Getting Organized!

I am pretty sure if I wasn't organized I would not survive day to day.  I came across free printables on diy home sweet home that I have been using and so far have been making my schedule easier.

 

 

I made the comment to Chris the other day that we needed to work on our budget, so I am adding that to my to do list. I've been reading up on Dave Ramsey's methods and he has some really good advice! Lot's of motivation to get out of debt and stay out of debt and live a financially free life.

 

So far emeals has been amazing! They send out a new meal plan every wednesday and as long as I can get to the grocery store (or Chris can, cough, cough) we are good to go.  Last night we had clean sloppy joes that were really good, only took 20 minutes to make and I had plenty of leftovers to bring to work today.

 

Being super busy and taking all of this on has its good days and its bad days. I was so excited to have a free night with my cousin, Mandy this past wednesday to find out the night before that Chris did a switch and had to work at 9p... I was heartbroken to say the least. Of course I held it in until the next day and then just cried all day but whatever.  I got that out of my system and now on to the next task. I just hope all this hard work on my end pays off.  

Emeals

Something cool I found that I am giving a try, I just signed up for it so I don't know if I like it yet or not but all the reviews I found sound good.

They send you weekly meal plans (with whatever diet you are on- clean eating is an option!) and they send you everything broken down with meals and directions and then they send everything all together with a grocery list. There is even an app for it, which as far as I can tell so far is awesome!

 

If you decide to sign up, use the link above so I get credit for referring you.
Also, I used coupon code School15 and got 15% off :)
Hope I like it because I committed to them for a year! (its only $5/month)

Crunch time!

Maternity leave is coming to an end :( It is back to work for me this Monday coming up. I keep adding things to my to do list before I go back to work and its time to get those things done! It's going to be a busy few days but I'm optimistic and up for the challenge :) Tonight I found a few simple clean recipes and tomorrow I will be going grocery shopping and then I'm diving head first into this lifestyle! I keep saying lifestyle rather then diet because that's honestly how I feel. This is a huge change for me but I don't feel like I'm giving up junk food I just think I'm finding healthy alternatives to all my favorites. Ahhhh! So excited!

This adventure we call life!

I started this blog awhile ago as a way to document our lives but then I never posted anything. After having my second child something changed for me. I all of sudden wanted to makeover my life and be the best person for myself & my children. I'm starting the clean eating life style, I plan on starting a garden in the spring and I want to can some of what I get from my garden to have to eat through the winter. All this while working full time, working Scentsy part time, my husband working full time & part time AND taking paramedic class, raising two amazing kids and keeping my house in working order. I know it's not going to be easy but I am more then ready to start this adventure!
