60-Day Financial Fitness Challenge: Day 5
Day 5 came and went! I had some time to think about this challenge while going for a walk by the lake this morning. It was bright and sunny and a balmy -4 degrees Fahrenheit.

Welcome to Day 4 of the 60-Day Financial Fitness Challenge. Today’s task: Pay off all credit card debt For most people, this might actually be a huge undertaking.

A magical summer farm weekend
I had the opportunity to participate, and plan, a Farm Buds trip at the beginning of August. For a couple of years, this initiative has taken place informally, in the spare time of a now good friend, Matt Barthelemy. It’s really a pretty cool setup. Folks from the Cities and locals come to a farm […]
