Depression. Anxiety. PPD. Bipolar Disorder. Seasonal Depression. OCD. PTSD. With September wrapping up and October starting, I thought now would be a great time to talk about mental health. More importantly, our mental health. September is Suicide Prevention Month and October is Depression Awareness Month. Apparently, I am supposed to keep it a secret that [...]
Somehow, despite all the craziness and setbacks this year has brought, we have made it to September 1, 2020. Thanks to COVID-19, we've all missed a lot of annual traditions this year BUT we're not missing our annual tradition of No Spend September! This is our 4th year doing NSS and I don't know about [...]
If you've been around the club for a while then you know all about my No Spend September challenge. Every year I challenge myself (and you!) to go the entire month of September without any frivolous spending. It is A LOT harder than it sounds! The first year I did No Spend September I actually [...]
Happy 2019! Its time for my annual Word Of The Year post! Rather than resolutions, I try to pick a word or a phrase to focus my year around. 2018 was Breathe, which I lost sight of and honestly should pick again this year but I am moving on instead. For 2019, my word is [...]

Hey fellow Hot Mess Mommas! Remember back in January when we decided we would pick a word or a phrase to center 2017 around? How is that going for you? Are you still reminding yourself of your word/phrase? Are you seeing a difference? Did you completely give up and are just focused on surviving at [...]
Back in September, I challenged myself to avoid spending money on stupid sh*t. I called the challenge No Spend September and you can read about how that went HERE. In October I decided to change things up and challenged myself to walk more (HERE is that challenge info). I ROCKED September. October rocked me. I [...]
Well, I'll just be honest...I AM LAZY! Literally, y'all, I was only successful ONE day this month! O N E ....Out of 31! How stinkin' terrible is that? (I realize today has just started and that 1 could turn into a 2 but judging by the previous 30 days, I am going to say the [...]
