Wow, Freebs, I have a huge apology to make! This year’s Budget Boot Camp Conference (BBC’17) brought to you by Mountain America Credit Union and myself, was WEEKS ago! I’ve been meaning to recap it for you for some time but got swept up with other things. Have no fear, it’s time to share the loooovvveeee!!…
If you know me, you know I’m a fan of having multiple bank accounts. In fact, I recommend having AT LEAST seven accounts, though my family has over 20 at this point (true story). Are you hyperventilating yet? Don’t! I promise it’s not that weird! In fact, my “The 7 Bank Accounts Every Family Should Have” post(s)…
Recently I got a call from a woman named Chaunie at Babble (a massive website owned by Disney), asking if I’d do an interview for an article she was writing. I like Babble because, since it’s a Disney site, it stays PG-rated and I trust that they won’t twist my words to make it some…
I don’t know about you, but I’m a visual learner. Not just visual – I want someone to SHOW me – in person – how to do something…and I’ll remember it forever. You could hand me a cook book with the world’s simplest recipe, and I would still choose taking more time to learn from someone…
Happy Friday, Freebs! Pinners Conference is coming to Salt Lake City, UT November 4-5, and I would love for you to join me there! This is seriously the ultimate girls weekend! Imagine with me if you will… booths filled with the best shopping, your favorite Pinners and bloggers presenting classes about all your favorite topics:…
Before I recap how my “Say No To 3” week has been going, I want to introduce you all to next week’s Focus on Finances challenge. This week we are saying NO to eating out…of any kind. Coffee, drive-throughs, gas station drinks, lunch money for your kids, ordering a pizza, even bottled water…you name it….
Oh boy. Does anyone else’s budget need a clean sweep? Summer is over, our flowers are wilting, the school papers are piling up, and our wallets are in shock from all the fun we’ve had over the summer! #AmIright?? If you’re anything like me, you look at Fall as a time to reboot, recover from a…
Do you ever dream? Not like, “falling off a cliff jerk you awake standing in front of the class with no pants” dream. But a “someday, if money time and life weren’t an issue my perfect situation would look like this” dream. I do. And I want to share with you a bit about the…
Happy Monday, Freebs! Earlier this summer, I received an email from Mindy, a fellow reader who wanted to share an amazing #FreebsSuccessStory with all of us… hers! It’s an incredible story of hard work, dedication, and using frugality in your favor! Did I mention they paid off $400,000 of debts in 3 years? Yeah, this…
As many of you know, Yard Sale season is a close second, only to Christmas in my book. (Ok actually…don’t tell Santa, but it really might be #1.) If you follow the #YardSaleNinja hashtag on Instagram, you’ll see that more often than not, I come home with a HAUL of amazing things from even…
It’s no secret that I love Costco, and have become somewhat of a Costco pro over the years (if you haven’t noticed by my Costco page!). They have great prices on quality items and it can really save your family a lot of money…IF you do it right! I recently did a TV segment for…
