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 me I know how brutally hard this is. Living a…

    Ten Things Kids Can Do on a Cruise #TravelTuesday

    February 17, 2015 /

      Before we left for our cruise late last year we had many armchair travellers weigh in on whether we were making the right choice with our travel budget.
