Fun and Free Places to go in Houston!!

          B efore our van Chevy was fixed we were living in a room planning what we would do when we finally got the funding to do it. Everything led up to fixing the van and traveling, but before we got moving I wanted to see what Houston had to offer. What could we do here that wouldn't cost much and still be fun? I went to work googling and found out that the museums are free on Thursday. So we planned our day and hopped on Metro! We ended up going to the Museum of Natural Science first since it was closing at 5, there we got a chance to see the dinosaurs and a lot of other fun things and facts. Once it closed we went to the Children's Museum, where the kids got to explore a lot of things like the first telephone and Gullah Gullah Island. Overall money spent 2.00 for the bus ride. We brought our own food and had a picnic at the museum. It was in all, a great time. Here are some pics for your enjoyment. ...

Newbie Nomads: Update on #Vanlife!!

        O ur first week of Vanlife!! The first 2 days of the week were spent in a church parking lot and a truck stop in Centerville, when we finally arrived at Lake Limestone we were relieved and excited to be away, we spent 7 days of free parking, free lights, no water bill, no gas bill, just petro for the tank! We had a great time actually, it was an experience for all of us. We met some pretty nice people who were also a part of the alternative living lifestyle. We had a hard time situating ourselves in the van we hadn't figured it out. In all it was a nice time, we plan on going back and actually spending the entire 14 days. For future reference and anyone reading, the name of the lake is Lake Limestone in Groesbeck, Tx, there is a 14 day max stay, it was quiet and peaceful. The police came by to do a routine check up, we got a chance to test our solar lighting and set up another way so that all of us could fit comfortably.    We purchased t...

#Vanlife finally! Vanlife newbies!!!!!

      #Vanlife!!!!! Finally!! This is our van, a 1992 Chevy G20 Series. We bought this van back in November of 2017, for $340 from a guy on Craigslist. He said that all it needed was a fuel pump and clean gas. We didn't have enough money to get it towed to the mechanic so we ended up leaving it there. He told us not to leave it there for months, but we kept in close contact with him to let him know what was happening in our lives. Over the time we moved to Conroe with a so called friend, we were having so much bad luck, so we ended up moving there for a month. As time passed,we noticed a change in attitude, we were coming off more money than we'd expected, and didn't have, but that's a totally different post I'll speak on it later. Anyway during the time of our move I had to withdraw Ziggy from school, his favorite school, his only school. I didn't know how that would be, but it sparked our homeschooling, so that felt good. Being able to spend time with them th...

Dont Talk to Police

I have decided to begin a new journey....smoothies!!! I finally hopped on the scale today and honestly I was unhappy with that number... very unhappy!  So I decided to do something about it!  I have decided to drink smoothies!  I mean all the time for every meal.  I have to cut back on everything and live a better healthier life, not for me but for those 2 beautiful boys. My fiance says, I'm awesome, and I know this, but I think it is time for me to live healthier..... no more eating crappy foods, processed junk and all that other I-taste-so-good-but-will-clog-your-arteries junk gotta go!!  Join me on my journey!!  I know it will be hard so I am gonna use a whole lot of prayer and my groovy blog as a way to keep me motivated to continue.  I am not gonna give myself I time frame to lose weight I am just gonna do it.  It is something I have to do!

My most awesome must haves!!!!

.... Recently I have noticed that there are a couple of things in my makeup drawer that I use more than others...so I appointed them to the must have category and decided to share them with my readers!!!! All of the things on my list can be purchased at any local store, my favorite eye shadow so far has been by Wet n' Wild. The colors are so bold and vibrant! I just love them, so I try to keep up with their eye shadows and so far the brand I use the most. I find myself not having to apply an under coat of primer on my eyelids for the color to stand out and pop, just right. I would have to give my awesome Wet n' Wild eye shadows two thumbs up!! If you want to check them out, you can find Wet n' Wild at any Walgreens, Walmart, and other stores that carry cosmetics. Here are the ones I love the most, from neutral palettes to bold and intense Wet n' Wild  can cover it I have had no issues with the products so far and truly don't plan on having any!!! ===>       ...
