Celebrating Your Money Wins – Volume 23

September 25, 2019 by Penny 5 Comments
Selling Old Parts on eBay and Other Money Wins

Do you watch the register and check your receipts when you’re checking out at the store? Usually, I pay close attention…but when I’m shopping with a toddler, my focus is a little lackluster. Mostly because I’m trying to apprehend him before he puts every bag of M&Ms he can find on the conveyor belt. Thanks … [Read more…]

Celebrating Money Wins – Volume 15

Celebrating Money Wins 15

I used to confess this money secret pretty regularly, but I haven’t made mention of it for a while. I don’t track our net worth. Famously. Infamously. Stupidly.

Celebrating Money Wins – Volume 13

February 11, 2019 by Penny 14 Comments

If I’m being totally honest, I haven’t felt much like celebrating lately. What a way to start a post on money wins, huh? I think I lost the forest for the trees. Or the trees for the forest. Or money doesn’t grow on trees. Or something. Everything has just felt so financially ordinary lately. There … [Read more…]

Everything I Tried to Buy My Son in the Past 24 Hours

August 27, 2018 by Penny 23 Comments

My son is starting daycare. Real daycare. The kind run by licensed professionals total strangers. While most people mark the start of a new school year with back-to-school shopping based on supply lists and maybe even child requests (and peer pressure and clever advertisements), I’m shopping for a whole different reason. I’m shopping because I’m … [Read more…]

Can You Really Cancel Show and Tell?

August 22, 2018 by Penny 10 Comments

“We don’t do Show and Tell here.” It was a bold proclamation. Especially because it was nowhere on the daycare orientation agenda. Show and Tell is a staple of early education curricular design. It is as familiar as Play-Doh and and the “Clean Up” song. How many times have you done Show and Tell in … [Read more…]
