No one really talks about the quiet seasons of life. Or as I am calling this season…the “Huh?” season. We prepare people for chaos. For busy. For “you’ll miss this someday.” What no one says is: one day your house will be quieter, your calendar will stop yelling at you,...

I can’t remember if I shared that I signed up for Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University at my church last fall. It cost $25. I remember when Beks wrote about it many years ago, but really never thought it was for me. Of course, after 10+ years blogging here, I’ve...

Many long time readers will recall when we were moving from the 900 square foot apartment to the trailer some 10-ish years ago, we had to re-home our animals. It was a terribly hard time. Before everyone jumps down my throat on that again, we rehomed three animals: Mene –...

Looking back on last year’s financial goals, I’m feeling more strategic about the year ahead. 2025 was a year of getting organized. We opened our LLC, revisited our investment strategy, and hired a CPA. It wasn’t perfect, but it was productive. So what does 2026 look like? Here are the...

I’ve been reading voraciously since moving here. In fact, the first “Texan” thing I did was get a library card. And when I returned to Georgia for Beauty’s wedding, I stopped by my storage unit and brought back 4 boxes of books. In addition, I’ve joined several book clubs that...

Ok, I’ve officially said Goodbye to 2025 and it feels so good. Although there were so, so many good things last year, the heavy is not something I want to ever revisit. Therefore, I am 100% fully focused on this year. And for the first, or what I consider the...

Happy New Year everyone! Before I get into 2026, I want to take a look back. I wrote about my 2025 Financial Goals back at the end of 2024, and then did a pulse check mid-year. Now that the year is over, let’s take stock of how I’ve done: Image...

Phew! I didn’t realize that I didn’t check in here even one time last month. I apologize for that. The holidays and all the peopling and visiting family…it was a lot for this introverted mama. I loved having the kids here, but man, was I glad when everyone went home...

Yes, I know I probably should have done this last year, literally. But these last weeks have been so crazy. Kids flying in and out. Mom has had some concerns that required attention. And the holidays…need I say more? In fact, I had a whole to do list for work...

Today we’re going to talk about a government agency you’ve probably never thought about much before: the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. But first, a little family history.
