On my blog, I typically teach moms and anyone else who wants to make extra money about ways to earn significant chunks of extra cash each month, like through blogging or becoming a VA.

Must-Read Money Management Tips for New Moms
Before we had our first child 9 years ago, we were used to living on two really nice incomes. We both had professional jobs and no debt other than student loans and car payments, and we really had no commitments to anyone other than ourselves. We traveled wherever we wanted, ate out at restaurants often, and didn't really give much thought to saving or scrimping because we didn't feel the need to do so whatsoever. When we decided that I would be a stay-at-home-mom when our daughter was born, we were in for a super rude awakening! I went on a long journey of figuring out the money rules Keep Reading
