About The Author

Hi, I am Mandy and this is my virtual space where I share my family life experiences from motherhood, divorce, home building, travel and more! And by sharing our family fun, home projects and life experiences, I hope to inspire, help, or at the very least inform others on a similar journey. We are building my dream life in a small SWFL community called Babcock Ranch! As a mother of two, I am constantly balancing a full time career that is built around multiple revenue streams, family time, a healthy lifestyle and me/fun time for personal happiness. It has taken me years of ups and downs, wins and fails…but I have learned to always see my cup as half full (hence the domain). My most recent journey, and the evolving of this blog, is going from over $40,000 in debt inherited from a messy divorce to having a large savings & raising my credit score in order to purchase and build my dream home for my kiddos in four years. Proof that a goal, a plan, hard work and consistency do pay off!  Read More About Me.
