Make Your Mark with MOO Premium Printing
I received product for consideration here. My opinion is all my own and it is also truthful. It’s closing in on fall conference season and you know what that means, right? Time for new business cards and stationery. Time to take stock and level up on the cute custom printed business tools. True story. My fall and winter are packed with conferences and travel opportunities. I am looking forward to it. The networking part though….oh, I know I need to work on that. Sometimes, business cards are a good bridge to a conversation. Who knows, they might even prompt a relationship. That’s one reason why I needed some new business…

Canadian at Par – 5 Ski Resorts That Don’t Break the Bank
Canadian at par. Those are the sweetest words any Canadian can hear when they’re travelling to the U.S. The Canadian dollar is often very low compared to the U.S. dollar. What that means for Canadian travellers is that we often pay far more on our trips to the States. This post has been updated to reflect 2020 information. At an exchange rate of 1.3 to 1.4, we can pay hundreds more for trips to the US versus trips to Europe or even domestic getaways. Sometimes that means staying in country and not visiting the US at all. BUT, that doesn’t always have to be the case. Here are some great U.S.…

When Feel Free To Share and Free Content Means No Budget
(A few weeks ago I posted this on my Facebook page. Sadly, I have had a big reason to post it again today. I can’t believe some people find it okay to repeatedly ask writers and influencers, editors and others, for constant freebies. This is my letter that I have actually cut and pasted a couple of times and sent to absurd requests ever since June 16. Feel Free to share this free content. In fact feel free to send a link to this post next time someone asks you to do a free twitter party, or a free post, or a free batch of tweets.) I’m putting this to…

What is a Bull Market? Mind Your Money Series – Part 2
Last time, we talked about a bear market in the Mind Your Money Series. Today, we’ll look at a bull market. Just like with the bear market, if you don’t do a lot of investing or watch a lot of financial news, you might not know what a bull market is. I have made it my job in my 40s to do better understanding where and when and how to invest. This month I spied a million magazine headlines speculating about bear and bull markets so I figured I would take some time to map it out for myself so I understand and can pass that on to my readers too.…

Here I am three weeks after starting the Interac 21 Day Credit-Free Challenge and it is time to tell you whether I was successful or not with this adventure. It takes three weeks to change a habit.

Week One – Five Ways to Stay on Top of Debt can be read here. Week Two was Window Shopping. So how has it been overall? I work from home. I have a consulting business I love.
