    11 Simple Things You Can Do Today to Enjoy Life More

    “The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.” ~ Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist Life can be pretty stressful and chaotic at times.

    How to Deal with Unplanned Expenses and the Stress that Comes with Them

    With unplanned expenses come unwanted financial stress. Just 2 days ago, we brought home our new car. And while this is typically something you would be excited about, I just can’t seem to find any of that excitement within me. Why?
