Self Matters!!

For some of you, you know that's the title of a Dr. Phil book... but it's a route I am taking also. I have cracked open the book which I bought over the weekend. And will walk you along my doings that relate to the book as well.
And on a personal note... I bought myself a car!! You bought yourself a car? you might say. But it's the first step to a new me. I am a queen at Procrastination...I live a 15 minute walk away from the closest transit, so just alone leaving the house is a task on it's own. Don't think I am an anti-social... because once I am out, I just can't seem to get back into the house. I want to do everything and see everything on my one outing.
I am doing a study in Me first... so the car was a gift to me. To tell me there are things to work for; that perhaps a visual of being able to afford and use can domino an effect of self righteousness I don't know what will.
So I am proud of my new car and well my new reading material... I am going to use them both to their fullest potential... Hopefully it works and I'll get more done as the result to my mental change for the better!

Paying the bills!!!

So today, I rectified all my bills... it cost me a personal fortune but they have been payed and cleared... til next month. Which takes me to the matter of making a Budget. Not what you think... I am not putting myself in a financial diet... Put it would be nice to see what kind of money comes in and what goes out. My goes it is my biggest dilemma... my mother calls it my debits and my credits- a bank lingo she has never been able to let go of.

Not only was my bill paying a dilemma today, my husband to help us save some money bikes to work daily... it's the summer and the warmth for the few months allows us to save a buck. Well this afternoon as he is heading to the bank he goes outside to leave with the bike only to realise someone has walked into our backyard and stole our bike.

Not that our bike was an expensive one, but the fact that as a mother of two small and precious babies... what a scary thought of someone just entering the backyard in the middle of the day.

Day 1

Welcome to my world....
I thought today was the best day to start the rest of my life... I have always been a bit of an ambitious fool. One thing led to another and I am a 28 y.o. mommy of 2 under 2, with a passion for Fashion a flare for the Business and an ability to NON-budget with the worse of them out there.
So the reason I find myself here... I have been dreaming up my own business for a long time now, I went through the nightmare to refinance my mortgage to get a loan to pursue my endeavours and realised I have NO credit... not bad credit just none to speak of.
I want to be a role model... I guess it would be a nice vision... to be the person your kids look up to the most... someone they aspire to be.

I've been reading a lot of blogs lately and really been inspired... you'll see a lot of kudos to posts that make me want to do more, think more, save more, budget more and in general be a better me while working to the bigger goal of being a Momprenuer. So as I said early on, Welcome to the wild roller coaster I call my life.
