All opinions are mine alone. #GiveHappiness #CollectiveBias Though it’s an important concept to work on throughout the year, during this time of the year, it’s a great time to start teaching kids to give back. Or, if you’d rather, you can call it paying it forward. Whatever the case may be, it’s the time of year that I think is ideal to teach this all important lesson. Along with teaching kids gratitude, empathy, respect, and manners; teaching kids to give back is one of my top and foremost priorities. I feel that it truly does go a long way in life when they learn to give back. But how can we go about…

Why You Need a Budget

Budgeting is not an easy topic but one that many deal with or face. Why do we fear budgeting? For some, it’s a matter of sacrifice and learning to live with less. This prospect may scare us. For others, it may be coming to terms with our financial reality. For example, when we carry a lot of debt and we’re already living paycheck to paycheck; the thought of fully facing our personal finances is a stressful situation. However, living within a budget does not have to be a scary situation. In fact, a budget can be financially freeing once you get used to it. And I would even argue that if you’re in any sort of debt, you need a budget. Let’s talk about the…

How early do you get your holiday shopping done? For some, it may mean purchasing things throughout the year. For others, it may mean waiting until the last minute. And for others, it may mean waiting until one of the best shopping weekends of the year: Thanksgiving weekend. In the past, it just meant going out for Black Friday and then along came Cyber Monday. Now, there are a handful of stores that start their holiday deals on Thanksgiving. And while this may seem like a controversial move on the part of the retailers, it also opens up a new venue of savings for holiday shoppers. But where do you stand when it comes to Thanksgiving shopping choices? Are you a Black Friday go-getter, a…

What to Do When Your Toddler Bites

Perhaps you’ve heard that sometimes when a shark takes a bite out of something, it’s an exploratory bite. Perhaps the same can be said about toddlers when they bite and hey, at least with a toddler we know that there’s no risk of being completely digested or losing pints of blood- right? Even if it may not be completely malicious, most toddlers will bite at some point in their little lives. It goes right along with that precious stage of hitting and kicking. It’s a developmental issue but not something that you should make too big of a deal out of. I’m not suggesting that biting people is okay, far from it. But there are definitely things that you should (and should not) do when…
