My 2016 has been mostly marvelous. We all can’t have a perfect year, can we? But the good outweighed the bad, and that typically means a good ol’ time. Last year, I wrote a post regarding my 2016 intentions (yes, I’m a total believer in intentions and resolutions or whatever. It’s important to have goals!). […]

So how much will this cup cost you? Well, USA Today has a coffee calculator! Who knew? If you bought a tall veranda […]
No-Spend February Update
Happy middle-of-the-month! Well, we passed that point a while ago but that’s me wishing I could stop time. :p So far, I haven’t had any fun money and I’ve been okay with that! I received a wonderful gift for Valentine’s Day from my husband, plus, we were given a gift card to go out on a date, […]
