So a little synopsis of who I am...
I am a Christian stay at home mom of three going on 4 kids, 2 girls, a boy, and soon to find out what baby #4 is!
I live in a rural area in PA. I love the Susquehannah Valley!
Living on one income forces frugality, simplicity, and creativity. I've come to actually love living stretched. People often call me poor but I am so, so rich. I have a wonderful family, a roof over my head, hot and cold running water (a luxury I lacked for my first 8 months in my home), and food in our bellies.
I love love love to find cheap but filling, delicious dinners, some very healthy, some designed purely to stretch a buck. Baking is fun, too!
I spend a lot of free time crafting. I'm learning slowly to sew, I'm just creeping out of beginner knitting, and I'm pretty good at crocheting! Anything age appropriate for my kids is on my craft-list as well.
I'm beginning to review items as well, both those I purchase on my own as well as those I received a discount on in exchange for a review. I would only actually endorse products I actually love, though. And I am ALL about deals!
Being heavyset (and now pregnant), and struggling with serious sugar addiction, I have found an easy-by-concept yet difficult-to-follow-through-with way to lose weight that had me melting off up to 5 pounds per WEEK without even exercising! I'm excited to begin again after this baby is born and share my 100 pound weight loss journey with you!
Of course since I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant, I will likely be posting a lot of baby-related things. I love babies, what can I say?
I could ramble forever about myself but I think it will become obvious over the course of time.
Life is the sum of small experiences more than big ones. I feel we often "need a vacation" because we choose to run ourselves ragged instead of sitting down and just choosing to take a little time each day just appreciating and loving the small moments in life that really round out who we are, even the mundane tasks.
Embrace the little things in life, that is the key to living a life of true luxury.
Thank you for the priceless gift of your time reading my blog!
