It’s 2020, and now, more than ever, people can have any career or be anything they want to be. Gone are the days of only having run-of-the-mill, corporate, 9-5 jobs. The days of working outside the proverbial box (cubicle?) are here with flexible hours, remote, self-driven, and entrepreneur opportunities. Who knows what the work world […]
The beginning of a new year always provides the feeling of a fresh start (mingled with the “post-holiday slump,” but that’s another post). I wish I could go all KonMari on my house, but in this season of motherhood with young children–including a newborn–that’s just not feasible. (I do feel validated that Marie Kondo herself […]
I have decided to embark on a “No Spend January.” Before you decide I am crazy, dismiss me, and go on your way… let me explain. See, I am not one for resolutions – I am a bit cynical about “new year, new you” type things. But I have been feeling the weight of the […]

Somewhere down the line, we buried ourselves in comfort clothes, especially the black leggings, which are […]

My wallet and I vow to do better every year, and most years we fail. Christmas is supposed to be a time of giving. But for me, it is a time of empty wallets and “unique budgeting.” You know the kind of budgeting I’m talking about…..robbing Peter to pay Paul. Yea, these aren’t my proudest […]
The holidays are here, and this is the time you celebrate time honored traditions with your extended family.
