This guest post is from reader Carrie. I’ve been following her story of getting out of debt and saving for a home for about a year now. I’ve been very inspired by her determination and creativity and I hope that you are too! I have always had the mentality that debt was bad. I had saved up enough money in high school to pay for my college education once I was done. My husband and I were married in August, {Read More}

As I sit down to write the menu for the week, I’m writing out my 4 weekly “to do” lists (personal tasks, blogging tasks, cleaning chores, less common maintenance cleaning tasks). It’s helping me to accomplish things that easily get pushed aside otherwise, even if I don’t get them all checked off! Last week I ended up sleeping a lot during the day. Little One has been sick, and then moved unexpectedly to the toddler bed, so that’s {Read More}
