Hey everyone!
Big news.
We are having a baby!
We are super excited for this new adventure that we are on, and I can’t wait to share more.
I went back and forth on whether or not I wanted to share this directly on the blog, but many of you have been with me for years, and I haven’t really done a life update in a very long time.
I completely understand that a pregnancy announcement can lead to mixed feelings, and both good and bad judgment/advice/etc. Also, I do not plan on having things change around here on Making Sense of Cents, as personal finance is still what this website is all about.
Anyway, this is exciting news for us, as Baby Gardner is due in December 2021!
We are so excited to share that we will be starting our greatest adventure yet, and we can’t wait to show our new family member the world.
Pregnancy has been interesting so far, with lots of nausea (but I actually haven’t thrown up at all) for the past couple of months. Eating has been difficult, which feels crazy because I’m usually a huge eater and will eat anything. But, pregnancy has led to a lot of food aversions.
I am starting to feel better now, though, so I am hoping to get ahead in work, do as many fun things as I can, and prepare for the new family addition as best as we can.
I know that many of you are probably wondering (this is the number one question that I’ve received so far)- Our plan for right now is to live with our new family member on our boat. We plan on taking it slow but eventually doing a lot of travel with our new family member by boat, van, plane, etc.
Please leave a comment below:
- If you have any books or blogs that you recommend I read about pregnancy, starting a family, work/life balance as a parent, traveling families, etc.
- If you have any positive advice or kind words that you’d like to share
- If you have any questions for me.
Thank you so much for following along on my journey over the years. Things are about to get even more interesting!
Have a great week!

Congratulations! My babies are grown up adults, but I lived in a converted school bus with #2. We used a port a crib. Also, carried her around in an old timey baby backpack when she was so small she needed blankets to be wedged in. Modern day wraps will keep your girl close. 🧸

What joyful news! Congrats to your entire growing family.
I, for one, will not mind reading any baby stories. ❤️ Also, as it turns out, there are lots of personal finance topics and money lessons that emerge from parenthood.
So here’s wishing you continued blessings in all that you do — personally and professionally. 🙏🏽
Thank you so much! 🙂
Congratulations. This baby will have a lifetime of adventures.
Thank you!
Congrats!
Side note: Your dog looks PISSED! Lol.
Everyone keeps telling us that, haha! He’s quite old and I plucked him up from one of his naps and forced him to take a picture. Plus, he’s a Frenchie so they just naturally have too much personality, haha!
Congratz on the new addition to your family! I am sure the upcoming baby will have a great time in your future adventures. A future generation of financial independent kiddo in the making. 🙂
Take care and always looking forward to updates on the blog and social platforms.
Thank you so much!
Congrats! I have been following your blog for some time now, and I enjoy reading all your adventures (e.g. living on the boat) as well as your personal finance tips. I wish you well on this new adventure. Congrats and take care.
Thank you!
