Squeaker’s interests are all over the place lately, so that means we haven’t done too many themed tot school units. Instead, I leave access to art supplies, books, and manipulatives for her to explore during the day. We also play a lot because I know that she’s learning through play and I think play is incredibly important for her development. With the recent change of seasons, and her ongoing interest in birds, I figured that we could start exploring outdoors and looking for signs of spring. I also wanted to incorporate letter recognition and some fine motor skills into it; so it would be beneficial for both Squeaker and Sweet B. We ended up with a mini tot school unit (that I also carried over…
Ah, the convenience of credit cards. Chances are that many of us have had a credit card or two at one point in our lives. I personally have had three and I will admit- while they were nice to have at the time, I regret ever opening them in the first place. Even with my small line of credit, usually the minimum, I still ran into problems. Which is why I want to talk about how to wipe out credit card debt. It took me a bit to get my credit card debt under control, but I’m thankful that it’s one thing that I’m not having to deal with too much. But if you do run into this problem, don’t forget to check out my…
One of the most recognizable aspects of modern homes and living spaces is the unabated access to natural light. Thanks to the wave of open floor plan designs, more and more homes are allowing natural light to flood their interiors. For some people, that’s a great shift in interior design and how we live in today’s world. For others, it’s a little too overdone. Natural light is great but it’s much more difficult to control than room lighting. Usually, if you try to control it coming into your home, it will take a physical item to do so. Blinds will need to be installed, a pull down shade and or thicker curtains. All of these things contribute to blocking or limiting natural light from entering…
By now, I’m sure we’ve all seen the commercials out there for payday loans. It’s quick, easy money when you need it. But is getting a payday loan worth it? Is it really something that you should consider when you need money? This was something that my ex and I had once discussed, before we ultimately decided to ask for a credit extension on one of my credit cards. Looking back, I wish I hadn’t done it, but what’s done is done. I also, at the time, applied for a loan from the bank- which again, I wish I hadn’t. I would have liked to have been more mindful with my money, but… well, things happen. But, what works (or didn’t) for me, might work…
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #NaturallyCheesy #CollectiveBias Squeaker’s birthday party was this past Saturday (on her actual birthday- the 5th) and we had a small, intimate celebration that was also our first holiday entertaining event of the year. It might also be our last because it still proved to be more than enough for this introvert, but it was still a lot of fun none the less. We also managed to stay within our minimal party budget so that was a definite win for us. And I am more than happy to share my budget friendly entertaining tips with you. We tend to allocate the largest chunk of the budget to food and…
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…
