How we had our Wedding on a $5000 budget

2020-01-29T13:59:12+00:00

Our Wedding Story This is how we planned a wedding on a $5000 budget. My husband, Tad, and I are college sweethearts from George Mason University. We got engaged our senior year in college. I was so excited to think about wedding plans.  We were 21 years old and hadn’t moved out of our parents house yet and needed to figure that out first. We enjoyed being engaged and focused on graduating college. In the meantime, I would drool over the wedding websites and magazines.  What can I say, I’m an American Girl. :)  We agreed then we wanted to [...]

Don’t Overspend to Keep Up with Friends

2019-08-28T19:49:26+00:00

I came across the Credit Karma article about Millennials spend more because they are trying to keep up with their friends.  I had to write a blog post about it.  Credit Karma/Qualtrics study of 1,045 U.S. consumers.    Now, I will put in a caveat and say I’m not Millennial, based on defining a Millennial as someone between 18 and 34. If you consider me a Millennial I will take it as a compliment just like if you were going to card me for a drink, with a huge smile. I do have grey hair after-all. Just recently I came [...]

Yummy Pulled Pork Recipe

2019-07-18T01:14:17+00:00

Pulled Pork Recipe My family and I love pulled pork. It just takes some time to make.  Be prepared to take a couple of days to make it. It is well worth it though! I'm not going to go on and on about it.  Here is the recipe.  Enjoy! Purchase a boneless pork shoulder.  The larger it is, the longer it will take to slow cook.  This is done in the oven at a low temperature for a very slow cook.  It is a great meal to make in the winter or fall when you don't mind using the oven [...]

You have to start at Step 1

2019-05-09T20:10:15+00:00

It was Christmas Eve. We had just finished watching Home Alone (as is a family tradition) and my son picked up a book about origami. He thought it was a great time to start origami at 9:00pm. He wanted to start on the expert level and was asking lots of questions. Neither my husband nor I know that much about origami, and the book stated that you should start with the easy ones first. We pointed out to my son that we needed to learn the beginning of the steps from the easy section. His reaction was upset and in [...]

What are some of the rules you use to run your household?

2019-04-13T23:19:30+00:00

What are some of the rules you use to run your household? I was reading an article from an April 2018 Real Simple magazine called “Your Words: What’s the family rule that keeps your household running smoothly?”  This article really got me thinking about our own household rules for our family of 5 - me, my husband and 3 kids.  I really like all of the suggestions. Some stood out because they are the ones we already follow and some stood out as ones we should follow. My favorite one that we are not yet following in our [...]
