Do you know what your credit score is? I’ll be honest, my credit score at one point was respectable. Then, I got in a bit of trouble with my credit cards and my credit score suffered because of it. Now I’m at the point where I’m trying to become debt free on my own and repair my credit score in the process. Not always easy but I know the journey will be well worth the effort. Learning to live within a budget has not been an easy journey. It’s always been easier for me to spend money instead of just save it. But, reality is that if I want to work on repairing my credit and get out of debt, I know that I need…

Today, I want to talk to you a little bit more about my beloved cat, Abby. Granted, when I was younger, I never thought I would be saying that as we always had dogs. But, over the years, this sometimes cantankerous (and spoiled) cat has become a constant companion. From the beginning, she was my cat- even though it was my ex-husband who really wanted to adopt a cat. Maybe it was because I was at home with her during the day that she bonded with me quickly. Whatever the case may be,…

Welcome to a new(ish) addition to Just Another Mom! As you’ve seen in the past, Squeaker has helped me out with reviews before. Mostly with books, but now we’re expanding a bit into the realm of toys. So, any review that’s specifically about toys that she’s participated in, will be in Squeaker’s Review Corner. For our very first post in this category, I am so thrilled to talk to you about our experience with the VTech Go! Go! Smart Wheels RC Racetrack. Squeaker honed in on this the day we got it, mostly on the race car so I wasn’t sure if she would enjoy playing with the whole set. Of course that was also dependent on mommy getting said set together properly…. which I…

I may or may not have mentioned my love for all things pumpkin. And I’m sure that I’ve mentioned that I do have a bit of a sweet tooth. I’m still on a mission to cut back on my sugar intake, so I don’t indulge in a lot of desserts or candy. I treat myself occasionally and I have definitely noticed the difference in my overall health. I’ve also noticed the difference when I go on a bit of a binge. But with this being the season for all things pumpkin, I wanted to try out a brownie recipe. Now, as much as I do like baking from scratch, there are also times that I enjoy the convenience of a boxed mix. Maybe it’s not…

We’ve seen it said by experts, or maybe we’ve said it ourselves, “television should not be a babysitter for your child,” and while I do wholeheartedly agree with this statement; I can only agree with it most of the time. I’m a mom of three, certainly not a certified expert in child development but I think I have a grasp on this whole parenting thing. Or at least I’m doing a great job pretending that I do. I’m a stay at home mom, which means of course, that I have all of the time in the world to do crafts, activities, make amazing homemade meals, bake cookies, keep a clean house… you get the picture. So why do I let television occasionally babysit my toddler…
