Summer is Winding Down

Summer is winding down! I know throughout the entire summer I kept staying how fast it was going. It always goes fast, but that's a good thing. It is good that it seems like its flying because that means you are having fun!  We should be having fun and enjoying time with friends and family. 

Did you do all the things you wanted?  I know we didn't.  I think we did a good job of not over booking our summer.  We had times where we were home and relaxing.  We had times where the kids were "bored" and had to navigate boredom. But we had a great summer!  We took a couple trips away from home, we entertained friends, we went to a few festivals and did a few new things in our area.  What more can I ask?!?  We made memories and that is all I can ask for.  I want my children to have a great childhood and my husband and I are doing everything we can to give them the best.

I am trying not to look at the "to do" list I created for my family for the summer. If we actually did everything I listed, I doubt we could have slept!  But we did a bunch, and we are blessed to be able to move some things to the fall.  

Don't stress about what you didn't do, celebrate the memories you were able to create.  Remember, not everyone is as lucky as you are.


Happy Monday!

March Book Review

I read a lot this month. We had a couple quiet weekends, and I took advantage of them by reading.  There were a few books I started and couldn't finish.  Life is too short to read a book you don't like.  But below are the ones I did finish.  I hope you find a few ones to add to your list. Temptations by Sherryl Woods My rating:  4.5/5  I loved it! Slight (very slight if I could finish the book) suspense in the book.  I thought it was a great story and I didn't want it to end. Back of book:   Callie Smith's quest for success far from her Iowa roots has caused a rift with her hardworking family. And with neither her Wall Street career nor her marriage going as planned, she starts to question the choices she's made. But when charismatic network president Jason Kane pursues her to save a failing soap opera, her life is soon full of more twists than a TV story line. Suddenly she gets to know a whole new side to her mother, and also has the opport...

January Book Review

Welcome back to our monthly book review. This is the post where I share the books I read last month, rate them and share the jacket summary.  I hope you are able to find a few new books to add to your reading list! However.... This month was a struggle for me.  On average I read about 4-5 books a month.  If I don't like a book, or can't get into it, I stop reading.  Life is too short to read a book that doesn't hold my interest.  That happened more this month than ANY month, in the last 3 years where I have been tracking what I read.  I must have started and stopped 4 books. I just couldn't not get past the first couple chapters.  It was a struggle for sure.   This month, I read a series on Kindle Unlimited that I will only count as 1 book.   I'll explain more below.   The Christmas Retreat By Grace Meyers   My rating: 4/5 My comments:  This was a 6 book series.  The books were about 70 pages long....

MONEY BACK FROM TAXES? HERE IS A SURE WAY TO GROW IT

April 15th is right around the corner; did you file your taxes yet?   The goal should always be to break even, but it's always nice to receive a return.  Want to make the return you receive grow even more..... invest in a high yield savings account !  We were first introduced to this concept about 9 months ago and didn't do it.  The person that told us about it was incredibly happy with the results they were getting.  It took convincing to get my husband on board, but when he did, he was sold.  Sometimes he has to be "sold" on an idea, so I had to do some research.  Below are the articles and facts I learned/read in the process. [Note: I am not a financial advisor, just someone that loves money.] WHAT IS A HIGH YIELD SAVINGS ACCOUNT? Savings account with higher interest then a traditional savings account.  Sometimes as much as 10x's higher!  It is often found at credit unions or traditional banks.  Traditional savings accounts typic...
