When my daughter was first born, I was on top of making a will, recording all of my financial information and obligations, and ensuring my father had access to my safety deposit box where everything was kept. However, things change. Life changes. What I recorded in my original will is so outdated after just eight […]
Due to unfortunate circumstances that were not his fault, my husband lost his job twice in one year. Yep. Two different jobs and two different losses. The first one was detrimental to us. It was the end of January 2017, and about a week and a half before our daughter’s first birthday party. I had just brought him […]
In a not-too-recent post, I wrote of the issues we were having with our daughter and a severe case of negative attention-seeking behavior. As promised, I set out on a mission to test out a hypothesis that more focused time with her one-on-one would help decrease the negative attention-seeking behavior and replace it with choices and […]
Choosing to work from home can mean that you value being present in your child’s life as much as possible. The opportunity to be there for every milestone is amazing! But trying to balance mom life and work life under the same roof is…..well, less amazing. It’s been six months now since I took the […]

Monday morning, I was greeted with a bombshell. The company I work for, the family-based small company, grew beyond their demand and a corporate America guru was hired to restructure our staff and prepare us for further growth. Let’s back up. My arrangement as a working mom was carefully chosen due to various factors in […]
As a full-time working single mom with two very active children and a non-stop busy schedule of my own, meal planning in advance is an absolute necessity. If I have a meal plan menu set up for the week, that’s at least ONE thing I don’t have to think about after a long day. There […]
Moms, I’ll be the first to admit that at 33-years-old, my dreams look totally different than they did years ago. My life totally turned out different than I thought it was going to. Let me take you on a walk down memory lane. Faith Like a Child When I was growing up, I LOVED everything […]
Just a few weeks ago, I forced myself to really look at the amount – $76,000- I owe to my student loan provider. My stomach dropped to my toes and I wanted to run and stick my head in the sand. My student loan debt is something that has caused me stress since I finished […]
