March was a hectic month, but there are quite a few things we loved this past month.
Cash Envelope System
I thought I would share a little about the cash envelope system, including the how and the why for you here on my blog. A little back story as to how I stumbled on this system for budgeting. I say I stumbled onto this system because it was all pre wifi and I had no …
It's been a while …
