Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
I'm pretty sure I did that on Thursday and again today. Today I had 8 things on my To DO list - some fun, some chores, some money making blog work. I did 5 so that's not too bad when you consider I also spent time with the boyfriend. Anyway - my whole money saving... Continue Reading →
Find more bodyweight exercises at Greatist.com I can absolutely CAN fit this in twice a week, right? Odd how I can create a new money saving habit, a new kitchen cleaning habit, and can push myself to run greater & greater distances on the weekends (even every day of a 3-day version), yet I am...

Fun money update: $62.78 as of last weekend Workout update: Oh, well..not doing so well mid-week still. Only did a 20 minute weight & ab workout one night.

Catching up from last week, I put $7.25 into the change fund so that is up over $44 as we rolled into Feb. If I can keep up a $40/mo total I will be plenty happy at Christmas! FWIW, what I do is get $20 cash every Sunday just to have something on hand for... Continue Reading →

Especially when your boys are willing to spend many hours playing card games with you to break up the time spent reading on your new kindle or in front of the TV: We've had this game for awhile but at first our brains hurt or we were just too tired or something to want... Continue Reading →
We are on the Friday of week 2 of 2013 - so how are those new habits coming along? Lord knows I've got a couple of good excuses were I to not have chosen something so relatively easy to start off! It was precisely because of the Fumication this week and then Fibroid Eviction next... Continue Reading →
Think of little everyday tasks (habits) you do already without needing any impressive amount of motivation or inspiration – brush your teeth, shower, scoop your cat’s litter box or take your dog for a walk. If you miss a day, you don’t get overly bummed; you just pick it right back up. Those are all... Continue Reading →
This is old news to many, but for the newly subscribed readers – I rebel against New Year’s Resolutions.
