What do you do when you have a back pocket full of cactus? Don't sit down! And that's exactly what I'm going to try to do. Metaphorically. So obviously being at the computer is most likely sitting down (and I know cactus should be cacti but I just like the word cactus better) but in this case I just mean I'm not going to be lazy. When I'm not blogging I'm going to get off my butt and make/do stuff to blog about. So I hope you enjoy all of my posts! You're my motivation!

Bits & Pieces

Hi everyone! Hope you are enjoying your Sunday. Mine has been nice and relaxing so far. I just finished having my favorite for dinner (salmon) and some chocolate covered strawberries after. Mmm. It's always nice to have a good meal with the family and even though we're all really disappointed about not winning the lotto this week, (we were seriously could have won last week if I just replayed my ticket..sickening) it's days like this that remind me of how fortunate we already are.  I'll figure out another way to buy everyone a new house and pay off our loans. That's going to be lots and lots of hard work and dedication but I know it's in our future. 

For now I'm still shopping on a budget and as always I will be happy to show how to look good on a budget :) So here's a few outfits I put together using new buys and previous purchases.
