Teddy Blake Eliza Bucket Bag
We got a few inches of snow last night out of no where but I am looking forward to spring-like weather starting next week. Speaking of Spring, I have the perfect bag for Spring to talk about today. I worked with Teddy Blake several times in the past and am always been a fan of their bags. As the matter of fact, I carry the Vanessa as my everyday work bag. I have it for almost than a year now and it's holding up so well. The bucket bag trend is still going strong for Spring and I am thrilled to add this beauty to my Spring wardrobe.

5 of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to luxury goods
Today's post is a bit different. I wanted to share 5 of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to designer goods. Keep in mind that these are my own opinions. Please don't take it personal. This post is for entertainment purposes only. You do you =)
1. Logo mania: There is no secret that I love luxury goods. However, I will never wear head-to-toe designer logos. A piece of jewelry, a belt or a bag will take your outfit to the next level but not all at once. You don't want to be a walking billboard. There is nothing classy about covering in designer logos.
2. Logo handbags at work: I love my handbags and wish I could use them daily. However, carrying a recognizable logo bag to work is not something I'd do. If you work in the fashion industry or creative field then it might not be a big deal at all. As for my work bag, I switch back and forth between this bag and this bag

Review :: Canada Goose Rideau Slim Fit Parka
- A non-fur parka: I know Canada Goose is known for their fur hood but it's not my cup of tea. It never has been and it never will be.
- A hip-length parka: I tried on the Kensington and it's so overwhelming on my petite frame. I am only interested in hip-length styles.
- A slim fit cut: Canada Goose jackets are bulky in general. There are several slim cuts and those are the ones that I was looking to purchase.
- A pop of color: Canada Goose parkas are available in all classic colors such as black, navy, grey and olive green. However, I only wanted the red one to add a pop of color.

February Recap :: March Plans
{Wearing: Burberry puffer coat | Express jeans}
February goals:
- Learn something new: I went ice skating for the first time last month. I thought I'd have no problem transitioning from skiing to ice-skating. Boy, was I wrong. I had a difficult time balancing myself. It was fun regardless. Hopefully, I'll do better next time.
- Finalize our summer vacation: Our trip to Aruba is booked! The kids can't wait to see the flamingos in person. We will be staying at the Renaissance hotel. I am thrilled to find out that there is a Starbucks on site and the Renaissance mall next to the hotel (what??)

- Re-paint Madelyn's bedroom: Unfortunately, we didn't have time to get this done. My husband traveled quite a bit for work in February. I am not sure whether or not we have time to get it done this month
- Achieve a financial goal: We achieved a financial goal that we set out and I am very proud of it. I shared a few financial tips here if you're interested.
- February purchases: I spent $30 on a few cheap and cheerful pieces last month (the bodysuit in this post and 2 pairs of earrings). I wear stud earrings everyday so I picked up 2 fun pairs to spice up my outfits. Basically, I spent $30 so far in 2019 =)

- File income tax: I always do our own taxes. My goal is to get it done this weekend
- Purge and organize my closet: My closet is an absolute mess at the moment =( I need to spend a few hours purging and organizing it.
- Finalize our Peru trip: My goal is to finish booking our trip to Peru by the end of this month. We already figured out all the details but I still need to make hotel reservations and purchase train tickets. I can't wait to share the details with you.
Looking forward to:
- Celebrate my Mom's birthday: We're celebrating my Mom's birthday this weekend. She'll be 64!
- Celebrate my husband's birthday: Hubby is also celebrating his birthday at the end of the month. I am still looking for fun ideas to celebrate his birthday.
- Spend time with the kids during spring break: Looking forward to warmer weather and spending times with my kids during spring break. Since we already have 3 trips planned this year, we're staying home for spring break

Let's talk personal finances
I mentioned in this post if you're interested in our financial planning process and some of you said yes. We just finished reviewing our financial plan for 2019 so I thought I'd share a few things while they're still fresh in my mind. A couple of disclaimers: I am neither a financial planner nor I have a background in finance. We've learned quite a bit from our personal financial planner in terms of what works best for us. # 2: Please keep in mind that what works for us may not work for you. Every individual/family has a different financial situation. At the end of the day, do what makes sense for you and your family. Note: These photos have nothing to do with this post. Just a few random ones that bring back good times and good memories =)
Step 2: Create a budget plan: Once your debts are paid off, it's time to create a budget plan. In most cases, you can figure out how much you'll bring home per month. However, not everyone has a clear idea of their monthly expenses. To be completely honest with you, we were very surprised to find out that we spent so much money in a month (water bill, gas bill, electric bill, cable bill, phone bill, sewer bill, auto insurance, home insurance, child care expenses, the list goes on...). Having a budget plan makes you aware of what's going on with your money. You don't need any fancy tools. An Excel spreadsheet would do. Create a section for your take-home income and another section for your expenses. A simple calculation will tell you exactly how much money you have left per month. Don't be surprised if the amount is way less than what you expected

Step 1: The first step is to pay off all your credit card debts: Those debts are evil! The goal is to have only mortgage payment and maybe a car payment. Everything else should be paid in full at the end of each month.Step 2: Create a budget plan: Once your debts are paid off, it's time to create a budget plan.
