Practical Ways to Improve Your Home, Life, & Budget
Good gracious, moving can get expensive! We just moved from Michigan to Colorado, so I definitely know what I’m talking about here. We’ve also moved six other times in the past nine years, in case you still doubted my qualifications, haha! Whenever we move, I always do my best to estimate the costs ahead of […]
Some days I feel like I’ve been insanely busy but I haven’t gotten anything important done. Other days, Hulu and a nap are calling me. I adore working from home, but it’s not all that easy to be productive when you work from home. There are endless distractions at home that you don’t have to […]
*This post was sponsored by Let’s Be Well. All opinions are my own. Austin and I have taken many small steps over the past few years to improve our health. We’ve gradually started exercising more, cut out most added sugar, we watch our serving sizes, etc. It’s been a slow process, but I can now […]
