Welcome to the first Friday Finds of 2021!
I’ve been trying to think of ways to keep this series fresh in the new year. As one who has definitely been feeling information overload these past 9 months more than ever, I want to make sure that what you’re getting here is useful and succinct without feeling like too much.
Here’s what I’m going to experiment with:
Things will continue as normal, but I’m going to try and focus each weekly post a little more.
Rather than 8-12 random items, I’m going to try and have the majority of them focused on one topic and sprinkle in a few randoms – such as recommended products and recipes as usual.
While this is the main idea I’m shooting for, let’s be real – it probably won’t be cut and dry that way every time. It’s just a new way for me to think about what I’m sharing with you.
We’re going to kick off the year with a little fun… TAXES.
OK, maybe not so fun, but we have to think about it sooner or later so we might as well just get it over with. 🙂
