Guest Post: Baby Budgeting — Milk (And Another Giveaway!)

Nov 02. 2010

Here is Donna's third and final post of her fantastic series on baby budgeting: milk. Considering how much trouble I am having breastfeeding, I won't be lying if I were to say that I get very tempted to switch on over to formula. However, I will persevere for the time being and if I do end up going the formula route in the future, this is another post I will have bookmarked. Donna has also graciously offered to give away a $5 Amazon e-certificate. Just leave a comment to this post by Friday, 11/5/2010 and a winner will be chosen by a random number generator. Be sure to include your email address so that we can contact you if you win. Good luck,...

Guest Post: Baby Budgeting — Diapering (And a Giveaway!)

Oct 24. 2010

Today Donna returns with the second post in her three-part series on baby budgeting: diapering! After briefly delving into the three types of diapering options available to parents today in America, Donna describes myriads of ways to save on disposable diapers. I, for one, will be bookmarking this post for future (and current!) reference. And read on to the end of the post for a great giveaway. Enjoy! Diapering 101 The big debate: cloth diapers vs. disposable diapers When we first found out that we were pregnant, we wanted to do the green thing and go with cloth diapering. It sounded like a good idea and my mom had done cloth diapers (mostly because back in 1981, it was just the more...

Guest Post: How I Got Out of Debt

Oct 13. 2010

Our next guest post comes from Fabulously Broke, one of my favorite lifestyle/personal finance bloggers. I always found her story inspiring and asked her to write a special post on how she managed to clear $60k in debt AND build a respectable net worth. Enjoy! Background I am a twenty-something consultant who was $60,000 in student debt after graduating college, and I cleared it in full after 18 months. Now, approximately 3 years later I have a net worth of ~$110,000. I started my climb out of debt by blogging at Fabulously Broke in the City which is a lifestyle blog with a hint of money talk, and I've just recently started another blog about my other passion: achievable, everyday minimalism and how to simplify...

Pantone Credit Cards

Sep 24. 2010

Debuting in Spring 2011, color authority Pantone will release their own Visa® Platinum Rewards Card in a range of hues that have been selected from the Pantone Fashion Color Report for Spring 2011. Each of the five cards is meant to invoke and express certain moods and attributes: PANTONE 14-0941 TPX Beeswax Warm, Sincere, Generous PANTONE 16-1452 TPX Firecracker Cheerful, Dynamic, Tuned In PANTONE 15-3817 TPX Lavender Insightful, Intuitive, Spiritual PANTONE 18-4039 TPX Regatta Trustworthy, Noble, Generous PANTONE 15-4825 TPX Blue Curacao Sensuous, Tender, Inviting As far as I can tell, these cards do not offer any benefits that are especially superior than that of your run-of-the-mill credit card. Thus I can only conclude that not too many consumers aside from fans of the color superhouse will be tempted to apply for...
