Before we bought a home we were extremely worried about all the ways we'd be spending money. We wanted to make sure that we really could afford all the extra things that come with buying a home. We made a long list of all the new expenditures and quizzed all our home owning friends and family members. My husband's parents were particularly aware of our quest and happened to come across a lawn mower for $5 at a yard sale. Its an old push mower and is as loud as can be but I love this thing. Its been five years since we got it and every spring we give it a couple of strong pulls and it starts right up. Sometimes I throw on my heart rate monitor and get my exercise in for the day and let me tell you, I get a great cardio workout!!!!

- Every morning I wake up with a head full of things to do. I scramble around trying to put them in lists of importance all while trying to keep the peace within my little brood (trying to recall everything I've learned and read about parenting at the same time.) I love being a wife and the quirks that come with having my man forever. I love to be creative and thrive on crossing off my to do list. I strive to find balance and put first things first which brings me PEACE & JOY and allows me to sleep so much easier when I do. I think that one of the secrets to being HAPPY in life is to find that balance. I'm learning how to be kinder to myself and learning patience in progress. Everyday, through the thick and thin of life I'm trying to turn my heart towards heaven and remember what's really important.Oh, and I love to eat, so much so that I love to exercise too.

We're like hospice for lawn mowers. We've gone through so many in the last few years. Yours gives me hope that we'll find one that lasts longer!
