Hi! My name is Elizabeth, and I am a working mama of one beautiful girl Olivia, who I am hoping to make more time for because she more than deserves it. My husband Rick and I both work full time in physical therapy because it brings us joy to help others and are trying our best to find our work life balance. Our focus is on our health and making memories with our daughter to last a lifetime. We enjoy traveling, the outdoors, painting (any crafting for me), and we are leaning toward a vegetarian lifestyle but have not achieved that yet. I also focus on saving money anywhere I can which is part of the reason I started this blog, because I love sharing my success to make others successful!
On our bucket list for traveling, we have Hawaii, Colorado, Ireland, Disney World with our daughter (we went on our honeymoon), and we are constantly adding to our list! I have been to Disney World a total of 5 times and have some tips and tricks to help save money and have a great time!
My husband and I both play golf which we don’t have as much time for now, so Rick got into disc golf with his brothers and somehow got Olivia and I to join in. It is a great sport to spend time outside but does not take too long and is easy to have a toddler tagging along. We take a wagon just in case she gets tired of walking, and she just loves the time spent outdoors. Olivia also loves gardening, and we have an outdoor container garden where we grow tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, herbs, sweet peppers, and jalapenos.
Olivia loves painting which is good for us because we love to instill creativity and join in. I love any crafting including sewing, scrapbooking, making party décor, and making vinyl decals with a Silhouette. Rick is a musician and plays guitar, so he is naturally creative and loves to do abstract painting so itis another family hobby we have picked up to spend time together doing.
On our health journey we have found that I am sensitive to gluten and Rick needs high fiber because he has Diverticulosis so because of this we have gone to eating vegetarian more frequently. There are some really great flavorful recipes, and we actually are enjoying trying new things. That doesn’t mean we don’t go out to eat at our favorite restaurants now and then because it’s all about the balance in life!
We have an amazing life with our ups and downs just like everyone else, but I like to share things that I learn and thought this would be the perfect avenue to do so. I hope with this journey inspires or helps everyone that comes across it in some way.
