My New Kitchen!! Phase 1 - Ever since moving into my home my husband and I have talked about adding cupboards in our kitchen. In my opinion you can never have enough counter top or cupboard space!   Recently thanks to our tax refund check and a hefty Christmas gift from my father we were able to finally extend out the cupboards and counter tops in my kitchen. This is the first step in a long list of things we are hoping to do this summer...but I must say I was so excited to finally get it done! This is what the space looked like before. When guests would come over for dinner I would put up a folding table in that gap where we could place the food. But other then that there was just an empty gap there.... This is my husband cutting away the base board. We needed to get rid of that so that the cupboards would fit evenly with the other ones that were already there.    While my husband was cutting away the base … [Read more...]

I Got a Visit from The Fairy Hobmother! The Fairy Hobmother is at it again. This time on my blog! YAY! I was very surprised by The Fairy Hobmothers visit. It is nice to wake up to an unexpected surprise that brings joy to your heart. It also got me to thinking about ways that I can give back to others and help bring joy to the hearts of others just like The Fairy Hobmother did for me. “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” ~Winston Churchill 1. Look someone in the eye and smile. This may seem like a little thing. But when I make eye contact with a stranger I always give a smile. Who knows what things they may be feeling or going through that day. I know a simple smile from someone always makes my day a little brighter. 2. Volunteering - This may seem a little harder to do for some. Maybe you don't think you have the time or you don't know where to go or how to get started. Just a simple phone call to your local library, animal shelter, … [Read more...]

Today I have many great and wonderful things to be Thankful for. Although, I must admit I did not know how I was going to feel when I woke up this morning. Today is my 29th birthday. Last year when I turned 28 it was pretty emotional for me as I know the big 3-0 is coming up soon. Today as I woke, I felt at peace with being 29. Every age is a wonderful learning experience. This past year being 28 was a good year and I am very excited for what's to come with age 29!! Plus I get to spend the day with my little girl and my husband will be home tonight! Happy Birthday to me! … [Read more...]

I recently received a new calling in Church! I am so excited for this new adventure being in the Primary Presidency. I must admit that I will miss teaching Gospel Principals but I look forward to whats to come! One of my first tasks being in the Primary Presidency was to create an invitation to Priesthood Preview. We decided on an Armor of God theme and I was ecstatic to see what I could come up with. My first thought was I wanted to find a scripture that went along with their big step in their life. Since the theme is Armor of God I found a shield clip art image from here. After I put D&C 13:1 in the shield I glued it onto a piece of blue 4x6 cardstock. Next I glued the blue cardstock onto a black notecard. The last step I needed to do was find another cute Armor of God clip art image for the inside. I came across this image. It fits perfectly with the theme! Then of course I had to add the informational text. After it was printed I cut it out and glued it on … [Read more...]

I can not believe that March with mark the 4th Birthday of Heavenly Savings. WOW! Where does the time go? To be honest when I started this blog I really did not expect it to grow as much as it has. I also did not anticipate all of the long hours that would to into blogging. I never realized how much work goes on behind the scenes and at times I feel like I am struggling to keep my head above water. With SEO, social media, pitching companies, writing articles, staying up on deals and coupons, thousands of emails a day, etc.... it is hard to keep up on the blog as well as everything else I have to do in my day to day life as a wife and mother. Recently I have been studying hard on methods to keep up in the blogging world. I am so far behind on how to 'properly' use G+, Pinterest, Facebook and twitter and if anyone looked at my email inbox you would want to run and hide as soon as you seen how many emails I still have unopened.... Today I ran across this site that talked about a … [Read more...]

  So I bet some of you might be wondering where the posts have been recently! Well my little brother graduated this past weekend and so my family and I took a little trip to Wyoming to see him get his degree! It was a special time. My brother has been at this college for the past 4 years and sadly this was the first time I ever drove the 6 hour road trip to visit him. Of course my first road trip had to be a snowy mess...but hey....I live in Colorado so I am supposed to be used to this right? Colorado needs this snow badly..but it was not fun to drive in.... Here is my hubby and I during our little Vacation.... Congrats to my little brother Travis! I am so proud of you!!! … [Read more...]
