This was it! Only my second week of really trying and all that there was to throw out was some old garlic that had sprouted. Oh, and some mac ‘n cheese that I forgot to take a picture of. That was it though. I tried very hard to use things up this week. It wasn’t [...]

What is my motivation?
Posted in 101 Goals in 1001 days, Motivation on December 9, 2009 | 1 Comment »
This is a question that has baffled me for years. Truth be told since becoming a work at home mom 5 1/2 years ago, I don’t seem to have much motivation at all. Sure there are the normal things that everyone gathers motivation from like taking care of my kids and house, being a successful [...]

Every month I am going to post the family financial goals. Ideally they will line up with my 101 goals, but this is the first month and I’m still retraining my brain to think that way. Cash flow D’s smog check on the Tahoe. We are really unsure if it will pass or not, so [...]
