After a weekend at FinCon, I’m filled with inspiration and renewed sense of purpose for my blog. My mind has been racing, and I can’t fill my notebooks fast enough. I am going to make things happen.
But first, I’m going to pause. Today marks the final week of my maternity leave. And as much as the blogging community means to me, as much as I’m chomping at the bit for new opportunities, as excited as I am to plow through new doors, it can all wait a few days.
Because I want to look back at this time in my life and know one thing: I chose family every chance I had.
So, frugal friends, I’ll be back next Monday for sure, probably sooner, and I’ll resume my regular twice-weekly posting schedule. If you would swing by, it would mean the world to me. There are stories to share, conversations to have, and goals to conquer.
See you soon!

Hey Penny sounds like FinCon was a big success for you. Enjoy your break and final week. Boy that 4 months flew by way to fast. See you Monday 🙂

Family first, always. And I imagine the FinCon experience is like receiving a financial windfall; it’s best to sit on it a while and figure out what to do with your new found wealth (of knowledge and inspiration).
Can’t wait to see what you do with it!!
Ms. Steward
Always family first. ❤️

Sometimes knowing when to say “no” or take a break is the hardest decision! Way to be Penny! Family First indeed!

Before my husband retired from the military he had to travel a good deal. He dreaded eating out and especially hated the hotel food. He said it was always way overpriced and not very good, of course he did say staying in a hotel beat sleeping in a tent in the desert. And that is why he prefers cooking and eating at home now. I fully understand why you packed a cooler. We do pack food for lunch and snacks when we go to a park or wherever as water from home in containers beats $3 a bottle for 12 ounces in a plastic bottle that tastes like plastic. And eating fresh fruit beats greasy french fries any day. And hubby puts his beer or cider in as well when there will friends that share a drink.
