Ok, so we are moving along on our journey to Financial Freedom with Dave Ramsey and our Financial Peace University classes. This week we were challenged to write down all of our income and "spend" every penny of it on paper. We need to use our monthly cash flow chart to know where we want all of our income to go. There are set categories such as saving, giving, household items, clothing etc. … [Read more...] about 1 + 1 = Zero

change is a happening…
I remember once reading that synchronicity is God saying "don't give up". I love that thought. I also love finding synchronicity in my life. Last night we took our first step to financial freedom. As I mentioned in my last blog, we are enrolled in a Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University at my church.

Time for change!
Wow, I just realized the pun in my title of this blog... Change is a coming...for sure! Tonight Robert and I started our 91 day journey to financial peace.

So how do … [Read more...] about New Year Rituals

And there they were! 5 awesome ladies taking their first tennis lesson! I was so inspired! I couldn't wait to run home and write this blog.

Beating the summer blahs…
I'm tired. It's hot. I'm bored. There's nothing to do... Ahhhh, the sounds of mid-summer. Does this sound at all familiar? I love my kids and I love summer break, but every now and then, I don't like the combo of the two. Ha ha. Kidding of course! Here we are mid July and things are starting to get a little redundant. I decided it was time to get out of our own way and go do … [Read more...] about Beating the summer blahs…
