2011 Savings Challenge, Uncategorized
It is that time of year again. The end of the year. Besides holiday fun it is also the time to think about my budget for the upcoming year and think about how we did this past year. How well did we do in 2011? Since I didn't get a chance to post about it.  My plan was simple. My plan in 2011 was to live within our means.   However, we had a lot of challenges this year. 1. First we were blessed with identical twin boys this year!  Our family grew from 3 to 5 in just a couple months.

Activities, DIY, Uncategorized
This year is my first year as a stay-at-home working Mom.  Since my daughter is a bit older and the twins are still infants I thought it would be best to make ornaments for the tree.
