    Where to Find Luxury Sheets Without the Price

    January 21, 2019 - By 

    This is a sponsored post and I received product for consideration here. Luxury sheets are something that I rarely buy for myself. Honestly, have you seen the prices on some of the sheets out there? I can choose between buying wonderful, comfortable sheets or a week’s worth of groceries. I’m sorry, but with two teenagers in the house, groceries win out. New sheets are one of those items, like towels, that I just don’t shop for until we have to. That means I usually sleep on sheets that are good enough, but that aren’t exactly super cozy. That’s why I’m…

    35 Valentine’s Day Gifts That Are Not Chocolate

    January 17, 2019 - By 

    This posts contains affiliate links as a service. I receive a small commission on purchases made via qualifying links. To gift or not to gift, that is the Valentine’s Day question. Basically if you are asking, then pretty much the answer is always get a Valentine’s gift, or even Valentine’s Day gifts. Now, it doesn’t necessarily have to be huge or expensive, but you should cover all bases and be sure that your loved one is not disappointed or upset if you ignore the day altogether. But chocolate and candy are so overdone. I mean honestly a box of chocolates, while…

    What’s My New Word of the Year?

    January 13, 2019 - By 

    Setting goals this year took a bit longer than usual. Admittedly it is now half way through January already, so I am late. But anyone who knows me personally knows time is something I strive to bend at will. LOL. Typically every year I do an exercise where I challenge myself to pick a word of the year or a phrase that guides my personal and business philosophy for the year ahead. This year, I honestly couldn’t think of one until about a week ago and then I was simply way too busy working on numerous jobs to actually write it…

    Do These Things Now If You Have a Child With Special Needs Starting School

    January 7, 2019 - By 

    Is your child with special needs starting school in September? Then you need to do a few things now. I wrote this a few years ago, but it’s still extremely relevant, especially as we start to prepare for a new school year. Right now is the time to register your child. If you have a child with special needs starting school in September then you need to run, not walk, to the school right now. Do not wait. It is vital that schools know who is coming and when. And if your child, or children, have special needs, even more…

    Holiday Flowers with Teleflora Make the Season Brighter

    December 23, 2018 - By 

    Holiday flowers make the season so much brighter. I love to add flowers to my home at any time of year, but when the holidays roll around, flowers are essential. There’s something about that pop of colour that chases away the winter blues. If I had my way and unlimited budget I’d have poinsettias and lilies and pine all over the house. The pretty blooms and foliage are a treat during the winter months. This is also why I love Teleflora Table campaign. I know how much holiday flowers brighten my holiday season, and Teleflora can help you brighten the holidays too.…

    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…

    National Geographic Kids Weird But True – A Perfect Christmas Gift

    December 16, 2018 - By 

    I received product from Moms Meet for consideration here. My opinion is my own.  National Geographic Kids Weird But True! is a series of books tailor-made to get kids excited about learning.

That’s why I love the National Geographic Kids Weird But True! series. Their books are full of fun facts that get kids excited about learning and exploring. They make a perfect gift for the holidays…

    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…
