Every Penny Counts When They Grow Up #smartSAVER
When I Grow Up by P.K Hallinan, was the first book that I ever received from my mom for my child(ren). It’s a book that I had read to when they were in the womb every night before I went to bed, followed by a very off-note Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Although, I’ve given up singing and torturing their poor little ear drums, from time to time we still dig through their mountain of books…

Thank God July is Over #TGJIO #KinderMom
Ahh, what can I say about the month of July…nothing except, thank god it’s over. Last month was jam-packed full of new milestones for my family–all within a weeks time–only one was fun and exciting, the others well lets just say they were filled with terror, sadness and heartbreak. What was supposed to be a relaxing, happy time while I was on vacation ended in us spontaneously moving from one apartment to another, a passing…
