Crock Pot Cherries Jubilee Recipe

May 14, 2013 By Tammilee 3 Comments

I love when my Husband casually mentions that he would love for me to make a recipe…That is what happened with this Crock Pot Cherries Jubilee recipe.

We were sitting watching TV and John oh so casually turns to me and says
“You know…we have not had cherries jubilee since our last cruise” with a smile. I asked if that was a subtle hint that he would like me to make cherries jubilee for him. He nodded and said he would not complain if I just happen to make it this week.

So here we go…Crock Pot Cherries Jubilee

Not letting financial setbacks detour you from your goals!

February 18, 2013 By Tammilee 11 Comments

This past week we were hit with two pretty major financial hits. We found out that the renters in our rental house are moving out a month ahead of schedule and the hot water heater broke to the tune of $600. I have to say this was a hard hit to find out. We are working so hard on our financial goals. We are trying to not letting financial setbacks detour us from our goals!

I am so thankful that we have been having twice a month financial meetings together. We were able to sit down and really look at our finances. We were able to figure out exactly how much we have going forward without rent coming in. We have been trying to add additional payments to our car payment and get it paid off this year. I am still hoping we will be able to do this going forward.

I keep reminding myself that saving money is a marathon not a sprint. That there will be bumps in the road but we have to stay focused on our goals and not let the bumps become the new route. I spent this weekend reading Dave Ramsey’s Complete Guide to Money: The Handbook of Financial Peace University. I am taking what I read to heart and reminding myself that this is a long term journey. I am making saving a priority and not letting my wants win out over my needs.

One of the quote I love from this book is

Valentine’s Day Wreath

February 4, 2013 By Tammilee Leave a Comment

This year I wanted to make a cute Valentine’s Day Wreath for John’s Mom as a surprise gift. I have to admit I have never made a wreath before. I keep seeing them all over Pinterest and thought I would give it a shot. I had so much fun making this wreath. I made it while we watched TV one night and it turned out better than I could have hoped for. I will definitely be making more wreaths for upcoming holidays.

Tria ~ 2 months and I still love it!

November 17, 2012 By Tammilee Leave a Comment

Last month I told you about my first month using the TRIA Light System. I can not put into words how much I love this system. I have struggled with acne for years. I have tried every thing I could think of to clean my face and get rid of pimples. Everything from toothpaste on a pimple to scrubbing with different cleaners. I still kept getting breaks outs and red splotchy skin. I have been so impressed with how amazing my face looks the past 2 months. The Tria Light System is so dang easy to use. I sit on the couch and run the wand over my face while we are watching TV. It is a few minutes out of my day for amazing results.

Here is some great information on the Tria Blue Light from their website
NO BACTERIA. NO BREAKOUTS.
It’s simple. Fewer bacteria mean fewer breakouts. Acne-causing bacteria grow when oil and dead skin cells clog the hair follicle, leading to inflammation and blemishes. To clear skin quickly and help prevent future breakouts, you need something that eliminates the bacteria deep within the skin. Unlike most traditional acne treatments that sit on the surface of the skin and cause irritation, Skin Perfecting Blue Light gently penetrates below the surface to eliminate the bacteria at the source. Tria’s non-UV blue light interacts with the bacteria to cause the bacteria to self-destruct. Eliminate the cause, and you not only clear existing blemishes but you also help prevent acne for consistently, clear skin.ormation on the Tria Blue Light from their website

Do you ever spend full price?

November 14, 2012 By Tammilee Leave a Comment

Do you ever spend full price?

One of the most frequent questions at our coupon classes is if we pay full price for anything. The short and long answer is yes we do pay full price at times. I always try to save on products but there are times I splurge or end up paying full price. Many items unfortunately do not have coupons for them. Sadly I have not seen a great coupon for a new car, new TV or designer shoes lately. But the nice thing is you can save with coupons and a rebate on these items but that is a whole other post.
We do spend full price at times and that is OK. The goal with using coupons and sales is to maximize your savings when you can. Some days this just isn’t possible. You may need something last minute and not have time to find a coupon. You may just really want that amazing bar of high end chocolate. Each of these reasons is justifiable and ok. Trust me there are times I really just want a candy bar and will get one at the store or I really just want the high end yummy melt on your tongue gourmet ice cream. These splurges do not happen every day but they do happen. Our goal is to save money on the things we need as often as we can so we have them for the things we want.
