The fact that I'm halfway through this pregnancy is insane. These past 5 months have just flown by and I can only imagine the next 5 months being the same. Do I feel prepared? Somewhat. Will I actually be prepared when the time comes? Yes, in terms of having all the supplies we need, but…
After the holidays we like to be a little more frugal, and with Valentines Day coming up we still like to stay on this trend! While some couples like to splurge a little and treat themselves on February 14th, some others like to take it easy and try to keep it as inexpensive as possible.…
It is now two days until our Hawaii trip and of course we've already started packing cause we are just ready to go!! This isn't a regular Hawaii trip though, this ain't no all inclusive! We're doing the rustic side of Hawaii and we're going camping around the Big Island. This takes a little bit…
