Uncomplicated parenting in a complex world.
Have a wonderful weekend, friends!
I’m writing at Simple Mom today about our family’s goal of becoming debt free. I’d love it if you joined me over there, especially since this is a bit embarrassing and was a difficult topic to open up about. Thanks, friends!
“We’re debt free!” The words I long to be able to shout out loud. Hi, my name is Kara and I’m in debt.
Some of you know me as the editor of Simple Kids, but today I’m going to introduce myself to you as a person living in financial bondage. Or, to be less dramatic, I am a person trying to become debt free.
I won’t go into details, but we did some pretty dumb things with money in our 20?s, both as singles and as a young married couple. We’re spending our 30?s trying to dig out of that debt.
That is how I came to know Tsh: I was inspired by her family’s debt free story. Her straightforward money advice was helpful and relevant. That was pretty major at a time where my debt free resources were some library books on frugality that seemed out of touch with the current times and we didn’t know anyone in real life who was debt free.
I recently wrenched my back playing with my four and six year olds, a reminder of each of my 39 years. I may be 25 at heart, but my spine most certainly is not. This weekend was originally supposed to be about a mini-conference and some work on our house, but instead has found me in bed with a heating pad and moving very, very slowly.
As the snow is falling (again) here in the Hoosier state, I can’t help but think that maybe having to move slowly isn’t such a bad thing?
Have a wonderful weekend, friends!

Pictured above is what the morning after library day looks like at my house: very quiet, lots of cuddling, stacks of books. A little slice of heaven, really. I hope you and your kids have had some moments like that lately, too.
And now this Leprechaun is off to play a few (nice) pranks on her family and enjoy the rest of the weekend. Best wishes!
