One year ago Friday, I hit publish on a blog post that I had been turning over in my head for months. I thought it was something that could really add to the conversation in the personal finance space at a point where big time bloggers were publishing their selections of other money bloggers to…
The kiddo was home sick again at the start of the week, so I stayed and worked from home on Monday. He was feeling bad enough that he just laid in bed watching shows all day, so I actually got quite a bit of work done. While I hate seeing him sick, I sure do…
Welcome to another week of the Women’s Personal Finance Wednesdays roundup. I started this series after months of debate because I wasn’t certain I wanted to up the ante and commit to publishing three posts a week.

Well, we're now a few days into the new year and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with myself since I've yet to write 2018 (though that will probably change now that I've jinxed myself here). I'll take my success where I can since I have yet to create any kind of goals or…

The 76k Project posted her top twelve posts for 2018 just before Christmas, and I had such a fun time reading through them to see which were her most popular (and to go back and read the ones I hadn't yet) that I decided I wanted to do a similar post myself. Going back to…
