Why I’m So Proud To Have My Bevel & Bond Cutting Board

Over the last 40 years, I’ve used many different cutting boards. I’ve had various types of wood, plastic, and synthetic. All of these have been thrown away because of wearing too fast. Then we found out about micro-plastics getting into our food. We now use wood and don’t use it for cutting meat. I purchased one for my kitchen, but the deep cuts are unsightly and the knives dull very quickly. I was extremely excited when I received the Bevel & Bond Cutting Board. This cutting board is the real deal. It’s very heavy and will not slide on your counter or island. It looks very different from other cutting board. Quality Wood This board uses end-grain hard maple wood, grown in the USA. When the knife cuts across the end-grain wood it doesn’t make marks easily and protects the knife edge. So your sharp knives are not needing to be sharpened as quickly. Wood Size This beautiful wood board measures at 17 x 13 x 1.75 and weighs 10 pounds! I’ve never seen one as substantial. I wondered about the thickness and weight. Why does it need to be so heavy? The thickness is because of the end grain choice of design. The end choice means the the slice of wood faces the top. It Will Last A Long Time This board weathers very well and gets a deeper color with age. If it’s taken care of well, it will last and last. It even has a 5-year warranty on workmanship. It doesn’t cover soaking, machine washing, or heat. No cutting board will survive those things. Instead use this care method: Hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately. Condition regularly with Bevel & Bond Board Balm, the signature blend designed to nourish the wood, enhance the natural grain, and help protect against drying or cracking over time. Helps You Prevent A Mess It has a deep juice groove for those messy vegetables and fruits. It also has handles built in, so there aren’t attached to the wood, but are part of it. Another plus is that it won’t move: because it’s heavy and has rubber feet that hold it’s place. I hope that you’ll also look into getting one for your family. It comes in a gorgeous box with a magnetic latch. It would make a lovely gift for a birthday. or Christmas.

The Financial Check-Up Every Couple Needs Before Saying “I Do”

Planning a wedding is often stressful, with decisions to make concerning venues, color palettes, and menus.  Yet, one of the most critical foundations for a lasting union isn’t based on a perfect invitation—it happens when the couple has an honest conversation about money. Financial stress remains one of the leading causes of marital problems. Bringing two independent financial lives together can be complex.  Open, intentional communication before marriage sets the stage for a seamless transition into shared life. If you are preparing to tie the knot, here is the essential premarital financial checklist to ensure you and your spouse create a healthy, successful  future. 1. Don’t Wait: Adopt a Proactive Mindset Early A common pitfall is assuming the couple will agree on finances after the wedding. They usually won’t —unless a plan is in place beforehand: 2. Put Everything on the Table: Complete Financial Transparency A successful marriage partnership requires complete honesty about where each person stands financially. Schedule dedicated time for an uninterrupted “money meeting” to review the math: 3. Agree on Goals and Define “Financial Success” Two people rarely define success the exact same way. One partner might equate success with entrepreneurial risk and rapid wealth building; the other might seek a debt-free lifestyle and a gradual increase in wealth. 4. Run the Numbers: Optimize Everyday Expenses Building financial resilience often comes down to intentional day-to-day habits. Review ways to save as a team: Category Practical Decisions to Discuss Monthly/Annual Subscriptions & Tech Compare phone plans, internet tiers, cable, and streaming services to eliminate overlap and find deals to save money. Utilities & Comfort Discuss practical household conservation: adjusting heating/cooling thermostats or monitoring utility usage. Find agreement and have a sweater handy. Personal or Public Transportation Comparing price and convenience of personal vs public transportation. If choosing personal vehicles: will you purchase reliable used cars or lease/buy new? Insurance Policies Compare employer health plans to determine who should carry medical coverage. Shop bundled quotes for auto, renters/homeowners, and term life insurance. 5. Establish Time-Saving Systems & Roles The best financial plans fall apart if they only work on paper.. Agree how money will be managed on a daily or weekly basis:  Final Thoughts Many couples don’t want to talk  about money before marriage.  It isn’t romantic, but is one of the most important ways to prevent a break-up.  Completing a financial plan is an act of care, trust, and commitment to your spouse’s peace of mind. By setting up a plan that is transparent, unified, and growing wealth today, you pave the way for a marriage’s financial success.
