This year is a quarter over, and writing this post suddenly seems very late. However, 2018 has been a different kind of year, so far, and our finances and free time reflect that. First, let me say that I know I have not been writing as much this year. I am trying to get back on…

We are down to the last ten days of the #30ProjectsIn30Days challenge, and I have reached a critical point between getting things done and giving some projects the ax. My ever-optimistic self is not giving up on some of the more time-consuming tasks on our list. However, it is clearly time to let some things go…
