When Times Get Rough...

Sometimes you can feel like you are as prepared as you will ever be, but then something out of the blue can strike when you least expect it.

Maybe you unexpectedly lost your job. Maybe a family member got hurt without a moment's notice. Or even worse, someone who you love and care for gets sick all of all a sudden and it strikes you so fast, so quick that you don't know how it even happened.

No matter how rough times are or times can be, there are resources that can help you and your family during tough times that otherwise make you want to give up. Financial troubles are an extremely hard time and I understand that these troubles can make you feel like your financial problems are snowballing out of control.

Have you ever felt like everything that could go wrong inevitably does during the worst possible times? I know for me just having someone to talk to and just let it all out will release a huge weight off of my chest.

You can also make a game plan. Sit down with paper and pen and make yourself a list. What are things that you can do to help your financial situation? Is there any way that you can make some money with resources that you have at home? A garage sale, selling some of your items that may be stored away on an online selling site, or possibly selling a talent that you may have? For example, photography, crafts, sewing expertise--these are all ways to help make some extra money to help out during a rough time.

Start your own home based company that will allow you to sell items to people. Perhaps in vector marketing, selling makeup, selling candles or even selling jewelry. These ways can be profitable especially if you live in an area that a lot of other people aren't trying to sell the same service that you want to.

No matter your situation, know that there are people and resources that are here to help you and that you are certainly not alone.

Pardon....

My blog will look like a hot mess for a few days...bear with me, please--I wanted to simplify it for awhile, so it may be looking bizarre for a few days.

Thanks so much!

Madelyn. My Own Sleep Ninja.

Madelyn has been fighting going to sleep lately.

She used to be my girl who would practically beg for bed.

Now it's a battle of her vs mommy vs sleep.

She tries every trick in the book.

More water.

Cover up.

Potty.

Stinky.

Fan on.

Fan off.

Once she realizes that I am not going to come to her room with all said requests she starts in with her Mo-mmeeeeee. MO-mmeeeeee. MO-MMEEEEEEEEE!

I know naps won't last forever, but girlfriend needs a nap. A day without naps in my home is equal to a day from hell.

Take my word on that one.

Really, Target?

I am such a sucker for Target.

Seriously.

As in no will power, browsing the aisles, and forgetting what all has been thrown into my cart type of sucker.

Because when one goes into said Target to buy one quick thing and leave with said thing along with:

 A new ladybug quilt for Bella. Which means I need to buy a new lamp and curtains now...

Two bottles of nail polish, one for me, one for the girls.

Two pairs of pink sparkly shoes for the girls.

And a remote control Strawberry Shortcake doll.

That my friends?

 Is the definition of a momma who is much too in love with a certain store.
