Need a book to read?! 📚⁠⠀
⁠⠀
12 of my all time favorites are on the blog. If you are looking for a romance novel or thriller, you will be disappointed 😂⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I'm all about the empowering, self-help books. Not sure what that says about me?! 😂⁠⠀

Raise your hand if you are working from home 🙋🏼⁠ (my 3PM slump will be coming on shortly) 😅⁠
⁠
I'm very grateful to still be able to work through this pandemic. I know there are others who have not been as fortunate.⁠
⁠
Even though I've worked from home for over 2 years, I refuse to give you #WFH tips 😂 See post of me leaning on a pole in a jean jacket & leggings lol.⁠
⁠
What I CAN provide are #homeoffice tips. Today on the blog, I"m sharing my top 10 office essentials.⁠

Good morning all you cool cats & kittens. It's Miranda from thoughtfullythrifted 🦁⁠
⁠
Let's be real here, Carol killed her husband and #JoeExotic aka #TigerKing was just a struggling influencer 🤷🏼‍♀️⁠
⁠
I can relate, Joe. All this time creating content and nothing to show for it 🤣🤣🤣⁠

Shared my plans for our new dining room in stories

Shared my plans for our new dining room in stories! Along with the great dining table debate... My heart is set on one from crateandbarrel buts it's 💰💰💰⠀
⠀
I only shared the prices of the two tables we are looking at to help you weigh that into your decision as you voted. ⠀
⠀
Let's just say there were some messages in my DMs about the price tags 😬⠀
⠀
I get it. You all know we are trying to pay off debt and put ourselves in a better financial situation. You guys rock for holding me accountable!⠀
⠀
The good news is, we are WELL on our way to where we want to be. I don't say that to brag, keep reading...⠀
⠀
Our main goal is to be completely debt free, minus our house, by the time Andrew's student loans kick in (we still have over a year before they do).⠀
⠀
We have paid off over $65k in debt over the last 10 months! 😳 3 maxed out credit cards, a personal loan, and 6 student loans of mine.⠀
⠀
We only have one tiny $2,800 student loan left and my undergraduate degree is paid in full. We already paid off my MBA a couple of weeks ago 👏🏼⠀
⠀
My only other outstanding debt is my car, Andrew's car and my mortgage. That's it! 🤗 ⠀
⠀
The number one thing that has allowed us to do that was removing the root cause of the debt - Spending more than we make. ❌⠀
⠀
In the past, we would have simply charged the new dining room table to a credit card (how we bought the $700 table in this photo) or took out a same as cash loan from the retailer (how we bought our last sectional). This behavior was how we got into debt in the first place!⠀
⠀
We kissed that lifestyle goodbye after our wedding put us into financial distress & it's given us space to breathe, put money away and save for big purchases.⠀
⠀
It's easy to look at influencers and think they have all the money in the world, but I've been trying my best to be very transparent with you guys about where we are financially. I take great pride in that!⠀
⠀
One of the many reasons I feel motivated to share our #debtjourney and TRUE financial situation so publicly is to give others HOPE that crawling out of deep debt is possible.⠀
⠀
Thank you for being an incredible support system on our journey! 🖤 Seriously, means the world to u

A Doctor's Wife:⁠ ⁠ We woke up around 6 times

A Doctor's Wife:⁠
⁠
We woke up around 6 times last night to Andrew's pager going off. The harsh alarm makes my heart beat fast.⁠
⁠
Coughs, headaches, injuries, panic attacks. My sleeping husband yawns, talks to EMS, sends in medication to the 24/7 pharmacy.⁠
⁠
I woke this morning to puppy cuddles, not husband cuddles. I'll see him again around 5:00PM.⁠
⁠
I hope he's able to wear a mask, stay healthy and help the families in our community 🖤⁠

⁠

It's Friday folks. I'll be having a drink or 5 🍷 (not in this kitchen because I don't own it anymore) lol.⁠
⁠
Andrew is working non-stop, so PLEASE give me some ideas for what the heck to do in our temporary house this weekend 😫 ⁠
⁠
The longer I'm forced to live here, the greater the chances I start tearing out the nasty carpet (the house is owned by the hospital so that is completely NOT allowed) 😂⁠
