Welcome to my Monthly update #12. The 1-year anniversary month of the Total Balance blog has arrived! I wrote my first post on totalbalance.blog on the 25th of September 2018!

Monthly Update #11 (July 2019) – The vanishing
Another month has blown by, and it’s thus time for another riveting update from yours truly. My trusty mascot, Russel the LEGO guy has unfortunately gone AWOL. My daughter claims she doesn’t know anything about it, but it’s quite obvious who’s to blame for his vanishing (unless CatZilla ate him…)! Anyway, I’ve brought on his…
Monthly Update #10 (June 2019) – Robbing the bank!
June has flown by, and it’s thus time to look back at another record-breaking month. – Not in terms of my finances though, but the heat is breaking all sorts of records, frying the Europeans to a crisp these days! It’s been so hot (even in Denmark) that my faithful buddy, Russel the LEGO mascot,…

It’s my favorite time of the month! – Time to look back on the month that passed! I was really feeling the heat in February (it was double digits outside!) – and it was not just because of my vacation. The weather once again broke all sorts of records.

Monthly Update #5 (January 2019) – The Return of Mr. Self-Pity
Since I started this blog back in September, the monthly updates has been my absolute favorite posts to write. They basically write themselves, right? So, what happened in January 2019? I have to be honest with you: I hate January. January is my least favorite month of the year. It’s cold, dark and summer and…
