Wow, okay first off, how is it Friday?! I feel like this week flew even though it did kick my behind! Not only do I feel like baby is sitting lower, but insomnia and general lethargic behavior have set in. Hitting 36 weeks pregnant, I think baby will arrive any week now, and that’s where some anxiety is starting to creep in!

It’s hump day, and if you are looking for a light, yet flavorful burger to throw on the grill, this recipe is for you! My family loves these burgers – they are so fresh, light and inexpensive to make! I generally have these on the menu around the time I decide to stock up on a major ground turkey sale at our local grocery store. I am able to get 2 – 1lb packs of ground turkey for $2.50, I mean what—that is just a steal! So needless to say I like to take advantage of that sale and have the meat available for these or even as a ground beef substitute in recipes.

Good morning everyone – happy Monday! Ugh it is mornings like this that get me ready for Fall but also make me hate that the fact that this summer is flying and almost over! I have been so tempted to purchase new Fall clothing, but have been trying to hard to stop myself from going crazy! Anyone else have advice on how to have will power?!
So this weekend was an absolute crazy one – I really am already terrible at documenting things and it totally spiraled probably due to the fact that I was trying to keep it together because my husband was out of town from Thursday morning to Sunday night! What is humorous is that I stay at home with the kids EVERY DAY, so why was this any different?! In all seriousness, I think baby #3 is ready to come sooner than we think and my body just wanted me to sit!

Happy Friday everyone, I hope you all had an amazing week! I feel like everyone is freaking out about back to school already—how can this be?! I would totally feel the same way if my kiddos were older—I am even getting sad thinking about my daughter being gone for half the day only three days a week!
Continue readingHappy Wednesday, hump day and last day in July everyone! Before I jump in and share some random tidbits about myself, I wanted to share that today is the day my husband and I are getting our cash envelope ready for our August food/eating out budget envelope! I don’t know why I am so excited, but I think the challenge is bringing out my competitive spirit and I just want to see how well we can do on truly slicing this food spend in half! You can read about how we track our expenses here, and why we decided to challenge ourselves this month.

Happy Monday everyone! One of the main purposes of why I wanted to start this blog was to also selfishly force myself to “journal” things going on with my family. I am also the absolute WORST picture taker of all time, so hopefully this will force me to stop and document moments because the kiddos are not going to get any younger 🙁
What we thought would start as a relaxing weekend, turned into another crazy one again! Also, how is it the last week of July…? This summer is moving crazy fast, but I don’t even want to think about that! We have a lot of fun and exciting things happening ahead and for our month of August!
Happy Friday everyone! Today I am sharing a recent challenge that my husband and I are going to try out for the month of August. We like to check in mid month and see how we are doing budget wise, see what areas we can improve and also continue to mark down our 2020 goals.

First off, I’m back! As I mentioned in my first blog post – I will try to post 3-4 days a week – it will most likely turn into 3 days a week when baby arrives.
…WHEN BABY ARRIVES, oh.my.gosh…that is approaching so fast which leads to my next post I wanted to share with you all:
Okay, so I actually can’t even believe the arrival of our third baby is going to be here before we know it! Those “First Kid, Second Kid” commercials by Luvs are totally relatable and get me every time! While I haven’t brought out the essential items needed around the house when baby comes home just yet, I was thinking I should at the very least get my bag ready to roll for the hospital—which is why today I am sharing with you what I packed my hospital bag!

Today, we jump right in to a recent project my husband and I have been working on at our house! If you consider yourself a diy gardener, here is a post for you – by no means am I a gardening expert, but I would like to think I know a little more than the average person.

Hi everyone, I’m Lisa, a late twenty-something from the Midwest, a wife to my grade school sweetheart, mom of two toddlers (ages 4 and 2) and a soon to be newborn! I quit my marketing job after the birth of my son nearly two years ago which has allowed me to see both sides of the coin of being in the professional workplace and now being at home with my kids. Neither are easy, but both are rewarding and I want to share my love of what I do as a stay at home Mom, how-to’s in terms of tips, tricks and insights in the realms of faith, family and home life, budgeting, food and recreating expensive looks for less.
