Petra Lindqvist

Petra worked as a bookkeeper for small businesses for almost a decade before having her first kid, and she brought the same spreadsheet habits home with her. She writes The Honeycrumb's finance and home posts, running the actual numbers on daycare, insurance, and the renovation decisions most parenting sites wave away with it depends. She still tracks her own family's budget in the same format she used for client books.
