Tips for Successfully Completing a No Shop Month

Y’all — we made it! January felt approximately 378494012 days long, but we finally are at the end of January.  Earlier this week, I talked about my 2020 word of the year and some financial goals I have for the year.  One of the things I tend to do each January is a no shop month.  It helps me rebuild savings/pay extra on my credit card after extra holiday spending as well as get back in the habit of saving.

2020 Word of the Year & What I’m Working On

Do you choose a word of the year?  The past three years I’ve picked a word that ties into some of what I’m working on for the year.  This year as I was thinking about goals for the year, the word that came to my mind was…less.

It seems counterintuitive at first, but this year I want to be able to laser focus my attention on what matters and let those things that aren’t a priority go.

Get in the Holiday Spirit & Throw an Ornament Painting Party

Question of the day: when do you start decorating for Christmas?  I’ve always been an after Thanksgiving person, but last week I threw an ornament painting party and now I want to put up my tree!  Crafting has always been something I enjoy, but in full honesty I haven’t done a ton of it the past few years.  Last month, my friend Emily invited Lindsay and I over for a girls’ craft night & it was so fun that I wanted to have another one!

Why I Give & Resources That Would Have Changed My Life

Hi friends, doing a little soul searching on blogging right now so apologies for being MIA.  Hopping on today because I started thinking and suddenly BOOM had all the words.  It’s my sorority’s Founders’ Day this weekend and in the lead up we celebrate Week of Giving.  As part of our Foundation drive, we were asked why we give.  When I started thinking about why I give to our sorority, I actually started crying and realized, ‘hey this is really something to dig into.’
