Welcome!

Hello :)

I have decided to start a blog. Mainly because my sanity is slowly dripping away, hopefully writing my feelings, what I do at home and etc will keep my spirits up! A little background to begin!

I'm Sarah. 22 years old and a mother of a beautiful baby girl, Olivia Grace, whom will be 1 years old on the 20th of next month (October!). I'm also a happily-married woman to Dusten, 24 years old, and we currently live in a rental house in Manor, Texas (15 miles outside of Austin.) We moved from an apartment in the middle of the city to a 3,000 sq foot house in the middle of nowhere! I am still adapting and getting used to it.

I am a stay at home mother and my husband works at a charter school as an I.T. Specialist. He takes our only car so I am car-less during the day. It's hard to try to find activities to do with Olivia, especially since most of the time it is a scorcher outside. When she naps or plays independently, I try to find different activities online or blogs to help, even couponing and finding freebies! A couple of my favorite freebie websites are

Hip2Save Freebies

Money Saving Mom Freebies

Of course, I enjoy Groupon and LivingSocial. My husband and I actually tried a sushi place downtown Austin a couple of weekends ago because I have purchased a $15 for $30 worth of food and in the end with all of the extras we had, we ended up paying an extra 20 out of pocket. Not too bad for some good sushi in the heart of downtown Austin!

I will be posting a couple of activities daily that my daughter and I do, and possibly some rants and raves and many praises!

Right now, Olivia won't take a nap in her crib. Fussing away. Have a good day, ya'll!
