Hey, hey and happy Thursday! I was thinking about things I have recently altered in our lives and grocery shopping came to mind. I repeat this regularly, the best thing to come out of COVID time was grocery pick up. It is my jam. It saves me so much time and dare I say it, MONEY too.

Hi everyone and Happy Wednesday! Today’s post is part of my “What/how I’m _____ …Wednesday” series. I figured I would share something my husband and I are trying- hence, What I’m trying Wednesday!
Recently, given my sister-in-law’s glioblastoma diagnosis, our family has been more in tune with things we are putting in and on our bodies. We are constantly exposed to so many toxins it seems they are everywhere, that it is virtually impossible to avoid, but we are trying our best to control what we can control. One area that intrigued my husband and I was the thought of multi-day fasts to help our bodies on a deeper level.

Today, I’m sharing my skincare routine – I want to share – I am a VEERRRRRYYYYY basic person when it comes to skincare and am still learning all the things! I’ve been doing this skincare routine for the past 2-3ish years and have noticed some great changes to my skin.
The past winters, I’ve survived with smooth skin avoiding all the dryness winter has to offer – that was really my main goal starting out. Now, I’ve added in some retinol (not very concentrated at all – I will get there) and some vitamin E oil (which I love!).

This month’s topic is, how you work on your marriage. When I looked at the calendar to see what the post was – I mentioned it to him to get some input! After all, it takes two to tango!
Hey, hey, hey and happy Thursday! The kids had an ice day today and I’m off to try and knock out my to-do/chore list, while keeping them in line!
I celebrated my birthday this week and decided to blog about habits for some reason. I think after I’ve found my personal groove in my thirties and understand myself a little more every day. Sooooo….here we are, today, I’m going to share 10 bad habits I currently do, that I’m working on breaking in 2025.

Good morning and happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a great weekend! We’ve been enjoying the loooong “weekend” (the kids are still home from school due to extreme cold) and have been staying nice and cozy during the cold snap we’ve been having! Today, I decided to bring back my garden update post. Of course there is nothing “actively” growing in this frozen tundra, (besides my tulips) but it doesn’t mean I’m not doing anything to prepare for the upcoming season!

This month’s topic is, low level goals for 2025. These low level goals are actionable and a means to an end or towards achieving your high level goal – more day to day goals.
In case you missed it, I blogged about my 2025 goals here.

Tis’ the season! This past weekend, my husband and I sat down to do the annual exam of our household budget and savings plan for the year ahead. We thoroughly look at our budget and realistically examine potential expenses and find ways to cut/save money for the upcoming year.
The cost of living increase does make it difficult when it comes to trying to save and budget. We have a firm understanding of our budget and update an excel doc we’ve been using for years to see what has changed. One of things I cannot believe is how much our grocery and food spend has increased over the years. It’s slightly sickening!
Having a detailed awareness of your budget can allow you to prepare for future expenses (i.e. school, home projects, home maintenance issues, etc.), reconsider what items are truly important and remove things that waste money all while challenging yourself to become a better saver.
