I just finished reading the book The Rules of Inheritance this week as a part of BlogHer Book Club and wanted to share it with you. It’s written by a fellow blogger, Claire Bidwell Smith, which is what initially got me interested in the book. It’s always cool to see bloggers getting published and I...

Making a list, checking it twice. Wait, are you still trying to finish up your holiday shopping? LOL. Some people love last min. shopping, like Nathan. Others are like me finishing on or shortly after Black Friday. Considered giving a gift card this year? I know, I know… Gift cards are perceived as a lazy...

I really had no idea investing in a company could be done in much of the same way we invested in our home. Some of you may remember how we did a lease/ purchase arrangement to buy our home. It was nice because it gave us time to save up for a bigger down payment...

Being so fatigued and being that we were still unpacking from doing a new home purchase at 7 months pregnant the nursery was just thrown together. In all reality, newborns really shouldn’t...

We are quite the well a versed on the go family these days, as many of you already know. With prenatal visits two states away we’ve done our share of travel with our toddler over the last few years. Plus, we are about to be on the go when we head out in a month...
