    How Do You Budget When You Have Nothing Left to Spend?

    December 17, 2018 - By 

    Having nothing left to spend in the middle of the month way before a pay cheque comes in is a brutal spot to find yourself in, but it happens to many people. Listen, when we were living on one income with small children before I started my business Thrifty Mom Media Consulting there were many times we had zero money to spend, so I had to get creative. Living off of credit is a losing proposition that will dig you further into debt so you need to find a way to stay afloat without going bankrupt financially and spiritually. Believe…

    December 16, 2018 - By

    30 Amazing Family Board Game Gifts

    December 14, 2018 - By 

    Family Board Games are still some of my favourite family gifts any time of the year. My kids still enjoy a good game from time to time and so do we. It beats watching TV, Youtube or Netflix some nights, and is a lot more affordable than heading to the movie theatre, so why not give some as gifts for birthdays and other occasions? We have a closet full of family board games here. When visitors come over and younger children are in the mix this is often the first closet they go for. So, it works in our best…

    December 13, 2018 - By 

    Holiday toys are just fun for everyone. There’s nothing like unwrapping a toy Christmas Morning and playing all day. Remember that magical feeling from WAY back when. I sure do. It’s the never ending quest to capture a little of that feeling and pass it on that keeps me motivated this time of year. With Christmas right around the corner, you’re probably either fully into Christmas shopping or, if you’re like me, well maybe you have a bit more to do. In either case, you probably are still hunting down ideas. That’s why I’ve put together my annual GIFT GUIDE for…

    Celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah Joy with Hallmark Now

    December 12, 2018 - By 

    I am a Hallmark ambassador and this post is sponsored. My opinion is my own. It’s official. We are all about Hallmark this season. Hallmark movies have pulled me in pretty much every night this past 2-3 weeks. I mean, how can you resist? Christmas, plus romance brings all the warm fuzzies. Right now Hallmark is brightening my December, and with their Christmas and Hanukkah home decorations and gifts, they can cheer up any Grinch or Scrooge this season. Christmas and Hanukkah are upon us, and it’s time to spread the joy with Hallmark. Our home has always been full…

    Is Every Step of the Way the Hardest Stage?

    December 3, 2018 - By 

    Is every step of the way the hardest stage when parenting? Lately, I ask myself a lot of questions related to parenting teenagers. Like how is this stage even harder than when they were infants? How am I losing more sleep than ever over my kids? Why did I think parenting would be a good idea? How is it possible this is the hardest stage yet? Are you a parent of teenagers? Do you know what I mean? Do you ever ask yourself why did I have kids? Be honest. Of course we love our kids, who are now teenagers.…
