Net Worth Estimate: $398KUp from $388K last month. May felt like a transition month. I did not push nearly as hard as I did in April, and honestly, I think I needed that. In a lot of ways, May became a month to rest, plan, and figure out where I want to focus my energy … Read more

Yesterday was rough. I barely slept the night before because the baby kept waking up multiple times throughout the night. My back has been hurting since I tweaked it on Monday.
