've decided to work on my finances. Well I actually have a process of getting a lot of things together, but I can only focus on one area at a time. I tried doing multiple areas at once and that was an epic fail!But hey, we live and learn right... so my first journey is my finances! I will use this as a Financial Portfolio and see how this will work out for me.  My first step was to join the Dream Builder: Liver Richer Academy (I will explain this one later) and a financial course through Coursera, both in which I am paying for. I figured if I'm paying for it, I will be motivated to complete the courses. Can't afford to waste any money! Anywho, to explain Dream Builders: Liver Richer, I have to give you a bio on the founder....Imma just copy and paste that info.....

My oldest son playing with Photo Booth on my Mac Book So today is Saturday and like all Saturdays, my day starts at the crack of dawn with two little people acting as though the world is going to end because they are "dying from hunger" as my 8 year old says. So I get up as usual and cook breakfast for my little people. This time it was french toast, turkey bacon and eggs. We have turkey bacon and eggs for every breakfast because my husband caught a deal and bought out the whole store. So I try to be creative with this unending supply of poultry. This time my creativity only led me to french toast, but hey everyone was happy so that's all that matters. After breakfast, we start our Saturday cleaning. My 8 year old came up with this "clever" idea to get paid to do his chores...."where they do that at"??? When I was a kid, the only payment we got was not getting popped in the mouth for saying which chore we didn't want to do. After that la...

If your household is anything like mine, busy with small children, then you can understand that there are times when you do not feel like making those four course meals your family love (ok, I never made a four course meal, but you know what I mean). The crockpot has been a huge timesaver in our home. My family is able to get a wholesome meal and I am not on my feet for hours trying to prepare something for them. I am also a working mom, so having the crockpot is one of the best things money can buy! Here is one of my recipes for families on the go. This is my Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches recipe. For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients: 1 lb of sliced chicken breast 2 tbl spoons of seasoning salt 1 tbl spoon of pepper 2 tbl spoons of minced onions 1 garlic clove 1 tbl spoon of parsley flakes 1 bottle of BBQ Sauce 1 cup of water 1 bag of hamburger buns I will be honest and say that I really do not use meas...

I am so excited to announce that I am a Freelance Writer!!! Well Besides my personal and inspirational blogs, I am a published writer on a website called logospost.com! I am too geeked..whoop whoop! It's crazy how life has a way of bringing things into perspective. I quit a stressful job. Quitting that job was the best decision I've made. The money was awesome, but it was not worth the stress that came with it. Since quitting my job, I started back with my writing. I am not doing this to get rich, I am doing it because I enjoy it. I was told that if you do what you love, you will never have to work a day in your life. I am not sure where this adventure will take me, but I am so looking forward to this ride!

So we all know that Saturday should be the day of solace. It's the day we all unwind from our hectic week. We use this day to relax to sleep in....oh the thoughts of sleeping, what a wonderful peace it is to have a comfortable restful sleep. Waking up at 11am or later in the morning and have time to myself before getting my day started. Now as a mother, my Saturdays consist of 6am wake ups, (it should be a sin to wake up early on a Saturday) early morning cartoons and breakfast demands. This morning my little guys woke me up with the demands of hunger. Because my sleep has left me for the day, I get up and prepare the ritual Saturday morning breakfast. This morning consisted of Turkey Bacon, Scrambled Eggs and Homemade Fruit Smoothie. I try to create simple but healthy breakfasts that we can eat together as a family. The hubby and the boys enjoyed this one and I can say it was quite tasty. Mom has done it again and saved the day and I can now go back to my peaceful life of ...
