MakingCents @MakingCents (743) 7 Jan 20

You hear that everywhere. But I actually heard an interesting take on that. There is nothing WRONG with the old you. The old you is great. The old you has managed to make it this far. So maybe instead of new year, new you we...

The First step is the hardest

MakingCents @MakingCents (743) 17 Mar 19

I think that's what they say. Although in this case that's not quite the case. But I DID have hubby listen to the book this weekend while road tripping and he's on board too. Now we have to sit down from time to time and check...

Hard Time with this Season

MakingCents @MakingCents (743) 25 Nov 18

December and January have not been kind months to my family. Nothing crazy tragic has happened, but a lot of 'bad' has happened and I feel like this time of year more than anything triggers the memories. Everytime Christmast...

Still Alive

MakingCents @MakingCents (743) 9 Oct 18

Me. That is. I'm still alive. No time really in my day to pop in and out of MyLot but I wanted to let everyone know that I miss you all. What's your greatest wish? Like one within reason. You know what I want? A WEEK. A week...

It's Not Vacation When You Have a 2 Year Old

MakingCents @MakingCents (743) 14 Jan 18

I'm not complaining (too much) because it's still January and we're still in Florida instead of Ohio but MAN is it not vacation when you have a 2 year old! Especially when hubby isn't along for the ride. It's only been a day and a...

MakingCents @MakingCents (743) 6 Jan 18

When it works, it works

MakingCents @MakingCents (743) 2 Nov 17

I get so happy when I'm out helping the little men do their activities and we find someone who just 'gets them.' They've been horseback riding for a few years, and while they like it, it can be hard for them at times. Just like...

We went, it was worth it.

So her fever broke around 3:00 and she was bouncing off the walls crazy. We decided to go for trick or treat and it was worth it. She had such a good time. It's awesome to be making new memories in or new house and starting new...

My Great Return?

MakingCents @MakingCents (743) 30 Oct 17

Election Fallout

MakingCents @MakingCents (743) 9 Nov 16

I don't even know where to start in terms of reacting to this election. I guess my facebook status sort of sums it up best. Yet there is so much more I want to say. I didn't endorse trump or vote for him. I don't support what...

Can I win a small lottery?

MakingCents @MakingCents (743) 16 Oct 16

We HAVE to move, And we're actively looking. But nothing in our budget seems 'worth it' to me. If we could bump that budget up $25,000 there are PERFECT houses. But I don't know how that's ever going to happen. I need to win...

Selling Jewelry

MakingCents @MakingCents (743) 2 Aug 16

So, most of you don't know me "in real life" but if you did you would find it downright hysterical that I have signed up to sell jewelry. I am NOT a jewelry person. But I love 'meaningful' stuff. I always want clothes,...
