Image from Crystal Paine, used with permission As I have mentioned a few times, I was chosen to be on the launch team for The Money-Making Mom by Crystal Paine, so I received a copy of the ebook a few weeks early. I dove right in, expecting to be inspired and hoping to find some concrete and specific advice for what I can do to make money from home. We are trying to get out of debt, after all. Crystal walks you through the steps of figuring out what to do and how to do it. By focusing … [Read more...]
Books I’ve Read: September 2015
I started out the month on a roll from last month, reading a book fairly quickly and then starting more. And then for some reason, I didn't pick up another book right away after this one, and I fell into a non-reading rut. Hopefully I can change that next month! What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty.

This was a … [Read more...]

Two books from the library, plus one on the bottom of the stack that's been on my bookshelf for several moves since I found it on the bargain shelf at a Barnes & Noble once upon a time.

You organize by category, and one of the key things is to gather everything from that category in one spot. The first area to tackle is clothing. So I gathered all of my … [Read more...]
Books I’ve Read: July 2015
Earlier this month, I posted my review of Gretchen Rubin's Better Than Before. I'm attempting to read more by getting a book from the library, which has a two-week due date (and then a two-week renewal). It's not perfect, but it is a deadline to force myself to read something. I do look forward to the day when the kids are a little older, and nap time/quiet time morphs into reading time. For now, here's my other book review for the month... A Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. I read a … [Read more...]
