Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs! If you don’t know, this week is 5 Minutes for Mom’s Ultimate Blog Party, like a block party for bloggers all over the world.
Here’s how it works. You write a post all about you, who you are, what you do, and maybe your favorite or most popular posts. Then you head over to 5 Minutes for Mom and link up. Be sure to stop by and visit some of the other blog hoppers on the list and leave them some comments. It’s a great way to share the social media love, and find some new reads.
Who am I?
I’m Kelly Whalen, mom, wife, writer, social media consultant, and coffee lover. I started The Centisble Life about 15 months ago as a way to chronicle our journey to be debt-free and share what I was learning with others.
What started out as an outlet for my creative energy, has become a business for me, and I love my work! I am so blessed to be able to stay at home with my kids and still do something I love.
My Family
I have 4 kids, yes FOUR.
Nate is 12 and has Asperger’s, is the only child I homeschool, and has a deep love of Legos.
Emma is 8 and is my only blonde and blue eyed child, and has the more spunk and energy in her little finger than I do all day.
Audrey is my mini-me, she looks like me, and she acts like me, which may be karma.
Aidan is my baby at 4, and is hilarious and loves to give the big kids a run for their money.
My husband is my best friend, partner in everything, and puts up with all my crazy. In other words he’s a keeper.

Want more Centsible Life?
Here’s everything you might want to know about me. I’ve had amazing opportunities to work with press, including appearances on the Today Show. You can subscribe to my feed, or follow me on twitter and facebook. You can also watch my weekly show, The Centsible Show, where I talk money and answer your questions.
I’m currently working to raise awareness about childhood hunger. I recently got back from a trip to Los Angeles that involved celebrities, gorgeous weather, and 13 other amazing women. You can rally your own neighborhood to raise funds and awareness by hosting something as simple as a yard sale. For more info head over to Childhood Hunger Ends Here and sign up for a rally kit (which includes amazing coupons, and signs).

I’m fortunate to know many amazing people, but I am so happy I got to know my business partner Julie Pron of Just Precious. We run a social media marketing and consulting business. If you’re interested in working with us you can sign up to be a part of our Parent Power Crew.
Now enough about me, tell me all about you!
