Today marks three full years since I started writing this blog. I hope/plan to have a post dedicated to it soon, but just in case (since I've slowed down on Monday posts for now), I wanted to acknowledge it here on a Friday as well. I started this blog for the accountability, but it's grown…
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. However, now that I’ve started sharing these posts, I’m so glad I started. There are so many fabulous…
Well, I think I had some unfounded hope at the last quarterly update back in April that things would be more back to normal by now, but they clearly aren't. COVID cases here in the United States are higher than ever, and I'm concerned what 4th of July gatherings are going to do to them…

While I clearly don't have a large family, I grew up in one (I'm the oldest of four children and my grandmother has lived with my parents since I was a baby). While my parents were frugal to a degree, ecofrugality wasn't a huge focus when I was a kid. We learned about nature and…
I spent last weekend completely off social media, and 95% offline, including archiving my Women's Personal Finance Facebook group from Friday afternoon to Monday morning (meaning the group was still "there" but frozen to new posts/comments/etc until I reopened it). I've been pretty overwhelmed lately, and the weekend felt like a really important reset, and…
