How many of you have thought about getting life insurance, but then stopped thinking it was to much? I am a guilty one of that, I always thought getting life insurance was a waste of money. However, as I have grown older, I have learned differently. I have learned if I don't have life insurance when something happens to me, my family will be left with the burden of figuring out how to pay for any expenses I had. If you know me, you would know this is one thing I do not want to put on my family. I don't want them stressing over how they will pay for anything after I am gone. So I have started looking into my options on both health insurance and life insurance. So far I have come up with a few different quotes, my goal is to get a policy that will not only cover my expenses, but also give my daughter the money she needs to go to college. I want my daughter to succeed in everything she does, so having a degree I personally feel is a must! She loves animals, so I am hoping she goes … [Read more...]
Life Threw A Curve Ball At Me
For those that I am close to you know what I have been going through for the past few months. Life has thrown me a small curve ball, however, I know I can overcome it. I am sorry posts have slowed down some, and I am sure they will not pick up until things can get figured out in my personal life. Once I do get a handle on things though, I will be bringing some yummy recipes. So a run down of what I have been up to the past few weeks, without giving you all the drama. The Michigan weather has been weird. I purchased my daughter some snow pants, and have no clue why. We hardly received any snow! Can you believe it like no snow in Michigan is weird. It was some what of a Tennessee winter. However, in Tennessee we don't get as cold. I have also still been seeing a doctor for my mental issues, haha, yes I have mental issues. Life can just down right stink at times, but other then that, nothing much else. We have been out geocaching which was a good thing, it got our minds off … [Read more...]
Yearly Body Cleanse
Now that the new year is in full swing, how many of you have been sticking to those resolutions? Not me! However, every year I try to do at least one body cleanse. Whenever I do a complete cleanse, I feel a lot better through out the day. Many don't know it, but waste will build up and all the toxins are not good for you. Not only does the cleanse help you clean out those bad toxins, it also helps you release all the build-up this allowing you to drop some pounds. The last cleanse my husband did, he dropped almost 30 pounds, and I lost 10. Although I didn't lose as much waste as my husband I still felt so much better. I never use to cleanse my body until my husband showed me all the benefits that came a long with it. Through out the year as we eat processed foods, all the chemicals and such have a hard time removing themselves from our bodies. The build up will cause your body to run sluggish. If you are running sluggish I would recommend you doing a cleanse. I am … [Read more...]

Nothing But Ice!
So we got some rain last night on top of the snow, and it turned it all into one big mess of ice. Blah! I hate ice, driving in it sucks. Thankfully the main roads are clear, and I only have to drive 5 miles per hour for about 10 minutes. I am so ready for summer, I am so ready to be in my own place. Winter is so depressing! I guess if I had the proper winter wear, and new how to ice ski, then I would love it, but it is just to cold for me. I need to find a place in the middle. Tennessee is to hot in the Summer, and Michigan is to damn cold in the Winter. I want my own little Island that stays about 80 degrees all the time. That would be heaven. I would fish for my food, and I of course I would have some fruit trees... Hell I would just live on fruit! Who is with me on this one, let's all run away from all the stress and blah here, go to our own Islands, and just take a year off... I think if I could I would, but I would have to take my family... Well, my husband and daughter. … [Read more...]
Remodeling, Where To Start
Cold weather makes me want to remodel. However, remodeling can be very stressful. If you are like me everything has to be perfect. I want paint that not only sets off the room, I want paint that matches my furniture. In the bathroom I want glass tiles, but picking on the glass tile that will look best can be something else. When it comes to remodeling I usually pick on three things I like the best, and I have my husband and daughter pick which ones they like the best, and we go from there. We want a home everyone loves! Mosaic tile has always been some of my favorites. I have already told my husband when we get to the point of purchasing our dream home, the kitchen is mine! I want to do the walls in glass mosaic tile, I have heard it makes washing down the walls so much easier. That is one thing I dislike about spring cleaning, is washing all the walls. It always seems like it takes longer to wash walls then to clean the rest of the home. What sort of tiles do you like? If … [Read more...]
They Say All Things Happen For A Reason
But do they really? Or do we tell ourselves that to help lessen the hurt. For the past 7 months or so my life has been one hell of a roller coaster ride. I cannot really go into details on the blog, like they say somethings are better left unsaid. I sometimes find myself questioning the saying many say. I have always been a strong believer of all things happening for a reason. Sometimes though it's hard as hell to keep that faith.It's hard as hell to think God would put so much on one person; I will admit, I have been at my breaking point a few times. I have been to the point I am ready to say fuck it all... (yes, I said that word.) Being a parent is hard work, you don't only have yourself to think about, you have those that you helped create! Sometimes I wonder if I am still in my postpartum from having my daughter 10 years ago. When she was 2 I was diagnosed with manic depression. I didn't want to believe it so never took the meds. As my daughter got older anxiety started to … [Read more...]
Burrr!
Sweet! I have not seen temperatures this low in over 8 years! It is currently 9 degrees outside, with a feel like of -6! I am trying not to focus on how cold it is out there, and more on my business. It is only a matter of time before I start having product ready to be sold. I am purchasing about 20 pounds of beeswax tomorrow! WOOHOO. For the most part I am pretty excited. The better the business goes the better chance I have at getting my sanity back. However, it finally looks like winter has decided to make her appearance, ugh. I sometimes wish I was back in Tennessee, or Michigan could have milder winters. How are the temps were you are? Lots of snow or a little? … [Read more...]
Phone Problems
This guest post from Werner Rogers We’ve been getting far more phone calls at the office than normal and I knew we needed to make some changes to keep up. We already had the high speed internet but I started looking into a smallbusiness.xo t1 line because that’s what I knew we needed to focus on – there’s something to be said for not having to worry too much about whether or not your internet or phones are going to go out on you when you’re dealing with a client. Things at the office have been tight these last couple of years but I always say if you’re not growing you’re dying so there’s no reason not to keep investing in your business. I think it’s important to note that people do what they need to do to stay afloat and that’s what I’ve been working on this last year – the economy’s rough but there’s no reason if other small businesses can succeed right now that mine can’t, too, and that’s what I’m going forward on. I can do it! … [Read more...]
