Get Your Free Debt-Free Holiday Workbook! * indicates required Email Address * It wasn’t until recently that I realized that I’m misusing the word “budget.” There are certainly personality types that love spreadsheets and crunching numbers. I most certainly am not that type of person. Why I haven’t thought to write about this until now, I’m not entirely sure. When I use the word “budget” in my writing, what I…
Get Your Free Debt-Free Holiday Workbook! * indicates required Email Address * Today is a guest post from the lovely Savannah Hoban! I guest posted for her this week too where I wrote about $5 Holiday Gifts! Anyway, without further adieu, allow me to hand it over to Savannah! Happy Thursday, friends! I know the holidays can be a very stressful time of the year for most. Especially with this…
If you haven’t yet downloaded my free Debt-Free Holiday Workbook, allow me to remind you to do it! Get Your Free Debt-Free Holiday Workbook! * indicates required Email Address * I had planned on posting this last week but it felt a little weird with it being Election Day so here it is today :).

Gosh this is a weird year. Normally I’ve planned an elaborate Halloween costume, made major plans and counted down the days until Halloween. Obviously with Covid things are more than a little different. If you, like me, are looking for a bit of “normal-ish” I thought I’d share some Halloween costumes that you can create, even if it’s just to sit home and watch Hocus Pocus or Casper in. I…
Get Your Free Debt-Free Holiday Workbook! * indicates required Email Address * The confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett last night had me in tears. It’s so rare to see other women who believe what I do and have professional ambition. In fact, I’ve read countless “articles” from “men” who have made actual claims that the reason many of us are still (legally) single is that we have pursued careers and…
Get Your Free Debt-Free Holiday Workbook! * indicates required Email Address * If you’re new here, allow me to fill you in on one thing: I’m very traditional when it comes to manners and nothing irks me more than a cheapskate. There are certain protocols that are starting to diminish in the millennial generation and are all-but dead with Gen Z. If you’re cognizant about manners like I am, sometimes…
In case you missed it on Tuesday, allow me to reiterate, I LOVE CHRISTMAS which is one of many reasons why so much of the personal finance I talk about here revolves around budgeting for the holidays. I’m a planner and planning for Christmas just so happens to be one of my all-time favorite things to do. A lot of people procrastinate. If you’re one of them, allow me to…
One thing you must know about me is that I’m a Christmas FREAK. I love everything about it. The decorations, the parties, the lights, the cookies, the movies, gift giving… And, the Incarnation too, obvi. When it comes to Christmas, not a stone goes unturned for me. I blame my mother. A common bad habit I have at Christmas, though, is the tendency to completely blow my budget when it…
In case you didn’t notice my new blog banner, allow me to draw your attention to it for a minute. Go ahead. Take a gander. I mulled over my new blog tagline for–literally–months. While I don’t love the ring to “Ambitious and Traditional,” it really does sum up who I am and who I am working to serve. When I started following other financial bloggers, I noticed a strong recurring…
Happy Thursday, friends! We made it. Thursday is garbage day for me and in a weird way, when I drag out my trash barrels on Wednesday night, I feel as though it’s just a quick track in to the weekend. Before I start talking about my fall decor, I wanted to share a very high recommendation for The Social Dilemma on Netflix. Here’s the trailer… Please, please do yourself a…
