Why I’m Completely, Totally Weird

  October 27

Last month, my friend Kassandra wrote a post and listed a few things that were weird about her. I loved reading it and told her I’d put it on my editorial calendar to write a similar post inspired by hers. Well, peeps, that day is today. Edit: I feel a little strange publishing this because … Continued

Incredible Life Lessons From Working in a Factory

  October 21

So excited to welcome Robin from The Thrifty Peach to my blog today! Enjoy! Hello, new friends! I’m very excited to be able to share a story of mine today on Budget Blonde, because Cat’s blog was the very first personal finance blog I started reading. Like Cat, I absolutely love to write and learn … Continued

Do You Worry Your Kids Will Feel The Struggle?

  October 20

I recently had the pleasure of being on the Stacking Benjamins podcast with the lovely Paula Pant of Afford Anything and of course Joe himself. I’m a huge fan of Joe. He is, in many ways, sort of an unofficial life coach of mine. He’s hysterical, we get along really well, and I think by adding … Continued

Go On A Finance Date: It’s Sexier Than It Sounds.

  October 8

Today, I’m really excited to be blog swapping with the very talented Mrs. Frugalwoods. She’s an anonymous blogger, which is why her head is chopped off in all the pics below (some cover-up for being a bad photographer, sheesh!) However, she is quite the excellent example in frugality. She will be retiring in three years … Continued

How to Carve Out Time for What You Really Love

  October 7

Last week I went to ballet class. Yes, I checked and I am still 27 and not 7, but there I went – pink tights and all. It was worth it. It was really, truly great. I’ve danced my whole life, starting at 2.5 years old. Growing up, I never played any sports. I spent … Continued

How To Hustle & Make Back Your FinCon Investment

  September 30

Everyone is writing all of these fab posts about FinCon, the financial bloggers conference many of us just went to, so I don’t want to be repetitive by telling you about the conference and all the speakers and all the sessions. What I do want to address is how you can make the absolute most … Continued

My Birth Video: The Twins are 6 Months Old

  September 23

The Beans are six months old today and my God, what a whirlwind. The last six months have been the most challenging of my entire life. Hubs and I have been absolutely amazed at how much energy and work these two little humans require. Every day, we’re just totally overwhelmed with how much we love … Continued

I’m 28, and I’ve Never Had a Credit Card. Ever.

  September 16

Hi everyone! Hope y’all are having a great week! I didn’t mean to leave you hanging by leaving out a blonde pic of myself last week! It’s nothing fancy – just a few highlights! – but I hadn’t washed my hair in a while so it wasn’t looking too purty. I will get to it. … Continued

10 Ways New Moms Can Spend Less and Live More

  August 25

Happy Monday! I had such a fun time co-creating this infographic with Auto Credit Express. I mean, how could I resist when they put the beans and me in cartoon form? And they even put the beans in cloth diapers. Love that! It’s all about the fine details, people. This infographic all started with a casual conversation about all the … Continued

How To Use Cloth Diapers

  August 18

Some of you said I was crazy. My Dad said I wouldn’t last a week. There have been times I couldn’t stand the sight of one more diaper, but ultimately I learned how to use cloth diapers very quickly, and they’ve been a life saver in so many ways. Over the past few months, I’ve … Continued
