It's OK

It's ok....

that I had an interview yesterday.....I do not dress like this except for interviews and I had absolutely nothing to wear. Luckily Kim helped me come up with this.

Nothing too fancy, but it got the job done.

and I have another interview next Wednesday!

that I took the kids to the dam yesterday, but it was too hot to stay longer than 20 minutes.

(I'm a summer nanny...for those of you who don't know)

Next time, I'll go prepared with my bathing suit on too!

It's such a fun place to go!!

that even though I don't have a baby, I'm loving this little onsie.

that I have 3 different beach trips scheduled over the next month-ish!

Can you ever really spend too much time at the beach?

that it's almost the weekend...and I have big plans!

Happy Thursday lovelies!

Elizabeth from Fearless and Frugal

{About Me} Hey everyone! My name is Elizabeth and I’m a 20-something recent college grad getting ready to start grad school. I love writing, trying new things and saving money (who doesn’t, right?) I’m obsessed with organizing, drinking coffee and listening to country music. I have a newfound love for the outdoors, old movies, crafting and cooking. I’m a yoga enthusiast and have just recently started Pilates (which I love!).

{About My Blog} After the summer of 2011 I found myself with an overwhelming number of credits to take my final year of college so I had to quit my job of 2+ years. Although I had spent my entire summer working and taking classes, I still found time to shop, vacation and spend way too much money. At the end of the summer I was hit with a wake up call -- despite all the hours I had put in at work, my bank account was devastatingly low. I realized I couldn't spend like I had been any longer.

Now I’m finding it more important than ever to save money. I thought that by starting my blog, I could share my tips and tricks I've developed and learned along the way to help others who were living on a budget, or just trying to save a buck or two here and there! I am by no means an expert (I'm studying history and then going on to grad school to be a teacher), but I have developed and adapted a lot of tricks that work for me. I also want to offer a few health, beauty, fitness and other tips as well! Come visit me at Fearless & Frugal! :)

Memorial Day Weekend

I spent the Memorial Day weekend in North Alabama for the Alabama Jubilee-Hot Air Balloon Festival. I spent time with my sister, Colin, Eli (brother-in-law) and his family. I am good friends with his sister and I've known his family for several years so I just felt like part of the family.

We drove up Friday afternoon. We spent from about 9-5 every single day at the pool and Friday night we went to the Alabam Jubilee.

Chill out dude...love this little guy!

I had my Sonic Vanilla Coke....so yummy!
