Dearest reader,
To be honest, I don’t know what day it is number-wise or day-of-the-week-wise. But I do know that we have entered a new year, and with a new year comes a new beginning. I’ve been hearing about other bloggers posting about this thing called a Word of the Year and I felt really inspired to do my own. Continue reading

I cannot wait to start preparing for my new semester. Back-to-school shopping makes me so happy, it’s no wonder I decided to become a teacher. I love gathering all the supplies and syllabi and writing down due dates and club meetings. This is the first thing I do every semester as soon as the syllabi for my classes becomes available.

Dearest reader,
One of the things that I want to do in life is be able to manage my money smartly. I come from a household that didn’t have the money to budget – we lived paycheck to paycheck. So budgeting was not something I grew up doing. When I made my first budget, I thought that it was too easy and that I had done something wrong. It wasn’t that I had done something wrong, it’s just that I need to think about a few more things to add in order to become more financially aware.
