Hello Out There!

It's been a very busy last 18 months or so - moving, job changes, life.

Part of those life changes have been our growing family.  I'm expecting baby #2 in January, 2019 and so with an impending Maternity & Parental Leave for me and my husband I've decide to dust off my blog and my tracking spreadsheets for the 2019 year....after that, we'll see where we are.

I'm looking forward to writing again, tracking and just increasing our mindfulness around our financial picture.

My Dad

Today would have been my dad's sixty second birthday if Lung Cancer hadn't taken him away from us almost four years ago.  We had gotten the confirmation weeks after my husband and I were married and just a few months later, he was gone.  I think about him so often, especially now that we have Little Man.  He was so ready for grandchildren and it breaks my heart that he didn't get the chance to meet his first grandson.   So today, instead of thinking about, or writing about money, I'm just going to spend time with my family.

Great Aunt Izzy!

One of my Great Aunts lives in an Assisted Living Facility here in the city.  When I was visiting last week, I snapped a picture of her latest masterpiece.

This, is a cactus.
