I have been reading and listening to a lot about personal finance. This has never been something that has interested me until now. I would have never known it interested me because I went to school for education which does not require any economics or finance courses.

Soul Food Sunday- Spring Break
I've been on Spring break this week, one of the perks of being a teacher. It has been incredibly nice to lounge about with no immediate plans that must be attended too.

White Chili Recipe/Day 2 of the purge
I have a problem... Sometimes when I get to the grocery store and realize I didn't put something on my list I wonder if it's because I forgot I needed it or I already have it. So I buy it, just in case. I just cleaned out my pantry, mainly because there was no system. … Continue reading White Chili Recipe/Day 2 of the purge
Spring Clean- Day 1 The Closet
2 hours and 4 bags of donations, items to sell and trash later I finally have a functioning closet! I can walk into my walk-in closet! It's not perfect by any means.

This Spring Break is a little different. Not … Continue reading Spring Cleaning/Purge

Bird watch 2015
For the past couple of weeks I've had some pigeons hanging out on my balcony. They were always there and I thought nothing of it.
