YouTube's people

I love watching YouTube videos. I love watching peoples vlogs and videos they make. I have a few people I've watched forever, but it is so sad to see how money changes people. I was going through the annual back to school videos. (I want all the school supplies) and I look at all the stuff they are giving away and just buying because it's cute. Most of these people are in their early 20s literally buying 1000s of dollar worth of school supplies to earn followers and likes.

It makes me wonder about all the moms and dads ouut there scraping by to just by their kids the bare minimum. I remember wanting the lisa Frank folders and the colorful pens. I did not grow up poor but I certainly was not wealthy & I remember being allowed 1 pretty folder and the rest were the ones my mom could get for 25cents.  I totally understand it's their money they worked for it...but damn I feel like maybe going into target and seeing a mom shopping for her kid right there and then and buying the supplies she needs would help out so much more.

It makes me wonder would I be humble like that if I won or came into a lot Of money.  I would like to think I would pay off all our debt, give my parents enough to pay off their debt and then put enough away for my son's college and enough for retirement. If there's any leftover what would I do with it? I think I would spend it on travel and hopefully as I'm traveling I would be able to do something good with the leftover money.

That being said my ass just entered everyone of those back to school giveaways because I want a new laptop so bad. 😂

5 Things That Help Me Be Productive

So this is gonna be one of those post/blog that maybe someone will get some use out of. Sometimes I feel so bad because I don't do anything. I don't work or go to school. I just stay home and take care or my kid. (Let's be honest though daycare is way to much) anyway, I can tell when I haven't been productive because I feel sluggish and useless and I really get depressed. So these are things I do that hopefully you can do to help you. 10: GET A PLANNER: Now before you say I have nothing to write in a planner,  I don't ever actually use it, or i use it for like a month and then never touch it again. I did everyone of those things above.  9.  WRITE WHAT YOU DO IN A DAY IN THAT PLANNER: it helps me feel so much more productive by just actually using the planner. I write every mundane thing down. Like I took shower, I did the dishes, I read in my book. And by the end of the week I can see everything I did. Sometimes just taking a shower is an accomplishment for me som

Perfect Days

Perfect days are so rare and so wonderful when they happen. It's a beautiful sunny 75 degrees and a breeze is blowing to keep you cool. I worked out in the garden, went into town and paid bills, got a few toys for my kid, got the yard mowed, took a shower, my child is napping, it's not hot...i could go on and on about how wonderfully simple the past few days have been. It's funny how things change. It's the little things that make me so happy now. Like seeing how happy your husband is when you tell him you snagged him tickets to pkemongofest before they sold out. These days are amazing, but I can't help think what makes them amazing is my sanity in knowing we have structure in our lives. A routine that is so common and would bore anyone else is where my happiness comes from. I live for it...the clothes are put away, the kitchen is clean, the cats are healthy, I just want to come back and read this when their aren't perfect days to remind myself that it's no

A bookish blog

You ever just randomly started a book and  got so into it you just couldn't put it down. I love reading. I always have and I'm fairly certain I always will. If someone could put the smell of a fresh new inked book in a candle you can bet I would own every one. Reading a book is literally the one thing nobody can take away from me. I can imagine the story how I want it. It takes you places you've never gone. Historical fiction and contemporary love stories are my favorite right now. It's like entering into a new world and having new friends. I wish everybody read just so I could discuss books with them. I would love to just have a reading party. Bring your favorite book, comfiest pjs, and your favorite beverage and just read until you fall asleep. Reading right before bed is the best because my dream will usually relate to the book I've just read. I would love to do book reviews, but there is just to much difference of opinions out there for that. Cheap used books
