Hi,

Just wanted to ping you a quick message to see if you are open to working with some of our clients?

Generally they like to either produce some content for you or pay you to produce some content for them on your site. They are very keen to work with good quality Business sites like yours and would love to explore ways that we can start that.

Can you let me know if you would be open to: –

Taking some content from us
Writing a post for us
Talking about our client on social media

If you are open to that then what sort of arrangement would suit you? We are very keen to work with you and hope we can find a way to work together.

Let me know!

Regards

Sandra

You are lucky to live and work in California, the state with the best state entitlements for maternity situations. Make sure you take advantage of SDI and Paid Family Leave payments. The extra money will help!

Also, file a claim for Eric’s health event if you haven’t already.

Erica,

Sometimes it no so much that you want the other person involved in and knowlegeable about the finances…………it’s more that you want some acknowledgement and appreciation for caring about and doing all the financial crap……..

Wonderful read! I have a single suggestion for your webpage. It appears like there are some cascading stylesheet troubles when launching some pages in google chrome and firefox. It is working good in internet explorer. Perhaps you could double check that. I have just bookmarked this document on delicious.com to acquire some more visitors to your site.

My fiance and I live in OC as well – working on saving up for our July wedding, paying bills on time, and hopefully someday getting out of a rental!

I’m looking forward to reading more (and stealing some of your tips/ideas) 🙂

I’m really glad that your last blog post ended with a link to a new blog, I’m not going to lie I felt a little pang of disappointment for a second, but no longer. So happy for the new direction your life has gone on (and is continuing to go in) and I look forward to reading all about… your budget. lol

Cheers!
Sarah
