I love me some coupons.  But it seems like the coupons coming in the Sunday paper like in the good ol’ days has passed.  Recently, I got started using a few online couponing apps.  It’s the same idea as clipping from the paper, just more high tech.  My favorite is Ibotta. I have been usingContinue reading “Couponing Apps: Ibotta”

This weekend, I was grumpy.  Husband was not home much.  Instead, he was busy helping kids at a local livestock jackpot.  And as I tried to keep our two kids (15 months and 2 months) alive and hour house standing and food cooked, it was fairly easy for me to get annoyed that he wasContinue reading “Marry the Good Guy”

In the midst of raising two babies, I was actually able to rack up a few bucket list checkmarks last year.  ✔️Go to The River Walk in San Antonio.  When I was a kid, every Christmas we would watch a recorded Lawrence Welk special on VHS that my Gran had.  It was shot at theContinue reading “2016 Bucket List ✔️”

I love New Years.  The chance to reflect on the last 365 days, start fresh, set goals…it’s the best. This year, I have decided to set 10 little goals for myself. {Initially, I was going to do 17, but I have two little people to keep alive, so let’s be real!}. I have other thingsContinue reading “10 in ’17”

Christmas came and went in a whirlwind. BB was old enough to understand the idea of opening presents, so watching him do that was a riot. We decided to just put up a tree this year and skip the rest of the decorations.  With two babies (way) under two, I just didn’t have the timeContinue reading “Christmas 2016”

Five years ago today, we lost my Uncle David.  This blog post turned into me giving my first eulogy.  Please say a little prayer for my Aunt Midge today. Time passes, but the pain of this day doesn’t get much easier. “To live in hearts you leave behind is not to die.” My Uncle DavidContinue reading “One of the Good Guys”

“He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree.” -Roy L.Smith May we store up the magic, joy, and promise of Christmas for the coming year.  Merry Christmas to you all!

It feels like essential oils are everywhere and for a long time, I have been interested but overwhelmed when it came to this topic.   There seem to be a million oils and  three million recipes to mix them. Some you put on neat (had to google that) and some need a carrier oil.  ThereContinue reading “Essential Oils…Getting Started”
