Year 2016 – New Year’s Revolution

I don’t know about anyone else but 2015 was a crappy year for us. Like seven plagues of Egypt crappy. There was the rain and hail storms that punched holes in our roof and siding.

Are New Year’s Resolutions Worth It?

It’s a brand new year and people every where are busily going about their New Year’s resolutions. They are going to the gym, attending church, being nicer to mom and building budgets.

Life Update: The Upside of Downsizing

downsizing

The last six weeks have been busy here at the CSS household. As most of you know, we’ve had some pretty big changes with my husband’s layoff  and my work hours being cut.
