As I’ve been thinking about writing our will – yes, we still haven’t sat down and hammered things out – I’ve realized that we need to actually ask some people to be guardians to our kids and to execute our will. Eek! © ostrinka / Dollar Photo Club The question, though, is how do youContinue Reading..
The Costs of Getting Sick {+ a Family Illness Tracker Printable}

Baby Food Freezer Cooking Day
I was not paid to write this post. I received a product to review, and I will only review products that could benefit my readers. The opinions in this post are completely my own based on my experience. I’m a busy mom. I may be a stay-at-home mom, but I have plenty on my plate. The dishes needContinue Reading..
Kids and Food: The Snacking Rule
In my post on how eating habits start with parents, I listed the 10 rules that should be followed in order to teach your kids the right way to eat (according to the French).

Shred Your Own Cheese for Significant Savings!
Over the last seven years, since I started grocery shopping for myself and my family, I’ve noticed one very harsh reality: the cost of cheese is going up and I don’t see it coming back down. *UPDATE 6/17/2015: It’s coming down!!

How to Prevent Diaper Blowouts (or at least try!)
I’ve got a sweet little story for you today. It involves my first-born and lots and lots of…POOP! Haha. It was the middle of the night, I was sleeping, and I heard a faint cry in the back of my mind. It got louder and louder until I realized, THAT’S MY BABY! I jumped outContinue Reading..
Do I Really NEED That?
When it comes to spending habits, I’m somewhat a blend of both of my parents. My mom is a spender, my dad is a saver. I tend to lean more towards the saver and sometimes I border on being cheap, but in the last little while I’ve been an all-out spender, my second mistake asContinue Reading..
Kids and Food: Great Eating Habits Start With YOU
My oldest daughter is an eater. She has her days, of course, and she has certain foods that she doesn’t care for, but all in all, she loves to eat. While crackers and bread top her favorite foods list, she also frequently requests craisins and tomatoes. Am I just lucky to have such a greatContinue Reading..
Let’s Talk Kids and Food
Just in the last few years of my life, I’ve come to regard food in a very high manner. Growing up, I ate food that was convenient rather than healthy, cheap rather than nutritious. We ate from cans, boxes, and a freezer filled with highly-processed, convenient snacks. My parents owned 8 vending machines, and IContinue Reading..
Our Budget Was Put On the Backburner, and Now I’m Gonna Revive It
Call me strange, but I love spreadsheets. And numbers. How I love solving algebraic equations and calculating how much I spent on everything from baby food and bread to diapers and pantries. Budgeting used to be a hobby for me. Yes, a hobby! Then why am I having a hard time finding time for ourContinue Reading..
Solids Feeding Schedule: Month 2 Update
When I started feeding Bella two months ago, I would’ve guessed that she was a less enthusiastic eater than her older sister. I mean, Sofía was always about the food. She couldn’t get enough. Bella, on the other hand, was a bit more timid and cautious the first few weeks I fed her solids. Now, she’sContinue Reading..
