Save Money & Slay Debt
Yesterday, I received this very sweet message from Lady Cindy: Good morning! Just watched your segment on WTHR as we do often, and I have a question, not about good deals, but about your hair. Obviously, it is naturally curly and it always looks good – no frizzies and a great finishing product. Can you tell me what products you use? Can you please tell me what shampoo, conditioner, finishing

One of the most helpful tips that I learned early on in using coupons was to check and find out what coupons will be in the paper before I actually buy one. It helps me to choose how many papers to buy and when to be intentional in not buying as many. You can also quickly scan to make sure that your paper contains the correct amount of inserts in
All too often, frugality gets a bad rap. We think of being frugal as depriving ourselves. We envision no fun, eating tasteless food, and watching the world roll by like a parade with all of the marchers living it up while we sit on the sidelines all by ourselves in a pool of tears.

In the coming months, I’m hoping to pause each Thursday to give you a Slaying the Debt Dragon update and loop you in on the process so you get a behind the scenes look at what I’ve been up to and learn ways you can help promote the book. You are my BEST publicist. You know our story. You walked with us. You’ve heard me speak. You’ve heard me whine.

This lovely laptop under my fingertips, my cell phone, even the majority of items in my kitchen cabinet. The world wouldn’t fall part if suddenly I didn’t have all of the above.

Our lives are filled with habits and patterns. Recently, I learned that there’s no such thing as breaking a bad habit; rather, you can only replace a habit with another habit.

This makes me want to be doubly proactive when it comes to keeping our home running smoothly. From doing the dishes every day (BOO) to keeping the laundry from becoming Mt. St. Dirten, I’m doing
