Coming Soon: Budgeting Series

We've been budgeting now for over 10 years.  Hard for me to believe; but, what started out being so hard, frustrating, and tedious, has now become an automatic action for us.  So automatic for us, actually, that I often look like a deer in the headlights when someone asks us how and what we do.

The questions:

How do you do it?

Where do you spend your money?

How do you save with a large family?

Where are you able to cut costs?

How did you start?

Where should I start?

Since we've relocated (and are in the middle of revamping our own budget), it seems like the perfect time to share some of our experiences and secrets with anyone and all who want to know.  Right now, we are debt free except for the house - it took a lot of sacrifice and determination to get here, though!

Do you might have specific questions you want answered?  Feel free to send any questions to my inbox or leave a comment on Facebook or below this post.  I'll be happy to answer them along the way!

For now .... have a great weekend and keep loving Life!

What Do You Want?

This has been a hugely, busy week around here!  Getting back into the swing of early mornings, lunch packing (which hasn't happened much), and having the house ready for showings has taken a lot of my time.  And then, all the other normal things like grocery shopping, laundry, work, personal development, and errands that pop up, fill in the rest of the time gaps.  You all know the drill - you're busy, too!!

As I sat down to plan out blog posts, I began to wonder, 'What do people really want to read about from me?'.  And, you know, I'm not going to be able to answer that without input from my readers.

So, now's you opportunity.  I'm needing to hear from you what YOU want to see on the blog.  And, yes, I already have several ideas and posts ready to go, and I'm not going to completely ditch what I'm already doing; however, if I can put more of the content you want to read on here, I'm willing to do that.

Do you want...

-Crafts/sewing
-DIY
-Budgeting/Money saving tips
-Recipes
-Organizing
-Good books
-Product highlights
-Healthy tips

Or something completely different!

I really am curious!  Best way to let me know?  Comment below or comment on the My Life Facebook page.

Thanks in advance and have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Keep enjoying life!

New Additions

I've been spending a little time here and there tweaking the blog.  I've added some social media buttons on the right of the screen to make things easy on everyone to stay connected.  Along those lines, I would love it if everyone would 'like' the Facebook page.  I'll be putting other information there that may not warrant a full post here on the blog.

Another thing I decided to add is a page for Our Favorites.  We use a lot of Shaklee products, but the ones I put on the page are the items that have made the biggest difference for us.  They are items we were already purchasing, we just made a change in the brand we like.

In other news, Madi has been neutropenic for several days now.  We had to head into the cancer center today to get a CBC to see if her numbers had improved.  I'm glad to report she is above where they would like her ANC to be and she can return to taking her chemo medications and going to school.  Yay!

Anytime you would like to follow Madi's story, you are more than welcome to click on the page link above - that will take you straight to the blog I have devoted to her.  I'll try to let everyone know, either on Facebook or here, each time I write a new post for her.

Thanks for all the support!
