Depression: A Mental Health Minute

I have been having medication issues, related to our move last year! Finding a new doctor took a while, especially since it’s been one medical issue after another for our household. I ended up running out, and having to start all over with my meds…

But here I am, again! I know it’s been a minute. I’m sorry for that!

Still making my way on this journey we call life…

Couponing: How to Create a Stockpile

So today I’m gonna share with you how we survive the winter or times like this. I coupon, not on an extreme basis. But still, when we have extra money… I buy coupons, then I buy extras of the necessary items; like toothpaste, deoderant, laundry detergent, soap, shampoo and conditioner, feminine hygiene products. Then I store them in shelves that are in my closet and laundry room.

I also utilize several receipt apps to get me gift cards for items I already bought. Some of the ones I use are Fetch Rewards, Shop Kicks, and Receipt Pal. All of which are available on Google Play…

Finding Solace, then Peace

Ever been so lost in grief or anxiety, and needing help finding peace and comfort? The definition of solace via Merriam-Webster is (noun) 1comfort in grief alleviation of grief or anxiety, 2a source of relief or consolation. Finding peace is often hard for most people, but the old saying of “Let it Go” is easier said than done. Sometimes you find peace in many different forms; whether it’s from friends, or family, or a hobby. You must let it go and move forward, because focusing on the negativity/anxiety/grief will do you no good except cause more anxiety and grief…

Kids & Small Victories

I can’t say it’s been all victories for us lately. As I sit here, broke and without a whole lot of necessities… But at least I can say we are not homeless anymore! We’ve been blessed exponentially with many small victories these past couple weeks. Not so long ago, I didn’t even see the light at the end of my own tunnel… But those lil smiling faces looking up at me, telling me everything was gonna be ok. That’s what kept me going! Kids, they’re hard… But they can also be a real life saver!
