I'm sitting here baby-free as my wonderful Mother-in-law is caring for Max today. I'm as sick as I've been since getting pregnant, so though I've not accomplished much in my "free time", I know it's helping me get better so I can take care of my family again. Being sick with a little one sucks.
Our parents have been unreal with Max; both my parents and Ben's are so loving, kind, supportive and encouraging. I have no idea how we could ever NOT live near them!
Before I post pics and videos, I am asking for prayer and support for Ben and I- we are in the process of starting Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover and would LOVE any suggestions or encouragement from those who have done or are doing the same. Since losing my job, the reality of our crappy financial situation has become unavoidable. We want to fix it NOW, not only for our sanity, but for ours and Max's future. I'm so excited to see what doors and windows open as a result of us choosing to close the door on our past indiscretions.
Visit to Edward's Apple Orchard. We are the dorks in all plaid. I'm proud.

so cute!:)
anna we did dave ramsey FPU and really got a lot out of it. I know you will too.
More than anything - it helped us start down the path of realizing that "stuff" just isn't important at all - and we are spoiled and need to learn how to do without!
Anyway -- gotta run but just wanted to encourage you to press in and be as bold as you can with your cutbacks/budgets.
xoxoxox he truly is sooooooo cute!
We are actually doing that program right now (didn't read the book, but it's the same principles as Suze Orman's program I learned about a while back). I think it makes the process of paying off debt and saving seem much more manageable. I also have been (slowly) reading The Wealthy Barber which is another good read for financial success. I like the idea of "paying yourself first" that the book talks about.
Good luck and I think the most important thing to keep in mind that although there are only a few steps in the process, they can take a long time so don't get discouraged when it's been a few months and you don't see a huge difference. You will start noticing that your finances get better eventually. God luck!
