So with the recent popularity of fantasy (or romantasy) book series like A Court of Thorns and Roses (a.k.a. ACOTAR), Throne of Glass, and Fourth Wing, it seems like this genre is really getting its time in the spotlight. This seems to be the prime time — especially on social Read more
Does anyone else feel like they see Rocket Money ads and sponsorships everywhere? Much like Hello Fresh and other meal kits a year or so ago, I feel like this is the latest app/product/company that is sponsoring everybody and their mother. I see their ads on Instagram, YouTube, everywhere, and Read more
One of the financial goals I set for myself this year was to avoid buying things I don’t need. Dubbed the “Low Buy Challenge” to guarantee social media virality, it’s all about focusing on purchasing items I truly need; waiting until they are completely used up before repurchasing; and buying Read more

During the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic, I was living in Central Nebraska. It was the first and only time I never actually took advantage of grocery pick-up ordering; that is, I would order in advance, park at Walmart, and have the staff member put the items into my trunk. Read more
I spent that last week on a family vacation to the Walt Disney World Resort — one of many we’ve taken over the years and will no doubt continue to take moving forward. Over the years we’ve figured out the exact science of not only planning a Disney World trip, Read more
