A bright AM...

Just up an getting ready for work. I am a stay at home mom (SAHM) most of the time, but I do log a few hours at our local YMCA. There are great benefits to working at the Y, 1. free baby sitting, 2. free membership, 3. discount classes for the kids, & 4. a nice little paycheck. I work in the fitness center, teaching children swim lessons and teaching first aid/CPR classes. With a degree in exercise science it couldn't be a better part time match!


Today I am working in the fitness center, & this week is pretty darn exciting. Last week we were closed for our annual maintenance & cleaning. It is also the time of year when we get new equipment and man were we spoiled this time. All of our ellipticals were replaced (9 machines), and so were all the bikes (8), we got 5 new treadmills, 2 more AMTs, a bigger stretching area & a great face lift, new carpet & paint & lighting. It looks amazing!

But hey the fun will actual come this afternoon, my son and I are going to try our second attempt at making bread, we tried earlier in the week and well though the taste was good, it was much denser than I was hoping. So I think I either added too much flour or mixed it too much, I dunno... but I fill you in on how today goes :)

A Rich Woman's Family

After the birth of my second child I realized right then and there that our family was complete. A mommy, a daddy, a son and a daughter. I was told by many I had a rich man's family (1 boy & 1 girl), but hey I am a lady so thats why this is "A Rich Woman's Family" blog. Life has been good to me, I may not have millions in dollars and that is just fine, and I definitely would never trade what I do have for any amount of money.

Through my blog you will learn about me & my family, our trials and tribulations, the fun things we do, and how we make the best with what we have been given. I love to exercise, run, sew and garden, so you will likely see posts about that stuff too. I am a frugal green loving mama so those topics are game as well. If it touches my life you will read about it.

I always believe that the best way to learn is through others, so I hope many can learn from me as I have (& continue) to learn from many other!

Enjoy and please feel free to comment!
