I believe that God is a AWESOME God and will provide for me and my family. I also believe that he doesn't want me to sit idly by and do nothing to help myself to move forward. So I have decided to take some control of my financial situation while giving all the glory to God that he will provide for me in this endeavor.

I wanted to take a moment to share my passion with you. I have always been creative and love making and designing clothing which I have been doing for quite some time. I also have found a passion for photography and it too has become a creative outlet for me. I am in the process of starting my own photography business....I thought I might share some of my recent photos and get your opinion!!!!

This first picture was taken from a nearby pond in my neighborhood....I almost missed it because Mack was running toward it ...note to self...unless the subject is my 2 year old don't take her with me while trying to take pictures!!

You pray for your baby to be quiet so you can sleep, but when she is, you freak out wondering if she’s still breathing.

Talking about poopy diapers doesn't gross me out.

I hope that some day my girls will be best friends - they fight constantly and their personalities are so different, but I still have hope.

I earned these bags under my eyes.

With the economy plummetting like it is I am always looking for ways to care for my family....while staying within my budget. Let me tell you this is no easy task with a family of 5 . I have discovered this wonderful site called Tip Hero and it gives you all kinds of advice on how to cut cost and still be able to survive comfortably within your budget. Now some things may or may not work for your family. For example...cutting out cable and using a FREE service called HULU. It is backed by NBC and provides over 900 primetime shows on the site...definately worth looking in to. Another favorite of mine is the 99 cent chef, this site give awesome recipes for ingredients purchased at a 99 cent store and then he shows you meals you can make for your entire family!

All of these site are accessible through the Tip Hero website! I highly recommend anyone who is struggling to make ends meet or if you are just looking for ways to save money check it out...you will not be disappointed!! OH, and make sure you sign up for their newsletter because they send all kinds of information directly to you! Happy saving!!

If you have any tips on saving money...let me know I would love to hear how you are making it in this economy!

We finally had to bite the bullet and have tubes put in Mack's ears. Poor baby had been dealing with constant ear infections since October of last year. They just wouldn't clear up!

Well, on Thursday they were put in and she was such a little champ! She was obviously scared but when they gave her the medicine to calm her down...all was good! She was ready to go! She is finally getting back to her normal jovial self! I am so happy to see her running and playing and not complaining of her ears hurting! The marvels of modern medicine!
