Money Mindfulness

We're going in to this Friday with excitement about quality time with the ones who matter most. We're especially focused on maximizing budgeted resources for friends and family fun. 

While we love treating the family to an afternoon out at the movies or skating rink or even catching a good sale while on me-time, budgets are still important. To help us all be more mindful, here's a fun weekend challenge:  keep all of your receipts from the weekend. Review them next week to see how much was spent on impulse, miscellaneous, and entertainment purchases. We're routing for you!

It's All In the Presentation

Have you tried a spiralizer yet? What are you waiting for? Spiraling veggies like carrots or sweet potatoes or zucchini is different and can help you get more veggies in to the family. Sub out pasta for zucchini tonight in your usual spaghetti dinner after a quick sautee of the vegetable. Add lots of fresh or vegetarian parm for visual appeal!😃

How Do You Do Your Mom Mornings?

Do you rise early to help children and your husband off to school and work? Do you stay at home with a baby or toddlers? Are you usually in a rush⏳ or stressed? Maybe your routine is tempered for balance for coffee and reflection on your daily purposes? 🌞

If you stay at home with children, consider making time for coffee or tea🍵while the baby watches his favorite show. 

The show doesn't have to be "Rocket Science for Future Scientists." It can be perfectly silly. The occasional departure from structure can be refreshing for you and baby!🍼
