Don’t impulse buy If you see something you love in a store and can’t seem to live without it, but the price tag just doesn’t sit well, do this. Take a pic of the item and brand. When you go home do some comparison shopping. Once you get home you might even forget about it and that will save you a whopping 100% buy not buying it. Shop online if you would be willing to buy it used to save up to 80% off! I know I would. I like to compare prices. You can even use a price comparison app like shopsavvy to see if the item is cheaper online or you can even check out Amazon or websites like swap.com and threadup.com. So that $100 jacket from Macy’s could be $40 online…that’s a pretty big savings. Bonus: Look for for coupon codes at websites like retailmenot.com for percent off and free shipping codes. Also, re-set your browser to a website like swagbucks to make money back on items you purchase online. You can get free gift cards for Target, Starbucks and more! Shop with a ...

I started this silly little thing called a blog when my first son was born, as a hobby. My son is now five and I have since decided to take it from "this silly little blog" to " my business". When I started hardly anyone knew what the heck a blog was, now everyone and their grandma has a blog. So here's what I learned along the way. I think this info would of use to a blogger starting just out, or someone considering starting one. #1 It's not all rainbows and sunshine....it takes so much work and dedication. Full time bloggers work all day everyday. More than forty hours a week. I personally work til 2am sometimes. I do my best work late at night when my kids are in bed. #2 You have to have a good support system and an understanding family. Because it takes so much time you need to manage you time well. You will also need childcare sometimes so you can work interrupted, something I needed to learn a long time ago, after posting some pretty crazy p...

Time is money right? You either have enough money and very little time or you have an abundance of time but lack money. The trick to living well is finding a balance between these two things. I wanted to show you how I make things work as a stay at home and work at home mom. I have two boys, one is in pre-school, which has weird hours. Hello, 12-4? This might be the weirdest school schedule ever, but we make it work. My other son is 2 1/2 so he is home all day. I also have my own school work to do (finishing my B.A. in Business/finance). So here's a break down of how I make it work. This may or may not work for you, but it might help give you a general idea of how this works. Typical day Wake up at 7 (sometimes a little later depending on how my night went and how long I worked) *****must have coffee***** I emerge from my zombie like state with my hair standing on end and my grinch pj's on. Just kidding, well kind of. Then (assuming boys are still sleeping) I g...

10 Must Read Money Saving Tips For 2016 1) The more you run around, the more you spend. Those extra trips to the store for eggs, milk, bread…whatever can add up. Do you really ever just buy that when you run to the store? Most of the time probably not. The more times you go to the store the more you will spend. The solution. Meal plan and go with a grocery list. Plan your meals around what’s on sale for the week too. 2) Utilize free public activities. Get your taxes worth! Use free services like, the library, you can check out books instead of buying them, rent movies, music and even use the internet. Walk your kids to the park. If you have a neighborhood park like I do, take a walk, get some exercise (save money on gym as well) my kids love our park. You can take a ball and play soccer, have a picnic, or just use the trail. Our local park has an amazing nature trail and even has work out equipment like exercise bikes you can stop and use. 3) Research sales cycles. I...
