I know,

it has been WAY TOO FREAKING LONG. But hey, I got a life and no one really reads this damn blog anyway! Anywhooo, I felt like I had some goals floating around in my head and the perfect way to figure them out and remember them all was to....obviously....blog about them!

 Life has been quite hectic lately....I began managing one day a week at my job, commuting out of town, and taking on more and more responsibilities. I'm hoping that working this hard will eventually get me to where I wanna be within this company. It's been a lot of fun, and I might love it all a little too much :) So my work goals right now are to continue managing, and possibly pick up another managing shift in my current location and maybe even manage a shift in my original location. I feel like I would really love taking a little action there. Eventually, I would love to get more into event coordinating, and hopefully that goal will be a little closer to being fulfilled this summer! Another factor in these "goals" is, of course, my higher ups!

On to other thangsss... I have been on a mish to buy a house! But at the same time, I really want to be stable in my living situation before I spend that much money and make a 30 year commitment. Seems pretty scary seeing as I'm not even 30 yet. My goal is to save $15,000 before I make a down payment. Gettin there....slowly, but surely. So for those of you that know I've been really serious about this, I haven't put it on the back burner yet, I'm just getting more prepared! Also, I need to up my income a little bit to get a better loan...so we'll see how long that takes me.

I am off to work, but I shall continue this laterrrrrr.

Maybe.

Chronicling the following: Unicorn Space, 75 Holistic, and being a new mom to two

 I feel like it's easy to create goals, but a lot harder to stick to them! You get caught up in the daily grind or something *happens* and you never get back into it (whatever IT may be).  I had a baby almost 3 months ago and I also have a 3 year old, so life is a little hectic and crazy. I also lost my dad about a year and a half ago and that was a huge mental load in many ways. Even though my baby is still young, I want to really start reaching the goals that I set for myself in order to 1. set a good example for my family, 2. be the best mama I can be (and I can only do that if I am participating in some self-care and making time for myself) and 3. well I mean who doesn't like accomplishing things? 4. be set up for success once life gets "easier"  To start, I am going to add journaling to my unicorn space goals. I want to do more than that, but I think it's a good way to get my creative juice flowing and I can figure out what I would like to do next. Ideas incl...

Britton Bigfoot Basecamp

 FUN NEWS!  We bought a pop up camper!  And we named her the Britton Bigfoot Basecamp. Eliza is currently obsessed with Bigfoot so it felt right. We did ask ChatGPT for some name suggestions, but Alex and I came up with this on our own! I told ChatGPT that we are a family of 4 with two young girls looking for a name for our new pop up camper. We love music and the outdoors, and our 3 year old loves Bigfoot! Some of my fave Chat suggestions were Pop goes the Brittons, Popped and Rocked, In Tune and In Tents, Off Key and Off Road, but Alex wasn't thrilled with them. Luckily, some of the Chat's suggestions inspired us to where we ended up!  We are going to chronicle our renovation of the pop up, which is luckily in amazing condition. We also want to try not to spend an exorbitant amount of money, so I think I'll also share what we are spending along the way.  First up is cleaning! I have spent about $40 on a cleaner that gets rid of mildew, a mop for cleaning the c...

Deodorant Review!

For quite a few years actually I have been on the hunt for the perfect deodorant. I decided to go with a natural and cruelty-free deodorant instead of an antiperspirant around 4 or 5 years ago. Deodorant is used to reduce odor using antibacterial ingredients and antiperspirant reduces odor and sweat by closing sweat ducts. Aluminum is the ingredient found in antiperspirants to block underarm sweat, and 4 to 5 years ago I believed that it could cause breast cancer and Alzheimer's. I have since researched it on my own, and found that while there is no conclusive evidence that the toxins found in most antiperspirants and deodorants are harmful to our health, why risk it? At the end of the day, I want to use as many natural & cruelty-free products and consume as much unprocessed foods as I possibly can.  An easy way to do that is by switching out my beauty products for ones that have as few ingredients as possible and GOOD ingredients that are all natural.  All natural a...
