Please Help....

I know you have your own family and that it's not always easy to give money these days but here's a chance to DIRECTLY help save a child's life!




My wonderful friend, Trisha Knuth, and family are adopting a little boy, Seth, with severe Ep...idermolysis Bullosa. This rare disease occurs because of a missing protein that binds the two layers of skin together. The slightest bump or rub will cause skin to blister and fall off revealing wounds similar to 2nd and 3rd degree burns. Even the inside of the body is affected. EB children endure extreme pain daily. Seth currently lives in a group home and has never had a "constant" person that he can depend on to help him through his difficult life.



In order to adopt Seth, they need to build an home addition to meet his medical needs. Many are already donating their time/labor/skills but they need to raise money for building supplies.



For their story and how you can donate:

Trish is no stranger to EB as this will be their second adoption of a child with EB. When they adopted their first son, Charlie, they expected him to die. One year ago today, Charlie had a Stem Cell Transplant. He is one of the first children in the world with this disease that has ever seen such incredible results. No longer does skin fall off, they use 1/100th of the dressings that they used before, and he can enjoy life with out pain like a regular 5 year old boy should. This is why they are so hopeful and eager to adopt again and need your help!



Any amount will help! THANK YOU!

New year new me, new blog....

Its a new year....Every year I say I am going to do something and time gets away from me and I never do it...This year I have decided to become a better person all around. I want to be healthier and happier.  I want to not worry bout the petty things that I do that make me sad. I am tired of having these expectations and when they dont happen my way I am disapointed. SO here it is Blogging peeps...Tif is going to become healthy if it kills her..lol..Can skipping fattning fast food and calorie filled Starbucks really kill me? Well maybe...:) I took the first step last year ( like it was so far away) and quit smoking. Let me tell you, that was the hardest thing ever..OMG...Its been about 4 months and I still fear I could go back but I wont and I cant.  I started to work out but havent been as dedicated as I should be. That will change. I need to lose 30 lbs and have lost 12 but it could be so much better. I want to get to the point where I LOVE to work out. Working out at home sucks.  Its lonely and noone is watching me so I slack more then I would if I was in a class.  So, I am joining the YMCA.  Its so expensive but so worht it for the family..We can go swimming and do some fun things there.  Its the only gym around here with a daycare...Again I will be working out with complete strangers which scares the hell out of me but if I want to be skinny again then it is the price I have to pay...SOOOOO...Today marks the end of the old Tif...I had my Starbucks this morning and made peace with it..It is totally okay with me giving it up.  I made easy mac for lunch and said goodbye to yummy not good for you kids foods.  I did not go to Mc Donalds to say goodbye but after how much fast food I have had recently I am okay with not having it again for awhile....

Next...
I have taken on an amazing volunteer experience and I should be starting in early Feb.  There is an awesome non profit company that does Substance abuse counseling (well they do so much more too) free of charge for people on probation. I used to send clients who couldnt afford counseling there. So when I lost my job (blessing in disquise) I contacted them and asked them how I could help..So thats a fun adventure...

Next...Well I havnt came up with a next but I am sure I will soon....

My new dream bedroom

I am a cheap person, I wont deny that.  I like big fancy shiney things, I also wont deny that.  So how can you have all of these when you are poor and cheap?  Like this.....

So I have ALWAYS hated my bedroom. It wasnt a bedroom to me, it was just a room my bed was in. I hated going up there. It had wood paneling and just seemed like dead animals should be hanging on the walls.

You see we have a n attic bedroom and it is odd shaed and just dumb....SOOOOO.....

I got my butt in gear, came up with a plan, and I made it happen.  I now have an amazing bedrrom and I can not wait to get up there and go to bed....

Here is a peak...

I LOVE PINTEREST.....The furniture looks straight out of Pottery Barn...There really isnt anything I did not redo in my bedroom and I didnt go over $200...Go me...

Nighty night all...
