Hi, Hello and Welcome!

Hi, Hello and Welcome!

Four months ago I had a sweet little baby boy who turned my life upside down. This had already happened once with my oldest baby but I really didn’t think it would be all that different with another little one around. I was so wrong! Life is crazy and at times complicated. I’m always searching for way to get back time, simplify, and save money where I can.  

For years I’ve been grappling with the idea of starting a blog, mainly for myself because I love to write but also as a form of therapy to just put everything out there and maybe help someone else who finds their self in the same position. I like to live life to the fullest and not be stuck doing mundane things. So, feel free follow along on my journey as I navigate the chaos that is my life.    

Who am I? 

I’m Mandy. I’m a wife, a mom, a boss, a daughter, a sister and a friend. I love to travel, shop online, organize, work out and fix broken things in my house when I can. I’m always searching for hacks and life short cuts so I can spend my time doing something I want and love as opposed to doing something I have to or don’t like (here’s looking at you laundry). I’m a fairly blunt person with a dry sense of humor and I don’t deal with drama, period (unless your family and I have no choice). Life is short and I only get one shot at it. 

If my first ever post has intrigued you to stay tuned be sure to check back or find me on Instagram at @holi108. Eventually, I’ll get around to getting this website set up properly.
