This year is a quarter over, and writing this post suddenly seems very late. However, 2018 has been a different kind of year, so far, and our finances and free time reflect that. First, let me say that I know I have not been writing as much this year. I am trying to get back on…

That's a wrap, folks! The 2017, 30 Projects in 30 Days challenge is over. Here at BHH, it was mostly a success even though we did not get everything marked off the to-do list, and we had to work all the way into the 32nd day of September. How does that poem go?
