We love homemade pizza and this gives us a little less bread and more veggies

I love this for pizza nights. I like to stock up on this for more of a healthy meal

ORGANIC SHELLS AND CHEESE

Our household always has this stocked it's something my daughter loves and it's a great deal being organic and a 1.99 (It tastes like the Annie's Mac and Cheese)

CHARLES SHAW WINE

I do really love this wine the only issues are they sometimes it gives me a headache but it works great for cooking and for a tasty wine and easy on the pocketbook.

I Am Here!

These last few weeks have been really hard for me so I do apologize for no blog post of really importance till now. I wanted to share an update with everyone on how I am feeling and what's been going on. I finally made an appt with someone that I think that can help with my flashbacks and help me get better. I have been putting away my feeling for so long I don't always think the things that have happened to me really did happen. I do fit all the traits of someone with depression and PTSD and it's hard to say that out-loud I hate myself for it. I don't want to call myself brave or strong I am just a person who noticed that I couldn't live like this anymore. I have a small child and I want to make sure she is a strong and happy child I need to be that mother to her. I am also stressing again if you ask me questions about what's going on I am not going to tell you much. (so stop asking questions please)

Its such a personal and sensitive subject for me I don't feel like everyone needs to know my horror story. I prefer to leave that to my husband and therapist. I haven't always been a private person but as I have noticed these issues spiral out of control I need to find some way to control it and this is the way how. I had a rough day yesterday that I haven't ever had I didn't want to get out of bed or do anything I did however spend time with my daughter and we played games but my mind wasn't here I was lost in my thoughts and sadness. Today is a better day but not fixed. I wanted to share my struggles as I know many people reading this have dealt with rough patches in their past and also have children you can't stop for kids. I also don't let my daughter see me upset I think this helps and I am good at hiding that mommy isn't feeling well today. I am still here I am still me.. I am just me trying to cope with the horrible things that happened to me as a child. So please stick around I have some fun things to share a new photo series just for you folks.. !! that's a little brightness I can share today.

Money Saving Tips Series!!!

I wanted to start a NEW SERIES-MONEY SAVING TIPS A great example is I found a dress with an original tag priced at 350 dollars and I got it for a 1.00 yes that's right one 1.00. I seem to always find good deals and savings either at the grocery store or shopping. I will be sharing with you some of my favorite sites I personally use to save money and plan to share a weekly menu example that we use for a family of 3. I find it my mission to save money when I can and I use coupons discounts and even clearance items as a new way to try new things.

I am still going to be sharing my Budget Meals Series as well and adding more to it! Here is the link to that page BUDGET MEALS

Trip to Aspen!!!

A few weekends ago we got the pleasure to go to Aspen for free for two nights! So we did I had to share we had a great time it's a high class town with a more night life than what we are use to. I wanted to share some photos of that trip. I haven't gotten down to edit everything but wanted to share it's beauty. I did a little light shopping on a budget shopping trip and found two pairs of Manolo Blahnik shoes one pair that fits me and I am keeping the other I am selling!
