How to create your first monthly cash flow plan
We've covered what it takes to start living on a budget and how to plan for unexpected expenses. Now it's time to start creating your monthly budget. What you need to do is make a list of the following: 1. What income you have coming in over the upcoming month. 2. What expenses are going out in the upcoming month. Can I be totally honest? This process just about killed me. It was tedious and takes a lot of time and created a bunch of tension between my husband and I. We had to wade through utility bills, insurance payments, and credit card bills plus try to figure out exactly how much it cost to feed our family, keep the car running, and our house Keep Reading
OK to Wake Children’s Clocks (sanity saver for parents!)
My kids are notorious early-risers and have been from the very beginning (must be genetic). After enduring far too many years (like 2) of dragging myself through the five and six o'clock hours, we found a solution. Wake Up Clocks. Seriously one of my favorite things. Now I don't have to wait until my kids can tell time or even recognize numbers on a digital clock -- they just have to wait until "the light is green" and then they can get out of bed. Not only does this allow me either sleep longer or have some quiet time in the morning, it helps my kids actually sleep longer. I've instructed them to close their eyes if it's not Keep Reading

Your phone goes with you just about everywhere: in your purse, your back pocket, the front seat of your Keep Reading
How to establish good money habits
Earlier I talked about the barriers we often face as we work to get a handle on our finances. More times than not, it's our belief that we are at the mercy of others when it comes to our money: our spouse or partner, our job, our children, the government, our debt, our hectic schedules. Regardless of the excuse we give, 99% of the time, our own behavior is the reason we have money problems. And I totally get it -- telling your money how to act is really, really hard because it means we need to become the person in charge. And this means the responsibility lands squarely on our shoulders. We need to learn how to tell our money exactly how it's Keep Reading
