In one of my most boring finance classes in college, I actually learned something valuable that can be applied to anyone’s life.

How to Make the Most of Bonus Money
In the past, when we’ve received “extra” money from one of our jobs, I wasn’t super strategic about how we used it. This would be my 7th mistake as our family’s finance manager. The extra money I speak of came in the form of a bonus or third paycheck (as opposed to the normal twoContinue Reading..
Kids and Food: Short-Order Cooking

36+ Affordable Handmade Gift Ideas for Young Children
Our Christmas last year was pretty stark…when it comes to gift-giving. César got me nil, I gave César a coupon book that I made (which he still has never used!), and we gave Sofía cozy pajamas and a pink rolling backpack that came with a bear. That’s it. We didn’t even have a tree untilContinue Reading..
The Story Behind Humble in a Heartbeat
When I was young, I took a lot of pride in being correct, right, and perfect. Who am I kidding? I still do! In all seriousness, I realize now that it’s just not possible to be that way all the time. Marriage and parenting especially are whipping me into shape whether I like it orContinue Reading..
