To start out with today, I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who commented or reached out after reading my post on anxiety on Monday. I had debated writing something on anxiety for a very long time but I hadn't worked up the courage to share it so publicly. As much…
This month's guest post comes not from another blogger, but someone I've known through Facebook for a year and a half since I first started my "No Spend November" challenge back at the end of 2017. This past January, she let us all know in the group that she would be embarking on a pantry…
When I got the opportunity to write a guest post for JD Roth over at Get Rich Slowly, I knew it was time to finally put to paper the idea for a post that had been marinating in my head for quite some time. So often we hear people talking about what they consider to…
The guest posts I've featured so far this year have so far all been sustainability and zero waste focused, which has been my intent since Budget Epicurean pitched me the idea for the first one. Today's post, on the other hand, is about a topic that often overlaps with those but is really its own…

I had been toying with the idea of starting to share a few guest posts on this blog when my friend Budget Epicurean reached out to me with the post she wrote on her journey toward zero waste. It was an absolute perfect fit for this blog and solidified that I absolutely wanted to start…
The first year of this blog, I decided that I would write every single post that I published here myself in order to create a blog I felt was all my own. However, I planned to start accepting a few guest posts after that one year mark, as long as they fell into the same…
If you haven't yet heard about Chief Mom Officer's Women on FIRE series, it is an awesome list of Wednesday posts featuring women who are pursuing FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early). In a part of the internet where it seems like most of the big stories center around the men pursuing financial independence, Liz at…
