Our Story

We started this blog as I was trying to figure out budgeting (totally different when a spouse is involved and you can’t just boss them around, darn it!) and how to decrease my constant stress at time constraints, did I mention money, and always being busy. We also have spent many years working for ourselves and starting businesses, so I talk about that ALOT too! So many challenges to overcome, but so much joy in doing what we love!

Sometimes it feels like it has been a slow journey, but we are finding that a simple, balanced life is what we are wanting. As we figure out this life, we would love to have you join us.

If you are looking for a writer, editor or social media manager, please send me a message, let’s see if I am the person you are looking for!
