Here’s a little about me because I know you want to know….

First and foremost, I live to serve God. I often fall short, but I constantly am striving to be obedient to Him and His calling.

I’ve been married for 12 years to my best friend. He’s an incredible guy that puts up with encourages all my ambitions. 100_4589-3I am a mama to 4 awesome kids. Three of my kiddos were belly born and 1 was born into our family through adoption.

This fall, I am stepping into the wild and crazy world of homeschooling. I will have 3 in public school and 1 at home. Walking both roads will be an interesting journey.

I also blog as Flamingo Mama at my personal blog called 1 Crazy Journey. There I share my candid thoughts , the crazy antics of my kiddos, and the happenings of this crazy journey called life.

I am pretty much a simple normal gal. I love to read, write and spend time with family and friends. However, I also am passionate about finding a bargain and living frugally.

My hope with this blog is that at least 1 other mama will be able to find some inspiration to live life spending less. I definitely am not perfect at what I do. In fact, I really will be learning right along with you. However, I hope that my failures will be a “lesson learned” and even an encouragement.

I feel very blessed with everything God has provided me. Living frugally is just one way I can honor Him and my family.

I am so glad you stopped by! If you can hang around for awhile, I look forward to getting to know you. There’s nothing like doing this thing called life together.

  1. Popping in from the Relevant 11 Meet and Greet. Sounds like you are a busy lady! Frugality is an area where my world could definitely use some inspiration. It sounds painful. Maybe I need to learn to see it as a challenge instead of as a discipline? Looking forward to meeting you at Relevant.

  3. So I want to know where the "flamingo" part in your blog name comes from. Is there a great story behind that? :)

    I'm here from the Relevant link-up - looking forward to meeting you in October!

  4. Jumping in from the Relevant linky thing ... finally! See you in October (unless you can make the pre-Relevant meet-up in Lancaster ... at least I think I remember a tweet that said something about being a PA girl).
