Works for Me Wed – Saving Christmas Money

So many people checked out my Saving Money Blog entry I thought I would write how I try and save money at Christmas time on those never ending shopping trips.  It is so easy to over spend or even have no idea how much money goes into all those gifts under the tree.

I could go on again about how my pregnancy clothes and the [...]

Works for Me Wednesday – Mommy Time

Working part time, being a mom, wife, and director of all things family related are great as long as Mommy is HAPPY   That old saying, “If momma ain’t happy, nobody’s happy.”  Is so true and for some weird reason I am hearing it a lot lately.
So how do I stay happy and refreshed [...]
