I don’t have long of a commute, on a good morning 15 mins depending on what time I leave. 5 minutes makes a difference. Coming home is usually ½ hr. Lately I’ve been pretty grumpy. The lack of manners…how hard it is to say please and thank-you (and no, I’m not referring to my 2 year old…he’s got…

The fun part
I have to admit, I have been obsessive with my debt reduction lately. I know I’m in the minority but I just like to think that I’m focused and will relish in the fun when it’s time and not on credit.
Watching that consumer debt # decrease monthly is my inspiration and the feeling that I g…
Farewell to my little green friend
Goodbye Visa. You’ve been an instrumental part of my life. Your function seemed like such a necessity way back when I applied for you however I abused you (yes, I’m ashamed) and it got me into trouble. Not until I was in my early 30’s did I really understand what you were ‘meant’ for and so now I…
Santa Cupcakes
Yes, cupcakes again. I didn’t want to make a whole cake and I had icing to use up so Mason and I decided to bake.
I needed a fairly simple recipe as I’m out of the luxury baking ingredients (cocoa, coconut, cream cheese etc). I eventually found this recipe and I had all the ingredients it requi…

I was lucky enough to be part of the Garnier 14 Day Challenge! The offer was available to 5000 women in Canada. I filled out a form on June 7th and receiv…
Last debt
I just did a scary thing.
I consolidated my debt. Why is this scary? Because I took my ‘liquid’ emergency money (aka LOC) and PAID off my Visa. No congratulations yet as no debt really got paid, it just got moved. I did this a a result of viewing my recent Visa statement and discovered my rate wh…
Smoke and Mirrors
In speaking about one of my goals (and probably the most painful of the 8), I decided to dedicate a blog post about my stomach.
Yes, my tummy.
The housing of my guts, where all the delicious food I eat goes, and where Mason lived for 10 months (okay not IN my stomach but you know...). On the inside…
Designing a life
I got a bit off track. Focus went *somewhere* else and my rah rah new life faded into a bit of a 'poor me' slump. Obviously I have nothing to whine about. I’m in excellent health, I’m at a good weight, my child is thriving (and adorable), I am working full time making the most money ever and I ha…
