Read MorePart of my Sunday Planning Session includes going over and updating our budget. I need to know where we are at as far as our income and expenses are concerned so I can make sure we stay on the right track. Check out how I do our budget every month.
Read MoreIt’s been almost 13 years since I decided to change to a vegetarian // plant-based diet. It was something I had toyed around with in college, simply because the idea of cooking meat in our tiny apartment just didn’t appeal to me whatsoever. But, it wasn't until after I got married and ventured out on my own that I went all-in! So, how do you get started eating a more plant-based diet? I'm bring my friend and Registered Dietician Kathy Levin in today to share 6 simple steps to get started eating more plants!
Read MoreHere's the deal... You DON'T have to join a network marketing company to start a business. The reason I chose to was because I didn't know HOW to do anything else. It was low risk and the investment was low, and since I didn't know a dang thing about business, I figured it was a good stepping stone. And sure enough, I was right! Had I not started there, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have even thought about doing what I'm actually doing now (which, if you don't know, I offer done-for-you tech + automation services to online business owners, as well as offer a content marketing course for network marketers and online business owners). None of that would exist today had I not chosen to dip my toe in the water with network marketing. But, maybe you're still hesitant about starting a business and aren't sure NWM is for you. I've got 6 reasons I'm sharing as to why you should start an online business - and it's easier (and more rewarding) than you think!

Read MoreI might be one of the only people to say this about the last few months, but I have to say that the pandemic has probably been one of the best things for our marriage. Simply because it FORCED us to have open + tough conversations about life, our family, etc.

Read MoreNow that we know this is going to be more of the same for the foreseeable future, I need SOMETHING to look forward to. I need SOMETHING for the kids to be excited about.

Read MoreA few weeks ago, I shared my daily routine. Well, you can basically throw that one out the window because EVERYTHING has changed since then. I hinted at how I would update you when summer came and then again when the school year started. What I didn’t anticipate was having to do an update BEFORE the end of the school year. I know there are some of you who have seen scheduled floating around the internet (don’t try to Pinterest it… they’ve blocked ALL Coronavirus content on there), but I thought I’d share what we’ve adapted for our family and what seems to be working OK right now.
