A New Year. A New You.

“Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365 page book. Write a good one.” -Brad Paisley

Every new year you always hear everyone has a new resolution that they don’t end up keeping. I had one of those years last year! I made so many resolutions that there was no way I could keep them!!

So this year I decided I was going to only reach attainable goals and not a ton of them either. Here is a list of my goals.

1. Loose the rest of my weight. (I’ve already lost 14 lbs.)
2. Do better budgeting
3. Get more organized (not perfect, organized)
4. Finish painting and decorating the house.

· Loosing the weight will be hard but I know I can do it.
· Better budgeting. It’s not hard, it’s just a lot of discipline.
· More organized. I’m pretty organized as it is, but I still have a little ways to go!
· Finish painting and decorating. Now that will take me a little while, but I know I can do it. I just have to be patient with myself. And sometimes that is hard to do!!

What are your New Year resolutions?? Leave a comment below and let me know!!

Introducing Myself!

Hello! I’m Mindy, the new blogger on the block! I want to tell you a little about myself so it won’t seem so awkward between you and I.  

I have been married for 5 years to my sweet husband, Justin. We have 2 boys, Nate is 4 and Jordan is 2. My husband is a Pastor. I am a homemaker and now blogger! 


I love to DIY anything! If I can make it myself and help us save on money, I will. I enjoy it so why not do it myself, right?! I also love to organize. I’ve always liked to make things better but didn’t know exactly know how to until I joined YouTube and did that open up a whole new world! I found the amazing Catherine from https://www.youtube.com/user/DoItOnaDime and she changed everything for me in getting my house and myself organized. I also enjoy following https://www.youtube.com/user/OrganizedClutterbug . They are both so down to earth and relatable to people that have normal lives like you and I. If you have any recommendations for me just leave me a note in the comment section! 

I don’t necessarily plan on making my blog just about one thing. I plan on sharing a lot of things with you! Being a Wife, a mom, DIYing, organizing, easy supper ideas, budgeting and routines for mom and kids. 

We will enjoy ourselves along the way! Leave a comment below and feel free to introduce yourself to me and the rest of us!
Have a wonderful day!
