My Purpose in the Blog World

"The happiest people don't have the best of everything...They just make the best of everything they have."

When stumbling upon this quote, I just sat in awe!  I thought to myself, this is it!  this is going to be my new slogan!  Some people question my "frugalista" (yes my own word) ways, but this quote sums me up!  How I strive to live and provide the best possible for my family without taking away from our necessities.  God has blessed us with so much and I will try my best to never take that for granted.  What I do not have, I don't stress over, it is a lesson, that has taught me, and is still teaching me to make the best of everything and to teach my children to do the same thing.  Stuff is just that...STUFF, you cant take it with you when you die...and life is extremely too short to be focusing on it.... so why try to flaunt it and keep up with the Jones' per say.  just my opinion....

So, back to "My Purpose in the Blog World"....  Basically, it is quite simple.  I thoroughly enjoy learning new ways to save money and cut unnecessary cost in every day life.  I enjoy crafts and pretty much everything homemade.  That is when I decided to start this blog.  Since moving to Columbia, South Carolina (after being uprooted from my home town for 27 years) I haven't met but a handful of people, that is including neighbors and Daniel's (my hubby) co-workers.  With that being said, I have been starving for adult interaction and conversation.  Being a stay at home mother of two beautiful children under the age of 4 is the most rewarding Job I could have, but also very tiring and stressful at times... (aka potty training).  I would find myself updating my Facebook statuses just to vent or hear myself as I was speaking to an adult. Sad but true!  So for all my Facebook pals, I will no longer be flooding your news feed with my boring realizations and my venting rampages, even though I know you all enjoyed it, ;-) .

With that being said, Stay tuned for a "how-to" blog (at least) once a week and anything else I may feel the need to blog.  Most importantly: Enjoy your life, living it homemade ;-)
