A Financially Balanced Life: Getting out of Debt the Slow Way

July 28, 2014 By Kelly 15 Comments

In an effort to open up on my blog I am sharing some common questions I am asked and delving in a little deeper to our personal finances. While we long ago established household rules for what is the line for our family when it comes to sharing online there is definitely more I could say, […]

Beyond the Filter

July 14, 2014 By Kelly 4 Comments

Blogs are a funny thing. They are a collection of stories, of journal pages, of how tos, of advice that is shared with the hopes that it connects with someone out there who understands. Sometimes they are written just for the sake of writing. (those are kind of the best) I was chatting with a […]

Summer’s End

August 21, 2013 By Kelly 2 Comments

Summer is nearly over. The kids head back to school next Monday which makes me simultaneously  thrilled and sad. Is it just me or does time seem to speed up as your kids get older? We spent last week visiting my parents at the condo complex they manage in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Rehoboth is both […]

Balance Spending and Paying off Debt

April 17, 2013 By Kelly 6 Comments

Despite the fact that I write a personal finance blog, getting out of debt has not been an overnight process. I often read stories of people paying off anywhere from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt in a year or less. These stories make me scratch my head because it’s clear they […]

Insomnia: Getting Personal

April 8, 2013 By Kelly 1 Comment

First of all, I have to thank everyone who emailed, messaged me, commented, or reached out in the billions of ways we have to connect to offer their prayers, support, or just a hearty, “I’ve been there,” in response to  my post about dealing with depression. It means the world to me to know I’m […]

RX for Happiness: Getting Personal

March 16, 2013 By Kelly 59 Comments

You may be wondering why I’ve been a little quiet on the blog lately. This may help you understand.   I’ve been told by many people that  I make it all ‘look easy,’ and that I ‘have it together,’ but in my mind that’s far from the truth. I even spoke last year at FinCon […]

In Memoriam

March 14, 2013 By Kelly 6 Comments

A year ago today we lost a young man in our community. He was a bright and talented young man. It was a shock to our community, to us, to our children. I’ve been writing and re-writing this post for the last year, but today is the anniversary of his death, and I felt it […]

Hello beautiful internet, I missed you

April 25, 2011 By Kelly 2 Comments

Well hello, internet. It’s so nice to see you.  I’ve been gone for officially 12 days, and I’ve been longing to share, but had to wait until we returned home. I was here: and here. My husband and son spent 3 days at the VEX World Championships. They’ve worked super hard all year to get […]

Looking ahead to 2011

January 3, 2011 By Kelly 5 Comments

2011 is here, and I’m made my peace with that. I had big plans to do lots of things with the last few weeks of 2010, but life and hundreds of miles of driving happened instead. I’m starting 2011 with a little sadness at the passing of the year, and some glee that 2010 is […]
