Two Wines for Valentine’s Day from a Non Wine Lover

I don’t know where we went wrong but…I’m not much of a wine drinker. My parents who are Californians kept trying to tell me that I just hadn’t tried good wine. When we took a family trip to Italy, they even took me out on a wine tasting outside of Florence. And that was when I knew…I’m not much of a wine person. However, I wanted to share two wines for Valentine’s Day that I do love which probably means they’re safe for the most fickle of drinkers.

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.
