In January, we took another look at our finances, as we do very regularly.   We... Read Full Story

So in 2012, I want to try and get more organized.  I'm already pretty darn organized around here, but there are a few areas that I want to tackle. One area is my paper clutter.  My day to day paper clutter is under control, it's all the saved papers that I need to file away that are in a chaotic pile on my desk.  Anyway, that project is for another day. For now, I wanted to tackle my son's bedroom closet.  Specifically a 3-drawer cart that contained (or didn't really contain) my kiddos... Read Full Story

In this new year, I've been trying to assess what we do to save money in our household and where there's still room for change.  I'd like to find a few new ways to save money this year.   I'd also like to step it up a little bit on a few things we're already doing, but maybe slacking on a little bit, like couponing. In order to figure all this out, I first wanted to make a list of things that we are already doing to save cash on a regular basis.   I've also linked to some of my past... Read Full Story
