Since I left my job in 2018 and became a stay-at-home mom, it’s been a long process of developing mindfulness in regard to my spending. When I was employed outside the home, I made a good salary and I often bought things without really thinking about whether or not I needed them. In fact, I often bought things knowing full well that they were wants instead of needs. I was still putting money ...
I’m doing a No-Spending January Challenge
As I begin to build this blog back up, you'll notice that I write a lot about minimalism, cutting down and bringing less stuff into my home. Part of that is because we just have way too much stuff, but also because I want my home to feel more peaceful, and I want my children to be grateful for the things they have.

I'm sitting in a new coffee shop right now, trying to think of what to write. How do I sum up my life lately, in the past five months since I last posted?

I found it really hard to be on Facebook and Twitter from about the middle of ...
Where I’m going, where I’ve been
If you’ve hung around the mom-blogging world long enough now, I bet you’ve heard an endless amount of advice to limit or even eliminate screen time for children, especially the wee ones ages two and under. Well, I’m here to tell you that Uncle YouTube saves my life on the regular. Today, for example, I was battling yet another bout of tonsillitis, and so my husband went to church without me and ...
Baby Update: Lil’ Ziggy is (over) one year old!
So... I'm a few months late with this post. I've had it in the works for a while, but as I explained in my last post, sometimes things just get in the way. But I like to think that the blogging world runs on its own timeline. So lets pretend, for a moment, that Lil' Ziggy really JUST turned one. This really was the craziest, most different, difficult, trying, confusing year of my life. And yet, ...
