What's On Your Nightstand?


I love these sorts of posts and thought I would follow the leader. Unfortunately, my nightstand tends to be a bit boring....oh well!


What's on my nightstand:

1. A touch lamp
2. An alarm clock
3. A decorative black block that holds my Rosary
4. My coconut lotion that I make. This one is infused with orange oil and is fabulous for dry skin
5. The latest book that holds my interest


Now, it is YOUR turn! Take a picture of your nightstand and tell me a story!

Thoughtul Thursday: Puzzles! Puzzles!




My mother ignited a fire in my husband when she set up a 1000 piece puzzle during the Easter break.

Since then he has gone puzzle crazy!

Budget Updates

I continue to monitor my spending, but my record of it is a bit behind schedule. I normally make updates on my excel spreadsheet during my lunch breaks at work. Right now, though, work has picked up and I need the extra time to handle the work load.

Once things settle down, I will post an update of the accounts.

I can summarize that I continue with the make up ban which is driving me crazy, but I am sticking with it. I do want to try this new foundation, but there really isn't a legitimate justification to spend the money.

New clothes? Only if I can strike a great deal and if it benefits my church and work wardrobe.

Food? This will always be expensive for two reasons:

1. We purchase items that don't have coupons
2. I still have a bad habit with regard to my lunches. I can pack my husband breakfast and lunch, but my own meals are more sporadic.

If I can eliminate the second issue- we would be right on track.

Our entertainment lately has been puzzles and our continued subscription of Netflix.

Anyway.....

Lots of Rain!





I captured a bolt of lightening and the effects of the strike during one of our many storms. Enjoy!

Wheelin' Wednesday: Prepping for Next Easter



I picked up these sweet looking baskets for 75% off at the local Rite Aid. I will utilize these next year for the bookstore and make a few Easter baskets.
