June is easily one of my favourite months because the weather is finally turning warm, and this month contains my wedding anniversary. Well, the weather is supposed to be turning warm, anyway. Last night there was a frost advisory that left me rushing around and covering up the seedlings in my garden. Most of them survived, for now. May was …
April is gone, and May is upon us. Spring finally feels like its underway, and the grass is finally growing in my backyard – and so are the weeds. April would have been a decent month for me except for one thing – taxes. I had to pay almost $5,000 in taxes this year because of the freelance money I earned …
Happy April! It’s hard to believe that this time last year I was cleaning up after my husband’s 30th birthday blowout, planning my backyard renovation and booking flights for my trip to New York in May. This year looks like it’s going to be full of new challenges and fun stuff here on the blog. I can’t wait. March was …
Guys! It’s March! And I have a new blog theme! Launching this new theme has honestly taken up the majority of my time this past month, and while there is still a lot to do, I’ve got some excellent content lined up over the next few months. I’m planning to relaunch my weekly email to subscribers, which you can sign …
Happy 2018! Wow, 2017 flew by, and it was quite a year. Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect for my net worth in 2017. What with being the new owner of a century-old home in need of some TLC, and trying to pay off an impulse purchased car (big news on that below!) I had no idea how my …
Happy December! I can’t believe there’s only one month left in 2017 – yet I still have a long list of to-dos! It looks like I won’t be completing them this year, but on the other hand, those to-dos remain on that list because I’ve been hustling my butt off to make 2017 my highest earning year yet – by …
Happy November? Honestly, not my favourite month. After the riot of colour that is October, November is decidedly brown. It’s also decidedly close to the holiday season, which means I need to get my frugal butt in gear and start buying some gifts for my friends and family. Fortunately, I’m at an age where gift giving has slowed down, so …
Since happily declaring that my net worth has finally crossed the $100,000 threshold, I’ve noticed a few interesting comments from bystanders. Well, to be honest, these comments have been happening for a while, but there seems to be some fundamental misunderstanding about what a $100,000 net worth means. I occasionally hear comments from well-meaning friends and family members along the …
I don’t know about where you live, but here as soon as the calendar flipped over to October 1st, the temperatures plunged a good fifteen degrees. Fortunately my oil furnace is gurgling away in the basement, pumping out heat. Unfortunately, that also means the oil bills I’ve enjoyed a break from this summer will resume. As much as I’ve thoroughly …
Happy September everyone! I know it’s not Fall yet, but there has been a drop in the humidity here in Halifax, and the leaves are already starting to drift slowly off of my neighbour’s giant maple tree and into my backyard. Somehow the weeds are still growing though, which has thrown me into this weird limbo of raking the leaves …
