As we draw nearer to Christmas, it’s now time to enjoy the sounds of the season. Through the years, I have found some full albums that keep me coming back over and over again. I’m sure you have your favorites, too. Here is a Spotify playlist with some of the songs I have on repeat Continue reading

It’s almost Christmas! It’s a wonderful time of year for many, but it can also be a time that puts a huge strain on your finances. We want to everything that our family and friends put on their wish lists- we may even feel compelled to do so – but doing so comes at a Continue reading
