Starting Out

Welcome to my blog!  My name is Amber i'm a 30 something married to Mario.  We currently reside in southeastern Pennsylvania right outside of Philadelphia. We rent currently but that hopefully will change within the year.  This blog is about journey, change and pressing on towards specific goals in our lives.

Living intentionally with purpose and saving money is important to me.  I am very intentional in the way that I live and purchase.  Our biggest goal right now is saving for a house and living in a way that is sustainable once we have purchased the house.

Eating clean is something else I am passionate about we're working on eliminating processed foods from our diet.  Surprisingly, these topics go arm in arm.

Here are some areas of interest:


Grocery Budgeting and Meal Planning.  I love Tiffany's blog from Don't Waste the Crumbs She was a huge catalyst for change and for reigning in my grocery budget.  We will also explore some Argentine recipes from my husband as well as some of my own.

Auto Repair - I am by no means an expert, I'm a DIYer but so far my husband and myself have tackled; brakes, spark plugs, changed power steering fluid and switched out an alternator.  I have a love hate relationship with auto repair.  I love saving money and the challenge that comes with taking something apart and putting it back together.  I hate that there isn't a clear cut guide when it comes to auto repair - I know I can complete the task as long as there is a guide.

Living Simply - While not a minimalist I have taken much inspiration from some ideas in the minimalist movement.  This has caused me to reevaluate my wardrobe, cleaning supplies, and closet among other things.

Like I said; surprisingly all of these things weave together in a pretty amazing way.  Happy reading!
