I’ve taken a bit of a break from my blog this week because I had some projects I had to tackle. Between changing banks, changing insurance, and just basic financial re-evaluation, I have been busy tackling money issues. I also have taken the opportunity to earn a few extra dollars (including selling my sweet hummus!). These chances must be taken advantage of when your husband has a youth pastor’s salary. 🙂 Getting all of my “bucks” in a row helps me to feel more at ease and focused. Check out Create Margin to get ideas on how to become more financially fit.

On top of this, I have been busy working on a special post for a big fundraiser for Aleyah’s school, and I will have completed 21 miles of running in four days by 8:30 this morning.

I am thankful that my husband has chosen to celebrate his 40th birthday (on the 28th) by heading to Orlando for a 2-night getaway. We will leave later today and enjoy some much-needed R&R.

I can’t wait to get back to sharing on my blog, and next week I am focusing on back-to-school ideas as everyone is settling into or starting the new school year!
