Budgeting Magic: Planning Yearly One-Off Expenses

TorrieUpdated on March 22, 2023February 25, 2023

I’ve always considered myself to be pretty decent with handling my money, but I would also admit pretty readily that in the past, I was a bit lazy about it. Sure, I’d made a loose budget of some sort or other most months since my husband and I first got married nearly 12 years ago, …

TorrieUpdated on February 23, 2023February 23, 2023

This new monthly series is by reader request, and it lays out all our grocery expenses each month (including how much we spent in each broader category, such as dairy or produce). We are a family of five (with one on the way) living in Central Utah, and our kids’ ages range from 7 down …

101 in 1001 List #2 {Second to Last Update}

TorrieFebruary 22, 2023February 21, 2023

At the beginning of 2018, I decided to vastly change how I approached goal-setting, and instead of setting my usual New Year’s resolutions, I decided to hop on the bandwagon of doing 101 goals in 1001 days (which is just under 3 years). After completing over 60% of my first list (you can see the …

2023 House Projects To-Do List

TorrieUpdated on April 7, 2023February 20, 2023

I skipped doing a house and yard projects to-do list last year because I got swept up in flower farming planning and tasks, but some of these projects are now going on more than two years of being half-finished, so I figured that maybe posting about our to-do list will be the nudge we need …

8 Clever, Not-Totally-Fluffy Romances

TorrieUpdated on February 13, 2023February 13, 2023

It’s funny how book tastes change over time. A decade ago, you would have NEVER found me reading anything that could be categorized as a “romance” — I thought the whole genre was predictable, stereotypical, and not at all worth my time.
