I love the holidays but I’m kind of glad all of the madness is over. I’ve probably been to at least ten family dinners in the last two weeks. I love seeing my family and all, but I’m also ready for things to start getting back to normal. As the girls and I begin to settle back into our routines we’ve been hit with yet
Happy New Year!! I hope 2013 was an awesome year for year and hopefully 2014 will be even better. In the spirit of the New Year I wanted to talk about you achieving your goals.

Every week I share a few personal finance articles that I have enjoyed reading. Here are a few great ones from this week! Brock at Clever Dude writes When Should Kids Start Buying Christmas Gifts? I don’t know what the right answer to that is but my three and five year old daughters love to pick out gift for others. (Not that they’re buying the gifts

And I’ll admit, I used to be one of those people who didn’t really understand insurance either. I completely undervalued the importance of insurance and especially, liability limits.

Certificates of deposits, better known as CD’s, are an investment option that I’m pretty familiar with. Over the last several years I’ve helped my Grandma keep track of her finances and pitched in to help with the financial management of her businesses as well.
