Back to School is right around the corner so parents are checking those school supply lists twice! As a stay at home mom the budget is pretty darn tight, so it’s imperative that I stretch EVERY single dollar as far as it will go! It also means I’ve had to get creative about where […]
As our first family trip to Disney World approached, I realized that my 6 year old had never experienced the thrill of a roller coaster ride before! This could be BAD. We all know how kids can be and if he hated the first ride he would probably refuse to ride others as well, […]
As we mulled over the ticket options while planning our trip to Disney World I came across the Memory Maker add-on option and was extremely intrigued. On one hand I LIVE with my cell-phone in my hand so would this additional add-on truly pay off or could I just capture all those images on my […]
Tax return time is almost right around corner! For middle-class families tax season is probably more exciting than Christmas (after all we get a chance to replenish our wallet instead of emptying it for once). We get a chance to pay for some of those needs and repairs we have been putting off and […]
I won’t lie leading into our first trip to Disney I felt kind of insane and riddled with anxiety. Our oldest is 6 and in the “prime” age group for exploring and enjoying the Disney World parks, but at 14 months our youngest was definitely a cause for concern. I was worried how he […]

I know, I know, it’s a little early to be thinking about Christmas. But with tickets already on sale and the attraction opening in less than a month I wanted to let you in on what Enchant Christmas is all about and why you SHOULD go if you can. Last year we headed […]
Ever since IKEA opened a store in my backyard, every once in a while I get the hankering to get lost amongst the reasonably priced Swedish furniture and other knick knacks while sipping on some lingonberry juice. From my son’s playroom to my magnetic make-up storage, there are few places in our home […]
It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since I was five months pregnant with our youngest son and soaking up the sun in Coronado. We also have a 5 year old so as you can imagine he wanted to go-go-go the entire trip and luckily for us there really is a TON to […]
The details were different, but the end result was always the same. I would be cleaning up the salon shortly before closing, when a woman would walk in hair pulled up or a hat covering her head and ask if I had time to look at her hair. She would sit down in the […]
