She's Here!

Last Sunday my husband and I met and welcomed our baby girl. It was something we were looking forward to and tried our best to prepare for, but nothing can prepare you for the actual moment. We're happy to report that she's in great shape and she's already growing up so quickly.

To say it's been a busy week would be a huge understatement. We're so grateful and happy to have friends and family helping us make this big transition, but it's still exciting/exhausting/joyful.

I'll have posts up on Couple Money, but the schedule will be a lighter than usual for the next week or two. I'm just wrapped up with getting to know our daughter 🙂

Congrats to the Living Large Winner

This week I hosted a contest for Clark Howard's new book Living Large in Lean Times. It's a great book and I was happy to be given an opportunity to pick a Couple Money reader to get a free copy. Congrats to College Investor for winning!
