I’m sure you’ve heard about UPromise before, but did you know that anyone can have an account? You can designate the money you earn to go to anyone you want. My mother has an account and her funds are set up to go to my son for his college. It’s also my understanding that the $ can be used for anything, not just for education! There are many ways to save with UPromise, but here are my favorites: link your {Read More}
This Week’s Dinners 11/1 We’re Eating Out!

This post may contain affiliate links.
My goal is to provide dinner for my family for an average of $5 except on special occasions. We don’t have to eat beans and rice to accomplish this goal! We typically only cook a main dish 4 or 5 times a week, so each main dish cooked will be for 4-6 servings, and the leftovers will be for easy dinners on the weekend, or to freeze for another week. This cuts down on cleaning, cooking, and meal planning- saving {Read More}

I took Little One back to the eye doctor this morning. Her pressures are still perfectly normal and she continues to show no other signs of glaucoma except for her excessive tearing. The tearing is from two unrelated causes. She has double blocked tear ducts as well as something called entropion. Entropion is where her eyelids flip inward. Basically her bottom eyelashes rest on her eyes so they aren’t protecting her eyes from all the floating particles in the {Read More}

How I Know My Three Yr. Old Is Really Listening

We have a rule in our van that if Turkey gets to listen to “his kids” then he doesn’t get any toys. This way if he wants to play with a toy then I can get some “me music” and when he listens to his music I know he’s actually paying attention. One time he actually got in the van and said “I need a toy momma, so you can listen to your music” It’s a compromise that works great, {Read More}
