There were so many amazing articles this week that I want to share with you guys! It seems like there is a lot of creativity floating around!

Over at Budgets Are Sexy, a new member of the Money family is being welcomed. Love the naming system!

Who doesn't like a well established daily routine? Over at Mish Lovin' Life, she talks about she's feeling now that she and the bf aren't traveling all over the world at a moments notice.

Deciding what you want to do with your life while still in high school is a truly challenging task. I'm lucky that I had a passion and am working my towards getting there. But Leo does an excellent job of explaining the importance of being prepared for any job in life.

Compromise is something we all have to work on, especially in all parts of our relationship. Over at LiveSimply-LiveWell, we learn how they compromise on the aspect of money and paying down their mortgage.

Ah, work. It's something that we all have a love/hate relationship with, which is exactly what Joshua talks about over at becoming minimalist. Earlier in the week I wrote something about my current feelings about my job and it's sometimes easy to see where working for a living is the perfect term to use.

Along those same lines, over at Fit is the New Poor, Michelle talks about finding out what you don't want in a job is just as important as finding out what you do.

And, because this must be some sort of sign or something, Untemplater discusses those people who are not only burned out from work, don't get paid enough and realize something has to give with their job.

How about when you are working or when you are at home, are you using the time you have productively or flittering it away? Color Me Frugal has some great ideas on how to make you super productive and give you time for all the small stuff that never gets done (because one day, it will have to get done!).

And last but not least, over at Dear Debt, the importance of being ready for whatever life brings you. It's definitely important to always have preparations for every avenue in life you want to go down. Because you might find yourself surprised the moment all the pieces start fitting together.


Hope you guys have a wonderful weekend! It's the beginning of the work week for me, so I'll be plugging away and earning the bacon. There are lots of little projects around the house keeping us busy, but slowly it's becoming a wonderful haven for us both. There are also the first few signs of something growing in the garden (other than weeds) so it's all starting to look promising!
