It’s been about 10 years now but there was a time I didn’t even blink when I would walk into Nordstrom or Banana Republic and buy a dress for $200. GASP, right?! But let me make something super clear, if you spend that kind of money on a dress that is 100 percent your choice.…
I LOVE leggings. Like if they were my 3rd child I would love them and cherish them and start a college fund to preserve them forever. I am #dramatic, do not even say you don’t know what you got into with me as your sister friend…you know. It is all good. You know that I…
I have a serious question and I need some clarity on it all…can we talk? I still struggle with making sense of this. So, I became a Mom 9 years ago to our sweet boy named Carter and 2 years later our Caylee came into the world. At the time I was working in TV…
For some of my new friends here, you may not know this but I was a TV news anchor in Phoenix, Arizona for nearly 15 years. I started at the bottom…literally worked in a small closet turned TV studio and reported traffic for the top rated morning show here in Phoenix. Guess how much sister…

You know I don’t love the ‘B’ word…shhhh…don’t say it. You know ahem…budget.😬😬 But I have been living on a cash flow plan, a cooler way to say ‘budget’ without saying it. Basically, since 2011, when we went totally BROKE, we have created a plan for our money and stuck to it every month since…
Time flies when you’re having fun…isn’t that what they say?! But really…why is it as we get older there is a sense we are attached to a time machine and catapulted to the future??? And then all of a sudden we feel Marty McFly in Back to the Future – except we don’t have that…
