We all know how it goes. The end of the month gives us a feeling of immense satisfaction when we see our account nice and healthy. As days go by, however, this starts noticing the pressure of our routine spendings and we struggle to make ends meet by the time the end of the following month is upon us. The fact is, it is hard to make money and even harder to save it. If you would like to ensure you have enough cash left at the end of the month in order for you to spend on your family, you will ...

Box Tops and School Lunches
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #EarnWithBoxTops #CollectiveBias When you have kids, you learn about Box Tops for Education fairly quickly. As soon as the children start school they start to send home flyers asking you to start collecting them. I'll admit when I first got the request I was a tad clueless about what they wanted me to do.

The Ice Castles are Now Open in Stillwater!
Last year, I took the family and extended family out to the Ice Castles in Stillwater, Minnesota.

The kids loved running through the tunnels, ...

That first week home was an eye-opener. We flew through diapers, wipes, and formula. It seemed like I was ...
The Word for 2018 is ……Boundaries
It's the new year and I'm really taking a look around me and looking for ways I can make my life better. My life less complicated. Less stressful. And the one thing that keeps popping up is a lack of boundaries. I suck at setting them and holding them. From personal to professional I can see they are lacking everywhere. So this year is the year of setting boundaries! Setting boundaries is not easy, especially when you haven't been doing them or have let people walk all over the boundaries ...
Styling Your Home for Winter
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of CORT for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. It's official, winter has begun. The temperature has been negative all week and when you add in the windchill it's not even worth heading outside. This time of year, I find us hunkering down inside our homes. But while we're all hibernating in our homes we tend to entertain more. This time of year I like to refresh our home to help make it cozier and keep the warm air in while keeping the cold air ...
