So our marriage is now officially a teenager. We got married really young, so we’ve been married well over a third of our lives at this point. Wild that we thought we were grown enough to make that decision when we did, but I’m so happy we did. Our life is a good one, love,…
Happy Friday, all. Everything I've been writing lately has been extremely angry and depressing, and while I absolutely feel those things, I'm going to attempt to be a bit more positive today. We'll see how long that lasts, but I do want to remind myself - and all of you - that not all is…
And like that, we've made it to a dozen years of marriage. The last almost two have certainly been interesting, and travel has been a lot closer to home, but there has still been some good adventuring that's happened along the way. Perhaps this next year will include more far flung travel? 2021, while no…
Well, I've done this anniversary post every November since I started blogging in 2017, so this is the fourth one of these. Each year, I've chronicled our monthly adventures through the previous year of marriage. Usually, that means there's a bunch of fun and varied trips to reminisce on and share pictures from. This year…
I posted my regular Women's Personal Finance Wednesdays roundup this morning, but as I've written a short anniversary post each year since I started blogging, I decided to keep up that tradition this year.

However, now that I’ve started sharing these posts, I’m so glad I started. There are so many fabulous…
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…
I know I've talked about it before, but I really don't enjoy how dark it gets so early in the evening this time of year. But once Thanksgiving happens and the Christmas lights go up, it feels not nearly so bad because it isn't nearly so dark outside. Maybe not the best use of electricity…
Tuesday isn't a typical day I publish a post, but as my husband and I celebrate our ninth wedding anniversary today, I wanted to write down a little something - shout my love to the world, as it were. We are in town today unlike last year when we were in Hawaii (and up on…
My husband and I will celebrate nine years of marriage later this year, and while I've written previously about what a good financial decision that has been for us personally, partnering up really can have a larger financial impact than we give it credit for. In my day job, I spend a lot of time…
