If you read my post from last week about making plans, you know I’m on a mission to get my finances in order. And as I learned last year, blogging is expensive. One of my blogging priorities this year was to create a blog budget (and just as importantly, stick to it). Coming up with …

I kind of feel like I just ran a marathon (I mean, if I were to ever have actually run a marathon to compare this to). I wrapped up all 12 days of 12 Days of Christmas Printables…and I even finished them in 12 days. Woohoo, go me, etc., etc. I’m going to list them …

I haven’t done much whining about the winter storm, Cleon, that swept through Texas and much of the United States these last few days, so I’ll go ahead and do that now. You guys. It’s been cold. But it’s not the cold I’m complaining about, so much – it’s all the ice!  For three days …

Today is December 1st, and in my world, December 1st is so many things. Firstly – and hands-down most importantly – it’s my son’s birthday. Happy 5th Birthday, Jack! It’s also officially “Christmas Season” in our house, and we love Christmas –  so, I thought I’d share the love with 12 Days of Christmas Printables …
