Best gifts for babies 0-6 months– Under $25!
Finding useful and educational gifts for babies can be challenging and overwhelming. There are so many choices out there, it is hard to know what babies will like, use or need. When looking for gifts for babies, I think it is important to shop for toys that are fun, but will also help them develop new skills. Babies learn and change so much the first few months! They learn hand eye coordination, how to grasp objects (and bring them to their mouths!) and develop head control as well as use their five senses. They also begin to work on mastering the skills of rolling and sitting. The toys that I…

Shopping secondhand made easy!
If you’ve been around here awhile, you will know I LOVE thrift store shopping. I love the thrill of the hunt, finding great prices and that it is better for the environment!

Meal planning is one of the biggest reasons we are able to stick to our monthly food budget. Without a plan and a list, I tend to buy what sounds good at the store, forget ingredients, buy extra junk food, etc—all of which results in a much higher grocery bill or extra trips to the grocery store to pick up forgotten ingredients! Weekly Meal Planning I start each week by looking at my favorite blogs and cookbooks for recipe inspiration. After I decide on the recipes I will be using, I write them down on the day of the week that we will have them. As I write down the…

8 Tips to Make Money on Poshmark
I remember a friend of mine telling me that she just sold something on an app called Poshmark. I had never heard of the app before and was skeptical to say the least. Then she told me that she had made around $1000 just from selling her family’s clothes they no longer wore. $1000?! I was intrigued. I went home and uploaded a few workout clothes that I never worn. A few days later I had my first sale and I’ve been hooked ever since! I’ve used the app for two and a half years and have sold over 850 items! The money I have made on Poshmark has provided…
