A girl’s puberty is a very big time in her life. It can literally make or break an event or situation.  Although this is a big moment in their life, most girls go through a lot because of all the new things they are experiencing. One of the things that a young girl experiences with the coming of puberty is the beginning of a lack of confidence. When it came to my two daughters this was something they dealt with as well.

This is why I created these Three Different Versions of the 52 Week Money Challenge Printable.

I’m happy this year our annual Holiday Gift Guide will be a little different. These changes came because we wanted to do some good. We were very selective with the items we added to our gift guide. The toys we accepted will be going to some very special and well deserving children. Children from our local Military Family support group. These children, as well as my own, have spent Christmases without a Parent due to being Deployed during the Holidays. Needless to say, we set the bar extremely high with what we wanted to recommend and gift to these children. I was besides myself when Jakks Pacific toys offered to send us items for The Perfect Holiday Gift Ideas for Every Disney Princess.

Looking for Something Specific?

Hi!
Welcome to our little world!
My name is Lily, I am a Mommy to 6 kids; and wife to a US Navy Sailor of 15 years. We are a typical Family trying to live the American dream, and though my son’s Autism and my Husband’s PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) sometimes try to dampen our mood; we try our hardest to push through it and keep on movin’!

I absolutely LOVE blogging, sharing our life, and our adventures; whether good or not so good.

Our Family went through what WE hope is the worst week ever a year and a half ago, and tragedies continued to hit our Family for a while.
In 4 days, our car was totaled, our house broken into, and our house caught on fire. We are literally having to start over from scratch.
