"I&amp;#039;ve had some excitement in my life these past two weeks. Because I have the good fortune to write the &amp;quot;Mom vs. Debt&amp;quot; blog for Woman&amp;#039;s Day, which I do with the help of Yahoo! Finance expert Laura Rowley, Good Morning America decided to feature my story and detail how Laura is helping me build a sound financial future. On October 22, a producer and two camera crew members arrived at my home to spend the day with me and my children. I happily discussed how I started working with Woman&amp;#039;s Day, and then Laura talked about our goals and her advice on how to get me to where I want to be. I was so grateful! I was so terrified! Remember, I live in a 1970 ranch-style home that measures just over 1,000 square feet. I have done some updating, but I still have far to go. I am a bit uneasy about all of America viewing my original kitchen that is an ongoing joke with my kids. We actually have one drawer that snapped off and is non-repairable. We crack up at how the aluminum foil and sandwich baggies peek out of it. Did I mention that my living room is half painted? In preparation for my visitors, my mom and I scrambled through the house trying to bring out the best of my little home. Yes, I spent some money at HomeGoods for a little bit of fall decor, and a local plant nursery too\u2014but this is Good Morning America! That&amp;#039;s OK, though. When the segment aired on Monday morning, I felt that it portrayed a true honesty about my family, my home and my everyday struggles. Why take my life and my finances public? Because I know that I am not unique. I know that there are so many women out there like me with an ex-husband, kids, a full-time job, a little house and financial challenges. I hope that as I truly realize financial freedom, I can somehow show you that you can do the same! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
