It’s official, brushing my teeth is now my most hated have-to
The one thing I absolutely dread each morning is brushing my teeth. Now that I’m pregnant, each and every time I do this, I end up making an offering to the porcelain god.

Coffee and a blog.
It’s that time again. My morning coffee. Ahh..

What are Gazelle Chicks?
I was just thinking, and Chaka42 and the rest of you feel free to comment on this, but probably a lot of people out there are not real familiar with the meaning behind our blog title. It’s actually quite simple. We are all ladies who are really into saving money and budgeting. We have read and follow, and some of us even teach, the financial wisdom of Dave Ramsey.

We chicks are “Gazelle Intense” and actively trying to change our financial situation. We’re pretty happy with how it is going, and encourage others to learn more about money and finances so they can make smart decisions!
