When I was in my early twenties I set a goal for myself that I wanted to buy a house before I turned 30. Growing up I lived most of my childhood in an apartment that my mom rented and always wanted to live in a house like some of my friends and family. Back then, I didn’t realize the costs of buying a house, let alone maintaining one. I just remember always wishing my mom had enough money to move us into a house. …
The last year or so I have been having fun creating all sorts of recipes for this blog as well as my cooking blog to impress my family as well as my readers. Baking all these sweet treats has provided me with some great content for my blogs, but definitely added a few pounds 🙂 that I am on a mission to lose.
Towards the end of last month I joined the gym. This isn’t the first time I have had a gym membership and after a couple weeks of going almost every day, I am still motivated to go. For me I tend to get bored of things easily. What I do is go in the morning before I get a chance to do anything else.
In the past 2 weeks I have lost 8 pounds and it has not been easy. I have been watching my calories and of course getting about 1 hour of exercise in about 5 times a week. Today I didn’t get on the scale but I don’t want to get discouraged if I didn’t lose anything from the last time I weighed myself. Right now I am okay with losing inches too!
I only have 13 more pounds to go until I reach my goal. I will keep you posted.  🙂
I have always liked making different crafts. I actually have a TON of different craft related stuff at my house to use when I get free time or in the mood to make something. My kids have always liked doing crafts with mom too!
For those of you that have been having rainy days and the kids are inside looking for things to do, making crafts with your kids is a good way to keep them entertained! The options are endless with crafts, you just have to find something you really like to do. My favorite types of crafts are holiday wreaths, soaps, bead making and painting.
If you don’t have craft supplies, there is a neat craft store online you might want to take a peek at. The FactoryDirectCraft website has different kids craft kits that you might want to keep on hand for when you need something fun to do with the kids. In addition, they have a TON of different crafts that will keep you busy. I mentioned that I liked making soaps, I also LOVE making candles. This website has candlemaking supplies, scrapbooking goodies, doll making supplies, ribbons and so much more!
Crafts can also make great gifts! I have made and received all sorts of crafty gifts from my friends and family throughout the years and sometimes they are the best gifts ever.
What type of crafts do you like to do?
I have been thinking of the future a lot lately. I love to write, but am I going to be blogging 20+ years from now. I am definitely not getting any younger, so as the days go by quickly, I am thinking of what steps I need to do today to help me later down the road.
I have my own “online business“, but owning a brick and mortar type of business has also been something I have always wanted since I was a child. With having a family of 6, starting some sort of family business sounds like something I really would like to do. I would love to be able to own a business that everyone in my family can be involved with.
Since exercise is a way to my body in shape. I re-joined my gym last month and have been trying to go at least an hour each day. Each time I leave that gym after getting some sort of workout, I feel good about myself which gives me motivation to keep coming back. …
It seems as if we just celebrated Christmas and now the Easter season is already upon us. Although Easter usually doesn’t involve the same level of financial outlay, it nevertheless comes at a time when many of us are still reeling from too much Christmas spending. …
