Hello out there in blog land.  My name is Marta and I am so excited to share with you some of the things that cross my mind from time to time.  I am a working mom in the south using my talents and ingenuity to have the life of my dreams on a budget.

They say the first step is always the hardest, it's more like a leap of faith. So here I go taking that giant leap and getting the first post out of the way.

I live in Tiger Country with my husband and two handsome boys. By Tiger Country I mean LSU Tigers, yes that's right I bleed purple & gold.  This is a beautiful part of the country with majestic oak trees, amazing food & music, and good people at every turn.  I have lived in a few other places but this is by far my favorite. 

My husband is what I call the good baptist boy from central Louisiana and I am that crazy catholic Italian girl from down south, and some how the two of us came together to create the most amazing family. We are raising two boys eight years and eight months and we are truly blessed.

As you have no doubt surmised I am the only girl in this house, heck even the dog is a boy.  But I am okay with that, it makes me the queen of my makeshift castle. I wouldn't know what to do with a fancy girl anyhow.

So please do come by from time to time, I am looking forward to sharing all the wonderful things that help make this house a home, and this family the greatest blessing and one I have always dreamt of.
