Frugal Living for your Modern Family
We all know that babies are expensive! All of the baby essentials can add up quickly when you are a new parent. When I became pregnant, we were on a budget so I had to get as much free baby stuff as I could to prepare for my new little one.
I know there are a lot of posts that list baby freebies but turn out just to be some samples, that is not what this post is about.

Shopping for your mom can be hard….what do you get the person who gave you life?! As a mom myself, I have a bit of insight into Mother’s Day gift ideas that moms really want.
Flowers are nice but they don’t last very long. I like giving unique gifts to my mom for Mother’s Day, something that I know she would really want or use all year long.
I have come up with a Mother’s Day gift guide to help give you some inspiration to give the perfect gift to the mom in your life. There should be something for every budget.
Having a new baby can be one of the most joyous moments in your life but also one of the most expensive. It is so important to learn how to financially prepare for a new baby so that you can start out on the right foot.
You want to be surrounded by love and joy, not a mountain of debt when your new little bundle arrives.
Did you know that the average cost of baby’s first year is $12,000?! That is just on baby related purchases, that doesn’t even include child care. The price could be even higher depending on where you live.
Taking your child to Disney World for the first time can be a magical experience…at least in your head. When I recently took my four year old to Disney World I knew that we were going to have to deal with some meltdowns. I did everything I could to prevent a toddler tantrum at Disney so that we could all enjoy ourselves…and it worked!
No matter if your family is going to Disney World, Disney Land, or even on a Disney Cruise these tips should help you have a more enjoyable experience.
One of the hardest things about transitioning your child from a crib to a toddler bed is figuring out how to keep your child in bed all night long. We struggled with this for a little while when my daughter was younger but there were a few tricks that we used when our toddler used to climb out of bed.
My daughter is now four years old and sleeps in her big girl bed all night long. I do make an exception when she is sick or had a nightmare. I want her to feel safe in her room and not afraid, because then we will be right back where we started.
