Transition of MzzA

Well hello…it’s been too long but I have a couple thoughts for you all.   Today is the last year of 2015 and although many find it to be cliche to reflect as something comes to a close I find it to be healthy.   So today I reflect on my year and with great joy I am ecstatic with my personal growth; spiritually, physically, emotionally and financially.   See I am a person that is known to over plan but this year I consciously tackled my year in small increments.   Each month I planned to be a better me by different means and with the help of God it was one of my most successful plans ever.   This year I learned to trust in God more than I had ever trusted him before.   I leaned on him for even the small things and was able to witness breakthroughs in my life that I’ve been waiting on.   I have never felt more comforted in trouble times, more resilient to my pain and joyfully rich even when my bank account said I should feel different.   Se...

Well I haven’t had the opportunity to blog in several months with life taking a toll on my time and health yet I found that there is no better time than now to dive back in.   So here goes…..I sit here reflecting on this day as this is the last day of the school year for my daughters and I find it to be an emotional day yet I am trying to count it all JOY.

Well with my children on a vacation to visit my great-aunt I decided I would try not to miss them too much by staying busy.   My husband and I took photos of just the two of us that were much needed for our bedroom and had a mini date night.   It was definitely an interesting beginning since I missed the kids so much I wanted to just lay in bed and talk to them on the phone.   Can’t wait for them to come home but I’ve definitely been productive preparing for back-to-school; I’ve gotten most of my school shopping done (including supplies), the MommyMobile (aka Honda Odyssey) cleaned inside and out, progressing through my house deep cleaning one or two rooms per day and lastly diving head first into learning to begin extreme couponing.     The MommyMobile was my first assignment that I figured I could tackle on my lunch break boyyyy what was I thinking.   I was successful in cleaning everything very good excluding the two front door panel pockets and...
