Every single Christmas season I make this statement
Why are we doing this?!?
I don’t like feeling pressured to give at this specific time. It’s as if December rolls around and now there is this expectation of spending two thousand dollars to please loved ones.

Hi Friends! The Marie Kondo way of life has made it’s way into homes all over the world! We have the Netflix series “Tidying up with Marie Kondo” to thank for the decluttering frenzy currently underway!
I wonder if you are one of the ones scurrying off to make piles of clothes that no longer “spark joy”? If so, – what are you going to do with that pile?

There is nothing like a vase of fresh flowers! Colorful blooms brighten up any space and if you are living somewhere where it is still snowing in April – The Flowers Bring Hope! Ever Saturday my fam bam takes a trip to Trader Joe’s and I sooo look forward to the trip.

I have officially completed day one of the No Spend Week Challenge! A week ago, I had $354 of “play” money left for the month and I knew that I would be spending a nice chunk of that celebrating the birth of my husband. I gifted him some new basketball shoes so he can pretend to be LeBron in his work league. 🙂 We also had some time together without our dependents (YAY)! My sister watched the kids and we got to catch up with some friends from our Alma Mater! Then later we went out for a yummy Sushi … Continue reading Money: January No Spend Challenge
Wow! We are officially halfway through the first month of the year! One of my goals for this year was to share how I live below my means and hold myself accountable. If you missed my first financial post – take a second to read it here so you can understand my approach to “Adulting on an Allowance”. I started off this month with an Adulting Allowance of $600 – the goal being not to spend beyond that amount. Anytime I have swiped my card for lunch, gas, or picked up a random item – I have quickly keyed the … Continue reading Money: January Adulting Allowance Check In
