The Spending Blog
Let’s Talk Money
Welcome to the spending corner, where we share the ways we maximize value and minimize spend — making the most of every dollar.
Every day, we invest our time and money into something, and it’s not just the stock market or 401K. It’s the little things, the daily things, like investing in fixing up the home, planning a milestone birthday party, the acts of generosity. How we spend our money is a reflection of what we prioritize and value.


Here, we value community & experiences.
And often we combine both, inviting our community into our home, our celebrations, and our travels. It’s on us.
