Married Home

Posted by Heriberto Fuentes


We got married a few months ago and we’ve found that owning a home has been a lot more costly than we ever imagined. I knew there was something to be said for renting for a while longer but we really wanted something to call our own right after we got married. We’ve been working on saving money where we can but definitely owning is harder than we ever would have thought. I looked into Energy Savings Tips online and we’ve been composting to try and grow our own veggies in the back. I like having fresh food that I grow myself so even if I’m not saving money I think it’s nice when I’m able to cut $20 here and there. You know, I love being married and having to figure out how to navigate our money issues together as a couple. I know it’s going to be one of many conversations we’re going to have about money throughout the years so it’s good to learn how to communicate about things like this.

Getting My Fat In Check

In the next coming weeks you'll probably see quite a few blog posts from me solely dedicated to exercise and losing weight. Why? Because about 13 years ago this fat chick moved into my body and she just won't leave. I have tried with all of my might to evict her, but she just won't budge. It's time to take a stand. I will not allow her to live here anymore. With this in mind, I will be entering as many giveaways that I can that offer weight loss products and aides, or gift cards that will allow me to purchase said weight loss products and aides. Today I entered to win a PINK S2H Step Pedometer (a really awesome pedometer that allows you to earn rewards while keeping fit!! a total win-win!!)over at The Freebie Junkie's blog. She is big on promoting healthy activity and I truly appreciate it. Are you looking for a cool giveaway to enter? Head on over to The Freebie Junkie and enter to win. Your chances are as good as mine, although I think I should win!! Good Luck to us all!!

Blog Resolutions

So.....with the "fall-back" event, I have made the decision that it is way past the time to reinvent my blog. I have let it fall by the wayside and barely make an effort to keep it interesting. In truth, I have no one to blame but myself. I was trying to be trendy and include things that were popular on other blogs. Shall we say it all together, FAIL!! I have always known that i am not quite like anyone else, which is true for us all. We are unique individuals with our own thoughts and ideas. So, why on Earth would I try and create something that mimicked something else. I will chalk it up to a moment of insanity and get back to what this blog really was supposed to be in the first place. In my heart and my head, I am a writer. I remember my first grade teacher asking what I wanted to be when I grew up. I replied that I wished to be a writer and a teacher. I accomplished one of those things without even trying. You see, as a Mom, I am a teacher among many other things. I have also worn that "hat" in many other facets of my life (e.g. Nurse Aide preceptor, phlebotomy instructor, tutor). Now for the writing wish...I write all of the time, but is it truly noteworthy? Unfortunately, the answer is no. My goal is to write a fabulous fiction novel chock full of all of the things I love to read. There are a million ideas floating around in this head of mine and hopefully one day I can put them down on paper. For now, I will allow this blog to be a medium of sorts. I hope you will all join me on the ride as I share my thoughts, my visions, and whatever else I deem purposeful or entertaining.
