I’m so tired + Day 10 of the No Spend Challenge

September 19, 2017 By Rose

I’m so tired. After staying up past 3am last night working on the Pumpkin Cupcakes post, I tried to sleep in today.  I didn’t stay in bed as long as I hoped but I also had so much to do today. Truth be told, I never slowed down all day long but I can’t pinpoint…

Waiting + Day 9 No Spend Challenge

September 19, 2017 By Rose

Today was not what I expected!   Well, it started okay, but then came the waiting. So first, we got up and ate breakfast, then started school.  Christian (the 10 year old) had a doctor appointment scheduled for mid-afternoon, so I wanted to get as much school done as possible early in the day. I…

All the cake.

September 15, 2017 By Rose

Today did not go as planned.  My plan for the day had been to do homeschool, then bake, bake, and bake.  All the cake. But then I woke up.  My cold/cough had only gotten worse overnight and I’d barely slept.  I decided to call today a “sick” day for school and I headed off to…

Bubbles + No Spend Challenge – Day 4

September 14, 2017 By Rose

Unlike Monday, I do not feel like I accomplished a lot today.  In fact, I had about a dozen things on my to-list and I only managed to mark off three of them.  And while that really is disheartening – I’m proud of one thing : I made bubbles with the kids. Have I mentioned…

Hey… I’m alive! And we might be buying a house.

September 10, 2017 By Rose

I have to confess – my decision to stop blogging here was intentional.  Back in February, when I failed to finish the no-spend challenge, I was also trying to get a new blog, CakeBlogging.com, up and running and well… it was just too much. So I stopped writing here and threw what little extra time…
