I recently started a new series to encourage me to 1) put a little more effort into my photography again, and 2) notice and acknowledge some of the many wonderful things that are all around me on a regular basis. Each month, I’m challenging myself to take at least five pictures of beauty, as well …
2022 Financial Goals: Q1 Update
When setting these goals back in early January, I definitely was going with a “go big or go home” kind of a theme. The reasoning behind it was that the financial goals I’d set for my second 101 in 1001 list, which I had considered real “stretch” goals, have now all been completed except for …

How We’re Keeping Our Food Costs Low Despite Inflation + Rising Food Costs
Like the rest of the world, we have not been immune to rising food costs, empty grocery shelves, and inflation occurring on everything from our heating and utility bills (which were already on the high side due to our home being older) to the gas we put in our vehicles (which was already more expensive …
