Saving Time and Money Through Organization
I try to be the Queen of Multipurpose. With everything I have, I try to figure out different ways to use them, and my latest obsession is with over-the-door shoe holders. These gems are a space-saving organizing dream come true! The most obvious use is for the intended shoe storage. Of course I have one in my closet for my Texas-sized collection of flip-flops and sandals, but thinking outside
T.H.I.N.K. Before You Speak How many times have you opened your mouth, and the words that came spewing out were the absolute wrong thing to say? I’ll admit to doing this a time or two (million). Dealing with teens, it seems that this happens on both sides quite often. “Is that what you’re wearing to the movies? I thought you were wearing your new jeans.” I’ll ask, wanting to add
Inspiration can strike anywhere, and while at church this weekend, a Bible verse really resonated with me. It made me sit up and take note. My mind didn’t wander to the list of chores I needed to do or what to cook for dinner. I was laser focused on what these words could mean to me and how to make sure I implemented them into my daily routine. “Let us

I would raise my hand, but I wouldn’t be able to keep all of my balls in the air! Managing my family members’ schedules is a full-time job. Arranging carpool drop-offs and pick-ups for different schools and

Measure Twice, Cut Once, or Just TAPA Recently I spent some time volunteering with a dear friend. We were able to catch each other up on our lives and soon started talking about how people approach tasks and projects differently. Some people look to the finish line and just jump in, figuring it out as they go along. My husband is like this to an extent, and he believes me
Have you been binge watching “The Crown” on Netflix? I think it is fabulous and have especially enjoyed Winston Churchill’s character played by John Lithgow. Wisdom, power, and love of country were powerful motivators for him. As a man of many words, famous Churchill quotes are prolific. I came across one the other day that really resonated with me. “You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw

I encourage you all to do the Hustle…No, you don’t have to get up and dance to the 1975 classic disco hit, but here it is if you want to.

There are as many avenues of earning out there as there

It has been said that the only sure things we can count on are death and taxes. Spoiler alert! There is a third. Emergencies WILL happen (and at the most inconvenient times). Whether it’s an injury, an appliance breaking down, a car repair, job loss, even natural disasters; these things can wreak havoc on our finances. Making ends meet is difficult for so many families, and an unexpected expense can
