Okay, in the case of wanting to be fully transparent and to show how I’m earning money as a stay at home mom who’s making the transition to being a work at home mom; I’m going to start publishing monthly income reports. Because I eventually plan on branching out to other endeavors that won’t be directly related to the blog, I’m calling these online income reports instead of blog income reports. Granted yes, the bulk of what I earn (to this point and until I establish my other endeavors) will be through the blog. But, once I have everything else sketched out and established, I’ll start adding that in as well. So, all of that out of the way- let’s dive in! And yes, though…

After planning a first birthday party on a budget (and subsequently a second on an even tighter budget), I think we’re on track to keep these birthday parties as budget friendly as possible for as long as we can. One thing that will change is when Squeaker is in school and the whole concept of class parties or having more friends come into play. But, even then, I hope to stick with budget friendly birthday party ideas. I’m already thinking of possible themes for Squeaker’s third birthday and maybe she’ll get more involved in the planning process when the time comes around. In the meantime, we could also start saving for her birthday or at the very least, start planning about three months ahead. 7…

The internet makes life convenient, there’s really no way of getting around that. In a matter of minutes, you have a virtual goldmine of information on almost any topic at your fingertips. Granted, some of this information can be misleading or it may just lead to frustration. But, often times, when we’re conducting our latest search on the internet; it’s with purpose.

The internet has also made it easier to file taxes, which usually results in getting that coveted tax return back quicker. But how do you start, what software do you use?

Wise men say only fools rush in – Elvis. Some will say that one of the best song lyrics for relationships is “All you need is love” from the Beatles. I would argue that while yes, love is definitely important; you need more than that for a relationship to truly thrive and survive. You need patience, understanding, respect, humor, growth, humility… I could go on. There is so much more to a relationship than love. And, unfortunately, sometimes it really isn’t enough. When a marriage breaks down and a divorce happens, sometimes you may think that it’s the end and love will never find you again. Or you may be so bitter from the divorce that you rule out love and relationships all together. While…

Perhaps one of the more overwhelming things after receiving Sweet B’s diagnosis, was figuring out the best possible ways to help her. At the time, she was already receiving special education services, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy at home. But, it was also evident that she needed more support. As her mom, of course, I felt that I was more than qualified to help her in whatever way possible but I also realized that I was limited in my abilities. That’s not to say that I couldn’t have learned or that I couldn’t have prepared the type of environment that she needed. But what she needed was also beyond my own ability to provide. So it was at that time that I started…

I may have mentioned before that I am a goal oriented person. I like setting goals and I think they keep far more on task then setting something like a resolution. Sometimes I may have issues with achieving my goals, especially if I’m not breaking them up into actionable steps. This is also something that I’m working on in terms of self improvement and time management. It’s all about steps and breaking things up for me because the more I can plan, the better of I am… most of the time. Now if I could just apply all of that to blogging, I might be good to go! January was an okay month for me on the blog front. I managed to rebrand, mostly with…
