Hello again…

3 months have passed & I’ve contemplated whether I wanted to continue the blog. It’s kind of nice to be able to revisit my thoughts. So, here goes another update. Weve been in Barksdale for a little over 3 months and the job searching hasn’t been too fruitful. It’s possible that I had been asking…

From Working Mama to Stay-at-home Mama

I’m sitting here in my last 30 minutes of my role as working mom and I’m feeling mixed emotions. I’m sad to leave an organization that has treated me so well these last 3 years. I started this job when was I was a brand new Air Force military spouse. I really didn’t know much. I didn’t…

To stress or not to stress…

Started Friday morning off with a fussy child, throwing a tantrum as I got her fed & ready for daycare… Worked out & relieved some of the tension from the morning routine. Husband calls 5 min before I walk into the office with a pretty big question… Should we extend our flight out a week?…

Packing Up & Moving Out

As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been decluttering since before my daughter was born. I’ve been moving towards a minimalist lifestyle, but am still figuring out what works best for me and our routine. No doubt about it, I still love to shop. Breaking that habit took a while, but I’ve definitely learned to spend less…

Moving Forward

It has been about 2 months since my last post and A LOT has happened since then. We cleaned out our house, packed up our belongings and the military shipped the household goods in the beginning of March. We moved out and have been staying at temporary lodging that closer to my base. It has…

Playing Catch Up

We arrived home from Germany a little later than expected and this week started off tired and irritable. My husband’s car decided to break down the day before we left & was an added stressor on our life to do list. Today, I’m dedicating my time to catching up on laundry & finally cleaning out…

Road to Debt Freedom

My minimalist journey began as an effort to reduce daily clutter and life stressors. I began 2016 enrolled in a Stress Management course for my graduate studies and began to explore the realities of consumerism and materialist behaviors. I was able to distinguish that the life I had been living and the habits I had…

Intentional Living

2017 is off to a solid start. I’ve been busy decluttering, selling anything I can on Facebook’s wonderful world of sale pages and have pocketed over £100! Not too shabby. Much if my time has been dedicated to the great purge and eliminating anything not needed in our lives. It’s been immensely satisfying and I’m…

A Friday well spent…

After months of contemplating, I finally ordered a few pieces from Ikea to help find homes for our beloved belongings. Before I ordered, I spent a good deal on Pinterest searching for the optimal method of organizing. I didn’t want too many drawers for toys to get lost in buckets, so I found this Kallax…

Never Ending Illness

I was quite hopeful for this Christmas break. I had big plans to minimize and declutter all weekend, but a cold crept in and took over me. I am being more mindful of my habits and dispose of things more regularly. I’ve gotten into the habit of putting all donations/items I want to sell in a…
