Reading in the New Year

I had a goal of finishing this series in 2017, unfortunately that did not happen.  Starting my 2018 off with this one in hopes of getting the series finished this year!

Special Agent Faith Mitchell returns home to a nightmare. Her baby daughter Emma has been locked outside, and there's a trail of blood to the front door.
Without waiting for back-up, Faith enters the house. Inside a man lies dead in a pool of blood. Most worrying of all, her mother is missing.

When the Atlanta police arrive, Faith has some difficult questions to answer. But she has some desperate questions of her own. What were the killers searching for? And where is her mother?
Suspended from duty, Faith turns to her work partner, Will Trent. Together he and Sara Linton must piece together the fragments of a brutal and complicated case, and catch a vicious murderer with only one thing on his mind.

To keep on killing until the truth is finally revealed.

Until next time,

Is It Morning Yet?

I found this recipe on Pinterest.  Who doesn't love Pinterest? 

Maple and Brown Sugar overnight oats for the win!  I used to eat this pre-made packet when I was a kid.  A walk down memory lane for breakfast. 

Until next time,

The Weather Outside Is Frightful

The weather is nasty and against my better judgement I had to go out today. 3 stops and I was back home.

Within minutes I was back in to my pajamas.  I am currently snuggled up in a blanket an looming a scarf for a family member.  A very last minute gift request.  It's getting done and I am enjoying the process of creating.

The colour is absolutely gorgeous!

Until next time,

Habs For The Win

This book came to me via Habs 1909 points; free points for Habs games and contests.  Once the season ends you cash out your points for prizes.  Unbeknownst to me, my husband chose the same reward, so we had 2 books sitting around the house.  That translates to free money! 

I posted this for sale on my various sale sites and it was picked up tonight! $20 for the click of s couple buttons while watching a hockey game.  

My dog grooming envelope is now fully funded and I've split the remaining money between debt payments and new winter boots.  I am working at $100 towards the debt and $150 for the  boots.  Let's hope I can find the boots in sale. 

I am honestly surprised at the sales I've had this close to Christmas.  I love it! 

Until next time,

Messy Debt

Debt accumulation is one of life's easy accomplishments errr burdens!

I have been very conscientious of my debt repayment and working many different ways to motivate and visually display my progress.

Small steps 

I snapped this picture this afternoon after making my bi-weekly payment.   Only 36 weeks left!  I am currently dumping extra money on this debt, so 36 weeks is the minimum.  I can not wait to be finished with this debt once and for all!

Until next time,

Hidden Money

I've been on a journey of debt reduction and minimalizing my possessions.  If I don't use it and it has no emotional attachment (minus my wedding dress), I am selling it and dumping the money on debt.

I started this path of cleaning and purging when I was tired of owning clothing that no longer fit and wanting to pay for a trip without amassing debt and using credit cards.

Since the beginning of the year, I've sold near to $1600 worth of stuff, most items in the $5.00 range, although with the higher priced items, it averages out to about $8-10 per item.  

This bra represents a whole lot to me!  I am part of a few Dave Ramsey Facebook groups and people quite often say they have nothing to sell.  I beg to differ. You have a lot more than you think.  Think outside the box.  This bra has been sitting in my drawer for about 5 years, still with tags on it.  I bought it to wear under my wedding dress, but that didn't work, so rather than take it back to the store, I kept it 'just in case'.... my sweet lord!  How foolish.  

Fast forward 5 years.  I have had this thing listed for sale for about 6 months.  A lot of interest, but as is often the way with online sales, zero respect and no follow through with pick up  - until last night!  I pocketed a cool $15.00 for this beauty!   It was money that went directly to my dog grooming sinking fund.  $10.00 in sales and Daisy's next grooming appointment is funded.

Step back and take a look.  What do you have to sell?  I bet more than you realize!

Until next time,

A Charmed Gift

I'm a little late to the party when it comes to Charmed Aroma.  That all changed today.  My mother-in-law brought me a Charmed Aroma bath bomb and I couldn't wait to relax and unearth my gift.

My love of pumpkin has now wiggled its way in to my Christmas celebrations!  SWEET!!

I never expected to get anything near as pretty as I discovered inside my bath bomb!

I love it! 

I don't know when I will ever have the opportunity to wear it, but I love that I received such a pretty bauble.  

Not only was the bath a wonderful way to spend a few minutes on a cold and blustery winter day, but to be gifted with such a pretty gift - priceless.  

Taking time to soak in the little moments that make a day special. 

Until next time,

It's Been A While

Life has that funny way of getting away and catching up to you all in one fell swoop.

It's been ages since I've been here and I thought, the new year is coming and my life has changed so much, I thought what better time to rekindle an old love.

I have created many blogs over the past few years, so more specifically focused, but none of them clicked like this one did.  This particular blog was more about all things me.... no specific focus, just the dumping of head thoughts.  I loved it. I miss is and I'm back.

Do I have any followers?  Does anyone really care about what I have to say?  I'm no longer sure, but I'm here, baby!!!!  WOOHOO for me!  WOOHOO for you! :)

Stay tuned for all things Tammy, more posts coming soon!

Until next time,

~T xoxo
