Why is my bank charging me to use my debit card??

Yes, my blog has another flavor that's not part of the bland 30beforeThirty project (or spicy as it has been this week with the Enchilada Pasta!)... it's the banking/finance part that I promised I was going to to talk about when I started this blog. So, I'm going to try to explain the recent appearance of debit/check card fees since I seem to be entertaining that question at least a dozen times a day for the last few weeks.

Chicken Enchilada Pasta

Another Pinterest find! Super easy and my husband (ok and I) LOVED it! I was a little nervous about the green chile sauce because it definitely does not look appetizing, but all mixed together it was pretty yum-o-rific. I'm not even going to rehash the recipe because her instructions are insanely easy. Enjoy!

DIY: wreath

OK, so Pinterest has really inspired me to do about a million DIY projects around the house.  SO! I took my first attempt at one this weekend. It's a yarn wreath and I have to say, I'm pretty stinkin' proud about the way it turned out. I bought a styrofoam wreath about 4 sheets of felt and two spools (is that the right word?) of yarn.

Mondays Motivation

This is my last full week of work at the branch. I'm so excited to start my new position, and I'm sure it shows. I've been sharing the good news with several clients and I'm feeling more and more like my happy former self every day. I will surely keep praying that this job will be the blessing it looks like it is when I start next Thursday.
Have a great week everyone!

Motivation and a check off my list!

A little late this morning... hell, for the past few weeks. I've been really tired and unmotivated, BUT I'm back to blogging and really want to get some items checked off my list in the next few months. So here's my motivation for the week.

#5 Baked chicken with California Mashers

OK, so I'm cheating. I've made this chicken before and it's ridiculously easy... but I haven't made it in a long time and I've never made the mashers before... so there!
