Don't get me wrong I absolutely love my luscious long locks, but let's face it, my hair spends most of its time in a bun! I have to put it up before bed, I wear it up at work and on weekends, it also spends most of its time in a disarrayed ponytail on the back of my head! Long hair is a beautiful thing but it takes way too much time, effort and energy to maintain! Who has time for all that non-sense? I need as many things as possible to be easy, simple and virtually effortless, that way I have more time for the things that matter most! Like enjoying my littles! 1. Beat the Heat! It’s going to be a hot one! Might as well go ahead and break in a “cool” new do. It will keep you stylish and easy-breezy in the sweltering heat! Especially if you’re in Florida, like me! Eek! It gets soo hot here. Plus, you’ll even look good coming out of the pool, no need to deal with all that long tangled wet mess, with your new short bob! 2. Money Saver! Less hair means, le...

People who know me and my family, probably do not know that my husband suffers from depression and anxiety, he has for years. About 8 years ago his mom was taken from this earth, a few weeks before our wedding date. What was supposed to be one of the happiest weeks of our lives ended up being a very devastating time, that would change all of our lives forever. No matter how much you hope, wish or pray- to have, just one last moment with them, you can't. No matter how much your heart hurts, no matter the countless tears and sleepless nights, you just can't have them back. Life is so very precious and so, so short. Dealing with depression is hard. It is a tremendous weight on the family but an unimaginable weight on the poor soul that has to carry it. Depression is no stranger to me, long before I met my husband. My mother is also of a victim of this disease. It's an ugly disease, makes, not even seeing your own child smile-good enough to cheer your heart. It's a h...

*this post does contain affiliate links, please visit disclosure page for more information* As I was packing my son's lunch for school one day, I noticed a little pink rectangle on the bottom of the Ziploc box, it said "Box Tops for Education". I've always kind of known about the program, but never really, completely understood how it worked or the importance of doing it. So, I did a little research, your welcome! What is Box Tops for Education? Box Tops for Education is an awesome program sponsored by hundreds of companies that offer a simple convenient way for families to help earn money for local schools! A typical box top is worth 10 cents to your school of choice. Schools can turn these box tops in for cash, to buy things the school needs; like new computers, playground equipment, books, anything! From time to time, you can even find bonus box tops that can be worth more than 10 cents! It's such a easy, simple way to help contribute to our schoo...

What are my goals for 2018? Goals, what is a goal? It can be short term or long term. A descriptive or general sentence about what you plan to accomplish within a given time frame, Goal. Another thing to remember about goals is that you need to lay out how you plan to achieve it! Having a goal is nice, but figuring out how you're going to achieve it, is even better! I know I am a little late to the party, this year, but better late than never, right? Besides, it's only March I have plenty of months left to accomplish ALL of my Goals! Wish me Luck! 1. Improve my financial status. I will be asking my current employer for a raise, it will probably be small, but always worth a shot. Can't hurt to ask, I feel like I do a great job! Work more part-time hours on my side job. I am helping a local tax company with a book of business accounts they just acquired. This has the potential to fetch me a decent amount of cash flow, if I can catch on quickly. Although I work in...
