My Loft – the Plan

My Loft – the Plan

Aside form my fireplace, the loft has become one of my favorite places in the house. It has the perfect amount of light during the day and is perfectly small, so decorating it should be a breeze. It’s also the one room in the house that I could start from scratch, so I need a good plan. Unfortunately, that plan required new furniture, which is always expensive. So this will really just be something that I can look forward to until I get the urge to buy. But I have a plan this time so I’m not just out randomly buying everything in site.

Chloe’s First Post! The True Cost of a Puppy

Chloe’s First Post! The True Cost of a Puppy

It’s officially been a week since we adopted Miss Chloe and we couldn’t be more thrilled. We adopted Chloe from the Plano Animal Shelter at 4 months old. One of the things that drew us to Chloe was how calm she was with other people and animals, she just came in and rolled over for you to rub her belly. She loves her crate and bed and, so far, is only chewing on blankets, fingers crossed on that one.

Halloween Door Decor

Halloween Door Decor

I’m obsessed with my Halloween door, so much so that I’m about to nail everything down so it’ll never move! I’ve said it before but I can’t stress it enough, I love front porch/door decorating , if I could make it into a job I would. I love the limited amount of space, it’s much less stressful than decorating your own home. 🙂

Travel Hacking Success Story: Sedona, AZ 2017

Travel Hacking Success Story: Sedona, AZ 2017

Hi fellow hackers! We finally made it to Sedona! I’ve been wanting to come here for a while but couldn’t find a good time to take a 3 day weekend to fully experience Sedona. Side note: This is a continuation of my Travel Hacking Blog Series where I talk about how I use reward points to pay for my vacations. I’ll be posting a travel guide to Sedona that’ll detail what we did and more pictures but I wanted to do a separate post about how I used my airline and hotel points to pay for us to come here. We ended up only paying out of pocket for our food and activities!

Travel Hacking – Part 1 Rewards Credit Cards

Travel Hacking – Part 1 Rewards Credit Cards

Hi Friends! Welcome to the first part of this blog series on Travel Hacking ! There are so many great blogs out there for researching Travel Hacking and different techniques to use but this series will focus on my journey, and tricks, from start to finish. Now I’m not one of the pros, with 20+ credit cards, but throughout the last couple years I’ve developed a really good system for earning points and redeeming them for vacations. My goal is to lay out this series as if you were just starting out and had never heard of the term travel hacking. It’s also set up to be a step-by-step guide so let me know if you have any questions in the comments below, I use a lot of math for explaining things and sometimes I forget that not everyone understands math the way I do.
