Welcome to AHWH :) I am a mid-forties small business women who is just entering into that second phase of life. The phase where all my kids have almost moved on to their next adventure, and now I am looking at the question "What do I Want to be When They Grow Up?!" AHWH is about sharing that with you. The beginning stages of being an Empty Nester, what I want that to look like and making it up as I go. My hope is that I can share some fun stuff with you, and get to know you through this blog and social media.

I am on a mission to learn how to get more accomplished in a day, using a performance planner.

My goal is to find great Christmas presents for boys that don’t break my bank account! I find that I have great intentions but then generally tend to go over budget a little each year. Having a goal in mind, does help me keep my spending under control a bit better.

How much do you spend on each child for Christmas? Continue reading →

UPDATE: It is now August of 2023.

Molly still has the same bed and she still uses it every single day. This chew resistant dog crate bed is not chewed, torn, ripped or worn, and it has been almost 5 full years!

Back story:

Miss Molly got a new dog bed for her kennel/crate last week.

SHE LOVES THIS CRATE PAD!!!

Molly will actually wonder off and go snooze in her kennel now when the door is left open, so I know she’s happy with it too. Continue reading →
