Wrap Up Your Finances

Holiday spending often leads to bigger bills in January. But have you thought about rolling into 2021 with finances that are solid, a budget, you can follow, and laser-beam focus on getting out of debt? 


In a recent post, I talked about wrapping up 2020 so you can create the life you want next year.  But for too many people, “wrapping up” their finances in December means ignoring their credit limit, spending too much, and saying “I’ll get to it” when it comes to eliminating debt. 


Stop being a slave to money and debt. That’s not cool. 


Here’s what is:

  • A budget that lets you pay the bills, save for the future, and still have FUN. Yes, it’s possible. 

  • Seven months’ worth of living expenses in an emergency fund that’s ready when disaster strikes. 

  • Student loans, mortgages, credit card balances-all debt paid off (for real)

  • A solid estate plan with your will, trust, or other documents completely handled and tucked away

  • A healthy retirement fund with prudent investments that let you jump ship sooner than you think

  • Money for fun...and for life’s coolest adventure



If money isn’t your thing or you were never taught how to manage your money, or you are always broke. You just need some balance in this category and I can help you with that. 


One thing I have always known in life is debt and not having enough money leads to a stressful life. 


One thing that  I learned from “The Oolaguys” -- Dave Braun and Troy Amdahl, authors of the international bestselling book Oola Finding Balance in an Unbalanced World-- is that financial stress not only robs you of happiness, it negatively impacts family life and takes away choices when it comes to career, fun time, and lifestyle. 


If your finances need to be your #1 priority next year, I can help. I’ve joined forces with Dave and Troy to bring my followers the Oola formula via a 10-week coaching experience designed to transform your life, your finances, your relationships, and more.   


Message me and we can jump on a call about it. 


Not only will coaching help you define the goals you want to achieve, but it will also keep you accountable for doing the things every day that bring about the results you want.

I help women overcome their negative mindset and start remembering their light is worth shining! 

Welcome! I'm so glad you found your way here.

 
Hey there! πŸ‘‹

I'm Michelle — the voice (and occasional chef hat wearer) behind this little corner of the internet where family, fun, and food intersect... just not always in that order. πŸ˜„

If you've ever wondered how to slow down long enough to actually taste life (and not just the leftovers on your kid's plate), you're in the right place.

Here's the deal: I'm a busy mom with a heart full of curiosity and a kitchen full of half-used spices. Some days we're chasing sunsets, exploring small towns, and hopping on steam trains. Other days we're elbow-deep in pierogies, trying a new recipe, or laughing over whatever adventure the day throws our way.

I believe the best memories aren't always the expensive vacations or picture-perfect moments. More often than not, they're found around the dinner table, on a spontaneous road trip, or during an afternoon that wasn't planned at all.

What You'll Find Here

🍰 Real-Life Recipes
Simple, family-approved recipes with comforting favorites and fun new twists. Food just tastes better when it's shared—especially with people who understand that dinner time doesn't always go according to plan.

πŸ‘¨‍πŸ‘©‍πŸ‘§‍πŸ‘¦ Family Adventures
Weekend getaways, staycations, hidden gems, and affordable outings that help families spend more time together and make memories that last.

πŸ“ Feel-Good Finds
Local businesses, fun activities, products I genuinely love, and simple ideas that make everyday life a little more enjoyable. Because sometimes the best adventures don't come with a hefty price tag—they just require a little curiosity.

Why This Blog Exists 
I didn't start this blog to make you jump through hoops.

I started it because I was tired of everyone else doing it.

You know the drill. You find a recipe you're excited to make... and before you can even see the ingredients, you've dodged six pop-ups, watched three ads, and learned someone's entire life story.

Or you're told to "Comment COOKIE πŸͺ for the recipe!" so a robot can send it to your inbox—and suddenly you're getting emails every day about things you never asked for.

No thanks.

Around here, I respect your time. If you click on a recipe, you'll get the recipe. If I recommend a place to visit, I'll tell you why it's worth the trip. No endless scrolling. No keyword games. No nonsense.

Life is busy enough.

I'm not here to waste your time—I'm here to help you enjoy it.

So if you're looking for recipes without the endless scrolling or pop-ups, family adventures that won't break the bank, honest recommendations, or just a reminder to slow down and enjoy the little things, you've found your people.

Grab a cup of coffee, stay awhile, and make yourself at home.

I'm so glad you're here. ❀️
