Save Money and Actually Enjoy Your Thanksgiving

by Caton November 5, 2014 ~ 13 Comments

If you’re a reader of my other blog, Budget Blonde, you might know that I am not the biggest fan of holidays. I know I know, I am a such a scrooge, but I have good reasons for it. Just to name a few: 1. People get so stressed around the holidays. Admit it if […]

What’s in Your Wallet?

by Caton November 4, 2014 ~ 7 Comments

Christine over at The Wallet Diet is a financial blogger who believes personal finance should be simple, inspiring, and exciting. How right she is! She also challenged me to reveal what’s in my wallet after she gave a rundown of what she carries around in hers. Her wallet had a grand total of eighteen items […]

One of the first milestones we hit with Budget and the Bees was being contacted to write a Vegan Cuts Snackbox Review. Their products and mission looked right up my alley, so I was happy to accept and grateful for the opportunity. Cat also likes to eat healthy and organic, so read on for our […]

Happy Halloween and happy Nevada Day! My favorite state is 150 years old today! This is my first Halloween in the US in a few years. Before that I was on the road for work and before that I was in college. I’m looking forward to handing out candy to trick-or-treaters, which may or may […]

What to Pack in Your Hospital Bag

by Caton October 29, 2014 ~ 5 Comments

Because I was pregnant with twins, I packed my hospital bag when I was 28 weeks along. I knew that I would probably give birth early. I just didn’t know how early. Because I wanted to have everything settled, organized, and ready to go, I started washing and packing like the crazy pregnant woman that […]

If you’ve been following our blog for a while you might know that Cat and I met on a tiny island in the Caribbean. Although I write more about my recent move to New York, I lived in Grenada just shy of three years. I really loved it there, and I’ll miss it more and […]

My twins turned 7 months old yesterday, and this whole entire year has been a blur. I honestly can’t believe that 2014 is coming to a close so quickly. As they get older, I think more and more about how I want them to love traveling like my husband and I do. Even more than […]

How To Organize Your Desk

by Caton October 22, 2014 ~ 15 Comments

My desk is the first thing you see when you walk in my apartment door. It’s long, narrow, and a crisp white color so everything is reflected off of its surface. It tends to get cluttered easily. Since I’m in charge of paying bills, running three blogs, and taking care of things like thank you […]

Reuse and Recycle Around the Home to Save Money

by Caton October 20, 2014 ~ 15 Comments

In my quest to save as much money as possible and live a little greener, I’ve adopted some habits that, in my opinion, really do make a difference. You can save everything until you become a hoarder buried in your own home. Even toilet paper rolls can be collected and turned into DIY wall art! […]

I’ve seen several great travel posts over the last couple weeks, especially a few Italy guides over at Guten Blog Y’all that have made me nostalgic for my study abroad days. I’ll always want to return to Italy, but there are a ton of places that still need to be crossed off my list. I […]
