Go ahead. Open it.

In the spirit of the holiday season, it’s only fitting that I give something away, because, I mean really, what’s cooler than giving?! Getting? Well, I guess getting is pretty cool too, especially if you’re the recipient of the most recent giveaway here on iHB. But I mean, c’mon, it’s all about the giving! RIGHT?! Ok, ok, winning an iPad 3 is pretty high up on the list, I’ll admit. And yes, I just said iPad 3!

Merry Christmas To All!

To everyone who has showed up, sat through my budgeting rambles week after week and maybe learned a thing or two, I want to say THANK YOU! Truly, it’s been a blast being able to get my NERD ON and help some people get their BUDGET ON! I am not kidding when I say that blogging has been an awesomely rewarding experience. I have met an awesome community of online pals that are all about helping others and each other with joyful hearts! I have heard stories of people getting on budgets, paying off debt, organizing their financial life and finally getting a handle on all the money that passes through their hands.

People that I know (and sometimes barely know) have hit me up on Facebook or in person to tell me how much they enjoy reading about budgets (I know, right? Nerds ) and how they’re starting on the budgeting basics. That right there is something that humbles me, and really does brighten my days and motivates me to keep doing what I set out to do. And that’s to help put the “fun” back in “Fundamentals of Finance”!

To say thank you to all you awesome, beautiful readers, I’ve joined an awesome giveaway on a team with a bunch of my blogger friends. We pooled our resources and were able to come up with an awesome prize. Like, the AWESOMEST PRIZE you could think of! CHECK IT:
