Hello everyone! As my Instagram bio says, you can sum me up in about five words: believer, wife, writer, and coffee drinker. But of course, there’s so much more to me than I could ever fit in an Instagram bio! At the ripe age of 22 I married my high school and college sweetheart, Bryan. He’s the dictionary definition of a sweetheart and he’s also the world’s best husband. He cleans all the time (like more than me) and he’s on top of all things responsibility! I don’t think I could adult without him, he’s just the best.

​

I currently work in marketing for a university, and I also really enjoy creating relevant content and blog posts that real people can relate to. I have also discovered a passion for health and wellness, and I do my best to be a positive influence in the lives of others through the way I show up for myself and share my journey. In my free time I love scouring for the best recipes, spending time in the great outdoors with family, decorating our home, and relaxing on the couch with my hubby and a cup of coffee.

​

Bryan and I got married in October of 2017 and quickly realized the importance of keeping track and managing finances. Our goal was to get serious about our finances in hopes of moving up our home-buying timeline a few years. After some serious planning and budgeting, we purchased our first home just 10 months into marriage! We just couldn’t stand the idea of continuing to throw money away on rent any longer than we had to!

 

All of that to say, that’s really what started this desire to live frugally and KEEP TRACK of it. That’s the huge part. Anyone who knows me knows that I’ve always been a saver. I absolutely hate spending money, and I have since I was a kid! But I’ve never actively tried to keep track of it or manage a budget…until I married Bryan. Once we sat down and laid everything out, it made saving with a goal in mind make sense!

 

That’s where this blog comes in! I decided to take our money saving tips and tricks and show everyone how we apply them and how we navigate this crazy life on a budget. It all starts with a cup of coffee on the couch.

​

So, all that to say, I am putting myself way out of my comfort zone in hopes of using this blog as a creative outlet where I can also share all things food, lifestyle, and budgeting! Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope you find it helpful in some way!
