GUEST BLOGGER: LIZ VANCE

Hey there! My name is Elizabeth but you can call me Liz! This is my first blog post for Utah Money Moms and I’m excited to be here! I have a background in Family Finance and have recently joined the Utah Money Moms team. I love ice cream, Harry Potter, and the time of day when the sun is low and everything is golden! Hopefully some of the stuff I share on Utah Money Moms is interesting and helpful to you!
My husband and I just moved to Holladay and are excited for all the things our new area has to offer! I started doing some research for free or inexpensive things to do around here, so I thought I’d share some of my findings! I’m always tempted to spend money on fun stuff all summer long, but there are lots of things that don’t require much or any money! I found most of these things after a few minutes on Google. So, if you don’t live near Salt Lake, jump on Google and find some fun things to do near you. Let me know what you find!

Holidays (ALL of them, birthdays, anniversaries, religious holidays, valentine's day, etc.) can be a wonderful time of traditions and togetherness, increased expressions of love and gratitude, service, and charitable giving. However, the additional social events, and expectations of the holidays, including gift giving, can create stress, anxiety and increase depression. Some of this increased stress and depression has been linked with financial stress (Renter, 2015). Here are three helpful tips for avoiding financial stress during holidays.
