How to Be Minimalist and Have a Baby

  November 17

There are a billion different ways to be a parent, and obviously, the hubs and I have developed our own way of doing things over the past 7.5 months (time flies doesn’t it!?) Many people don’t believe you can be minimalist and have a baby, especially if you have grandparents buying birthday gifts and Christmas … Continued

One Day at a Time & A Writing Wrap Up

  November 7

I got a lot of e-mails this week, and more than one person told me they don’t know how I do all of this. And by “all of this” I assume they mean take care of the beans and run my business and try to support hubs all at the same time. My answer is … Continued

The following is a post by my friend Syed. Syed is an optometrist by day and a blogger by night. He’s also enrolled in my coaching program and is doing very well! So I’m quite pleased to welcome him to the blog today to share his story. The best way to describe having a baby … Continued

The Beans’ First Halloween & A Writing Wrap Up

  October 31

Harry and Hermione would like to wish you a Happy Halloween! Aren’t these costumes so amazing? I can’t take any credit. My mom, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law made the entire thing! Halloween is supposed to be freezing cold up here. I’m not sure I’m ready for it at all. In fact, I wanted to sort of … Continued

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

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

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.
