Weekly Money Check-Up is a series by My Pretty Pennies. 1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on dentistry. I hadn’t been to the dentist in 3 year (eek!) because frankly I hate the world of dentistry and all their tools of torture.  Because I avoided the dentist for so long I have 7 (!) cavities! Ugh.  I got three of them filled to the tune of $300 +. 2. Today I am thankful for all the wonderful fire fighters in Colorado working so hard, in such crazy heat to save homes, forests and this beautiful state. 3. … Keep on reading —->

Weekly Money Check-Up is a weekly series by My Pretty Pennies. 1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on dresses. With 2 bridal showers next month, a wedding in July and hot weather coming, I’ve been looking for new dresses.  I was able to find 3 dresses at Ross and spent a total of $45.  1 of the dresses was $3.99 and will be perfect for the hot July Louisiana weather. 2. Today I am thankful for my determination.  I’ve been throwing myself out of my comfort zone quite a bit lately and if it wasn’t for that determination, … Keep on reading —->

1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on gas. I was excited to get 300+ miles out of the last tank, but that meant I had to fill up the entire tank.  I can’t believe how expensive it was! 2. Today I am thankful for the rain we’ve had in the last couple of days.  Colorado has been super dry so we needed the moisture! 3. Money can’t buy happiness. One free thing I did last week that made me happy was go out with a friend to Doors Open Denver. 4. I will consider this week a success if I get … Keep on reading —->

Weekly Money Check-Up is a series by My Pretty Pennies.  1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on groceries.  I really didn’t do anything expensive this week, nor did I buy anything new.  It was a pretty low-key week. 2. Today I am thankful for lotion.  Sounds weird, I know, but it’s been super dry lately! 3. Money can’t buy happiness. One free thing I did last week that made me happy was I got together with a few girlfriends for our monthly potluck.  This is always a good time. 4. I will consider this week a success if I can keep … Keep on reading —->

Weekly Money Check-Up is a series by My Pretty Pennies 1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on a Camelbak.  I’ve vied for one for YEARS, but never bought one for various reasons.  I had used The Mister’s old knock off hydration pack for the last couple of years, but the water doesn’t taste right and I noticed a few holes in the backpack part of it.  It was time I get my own; after much comparison shopping, I settled on this style for $54 & free shipping. 2. Today I am thankful for my sturdy legs that get me … Keep on reading —->

Weekly Money Check-Up is a weekly series by My Pretty Pennies 1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on plane tickets to New Orleans.  We just found out that The Mister’s best friend is getting married this summer, so we’re heading down to The Big Easy for a week to help celebrate.  I’m excited to finally see this city!  Luckily I had a $151 credit with the airline, so we got our tickets for about $200 each. 2. Today I am thankful for the beautiful weather we’ve had!  I’ve been getting out and playing all week! 3. Money can’t … Keep on reading —->

Weekly Money Check-Up is a weekly series by My Pretty Pennies. 1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on gas.  Good golly it’s gotten expensive!  I decided to fill up my gas tank all the way and it was $37.  I haven’t spent that much on a tank of gas in a LONG TIME!  I sure am glad I have a little fuel-efficient car and not something bigger! 2. Today I am thankful for my amazing ability to sleep.  Yesterday I was soooo tired.  I laid down to take a nap around 2:15, got up around 3:15 and then … Keep on reading —->

Weekly Money Check-Up is a weekly series by My Pretty Pennies 1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on groceries. Nothing exciting, unfortunately. 2. Today I am thankful for the weekend.  I wish it wasn’t so short! 3. Money can’t buy happiness. One free thing I did last week that made me happy was spending a very lazy Saturday, doing nothing much. 4. I will consider this week a success if I make it through with my sanity.  Last week was out of control, so I’m hoping this week will settle down a bit. 5. I consider myself an extrovert, kind of. … Keep on reading —->

Weekly Money Check-Up is a weekly series by My Pretty Pennies. 1. The most I’ve spent this last week was (aside from bills) I bought a daily deal for registration to the Colfax Marathon 5K.  I’ll be running my first 5k shortly after my 30th birthday 2. Today I am thankful for my home.  As I was leaving my apartment at 7am to move my car from a loading zone (to avoid a ticket), I was grumbling and whining to myself…It’s cold out there, I don’t wanna move my car…Then a homeless man pushing a shopping cart crossed my path.  This put … Keep on reading —->
