Super fun to get an email from Amazon inviting me

Super fun to get an email from Amazon inviting me to check our this book from one of my website clients! I realize that I’m friends with lots of authors, but I still love the feeling of “hey, I know this one!” #barbaracornthwaite #newrelease #cozymystery #christianfiction

Today, paying off debt looks like updating my Augu

Today, paying off debt looks like updating my August budget because EDD finally came through with my pay from my company’s work share program...from May. I am so thankful to have come so far on my debt-free journey before COVID, because that 20% pay cut would have hurt so much more. And I’m incredibly thankful to be employed when so many have been struggling. But you can bet I’m still not going to let that check wander off! Tell your money where to go, don’t wonder where it went! #thedebtfreeyear #babystep2 #workshare #everydollar #everydollarbudget #financialpeace

Today, paying off debt looks like building a websi

Today, paying off debt looks like building a website for the lovely Barbara Cornthwaite. I love that my business allows me to be creative every day and also work towards my goals. Supporting authors just makes it extra special. #barbaracornthwaite #cozymysteries #janeausten #authorwebsites #babystep2 #thedebtfreeyear

Today was not all wins. Today was “lost a battle

Today was not all wins. Today was “lost a battle with self-control.” Today was “didn’t keep my word to myself.” Today was “fighting to keep my annoyance in check because I stayed up too late.” But today was also “reloaded my cash envelopes so I won’t get sloppy with the budget,” and “picked up my grocery order and made a dinner tinnier than eating out.” We celebrate every win. Today, paying off debt looks like sitting on hold with the bank to make another $2,000 principal-only payment on my student loan. $70k down, just under $36k to go. And now it’s your turn. What will you do to take control of your life and your finances today? #thedebtfreeyear #babystep2 #financialpeace #studentloans #studentloanpayoff

Who says baby step 2 has to be boring? The lightin

Who says baby step 2 has to be boring? The lighting is not so great here, but I’m so excited to finally be using my new standing desk. I sit all day at the day job and then half the night working all the businesses, and standing desks are expensive! Not in my budget. But I found this desk on Craigslist, did a little cleanup in Dad’s garage, and now I’m set! So. Excited. #babystep2 #thedebtfreeyear #sidehustle #dayjobtodreamjob #standingdesk #amwriting #woodworking

I’ve been waiting to read Tempting Tait ever sin

I’ve been waiting to read Tempting Tait ever since I met Tait in Blessing Bentley…which I just realized I haven’t actually reviewed yet. #BecauseTooManyBooks. At that point, all we knew was that Tait dropped off Bentley’s radar when he got preoccupied with some girl staying at his house. That had to be trouble. And when you look at the cover, even if you’ve never read Chautona Havig before, you just know this is going to be a fun read. And it was. But it turned out to be so much more. Here’s my review (link in bio) and a shoutout to @socalcwc . #christianfiction #bookstagrammer #funsummerreads #summerreading #temptingtait #newrelease #tbbb @chautonahavig #socalcwc #socalcwc2020

Today, paying off debt looks like eBay for breakfa

Today, paying off debt looks like eBay for breakfast, eBay for lunch, eBay for a late night snack. My goal is to have all the Tom Clancy books sold this week (there are about 60 of them I think). #secondhandbooks #ebayseller #tomclancy #thrillerbooks #babystep2 #thedebtfreeyear #financialpeace

Today, paying off debt looks like cooking a $6 tur

Today, paying off debt looks like cooking a $6 turkey that’s been in the freezer since the holidays. We won’t talk about which year’s holidays. This week’s debt free menu will feature turkey sandwiches, turkey stew, turkey curry, turkey salads...and I’ll freeze the rest before I get sick of it. So pretty! #turkey #thedebtfreeyear #babystep2
