This week my husband and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary. In honor of the day I wanted to make something special, but my husband doesn’t get into a lot of the corny love stuff. He makes everything more complicated, I really have to put some thought into anything I do. When I saw the […]

Moving… It can be a joyful event, like buying your first house or a tearful occasion, as in an unexpected relocation.

Well, this is our mid- challenge check in, and I have to admit trying to organizing in the middle of a move is hard. I had planned to get everything neat, organized and then pack it. I’m finding that is extremely difficult to do. With all the craziness that goes on with buying a house […]
