Learn how you can use Save1 to feed a hungry child! Good friends and long-time readers of my blog know that I have a soft spot for charities that feed hungry children. I love volunteering with a local charity, Backpack Buddies, that sends home food-filled backpacks every Friday with children who might not otherwise eat over the weekend when school’s out. And you only have to take one glance at my blog to know that I’m a big fan of money-saving strategies. Sometimes I even combine those interests, such as in the post 7 Things You Don’t Need But Buy Anyway. Keep Reading

Little Ways to Give During the Holidays & Throughout the Year
Despite the fact that I love flowers and warm weather, I'd have to say I like the Christmas season more than the spring and summer.

Another reason I like the holiday season is because it reminds me of just how lucky I am and, unfortunately, how many people out there are hurting. It kicks me into giving high gear, and I love discovering new ways to help Keep Reading
Quick Breakfast Ideas for School Days
Check out these easy and quick breakfast ideas for busy school mornings! This year, I have two little ones in preschool and keep the baby at home with me. We do this three mornings a week.

The majority of attendees were adults because most of our friends didn't have children Keep Reading

Several years ago, I transitioned from a stressful desk job to being to a stay at home mom. How our family manages live on one income is probably the thing I got asked most about when friends and family learned I wasn't going back to work after my maternity leave ended. Living Beyond Our Means: Could We Ever Live on One Income? Making the initial jump from a comfortable two-earner household without kids to a single income household with a little one was not easy.
