I would be lying through my teeth if I said that I enjoyed the business side of blogging. Granted, when I was younger, I loved to pretend to be an accountant. My mom was in the corporate banking world for a little while so I think this had something to do with it. But that was then. And this is now. And the adult me does not like taxes, accounting, or finances. I like money. I like making money. I like saving money. I like spending money. But I don’t like tracking it. However, thanks to Xero, I am happy to bring you some bookkeeping and accounting basics for bloggers.

As a parent of a special needs child, self-care was one of those things that I often put last. I’ve learned, of course, that even a few minutes is better than nothing. And here’s one way to incorporate daily gratitude as part of your self care routine. Do you have a self-care routine? As moms, we often tend to neglect our own needs. It’s important for us to recognize and realize that yes- it’s okay to take a break. And yes, it is okay to give yourself a time out.

This is a collaborative post with Align as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

When it comes to Squeaker and Sweet B, I try to do this daily. Whether it’s exercising regularly or establishing healthier eating habits; those are just…

How do children learn to get along with others? When it comes to our parenting style, we have tended to blend positive parenting with…

The lessons that we learn as children will often stick with us well into adulthood. Some of these lessons we pass on to our own children and in turn, they might pass those lessons on to their children. That’s why I think it’s important to start teaching kids, at a young age, how to be money smart. So I bring to you, part one of a ten part series on raising a money savvy kid. This first part is going to focus on how to be money smart. And hopefully with this foundation, they won’t need to know how to wipe out debt! As a child, I had pretty decent money sense. I saved my allowance and gift money. I understood that we went anywhere,…
