Family Finance Resolutions for the New Year Step 1: Review your budget. It's best if you compare your actual expenses to your original budget for 2018, and see if it's still realistic.

Depending on your current situation, this could be a simple process or a longer one. First, put together a folder for your 2019 taxes, as you should be receiving ... View Post
Protecting Your Retirement
Disclosure: This is a sponsored post for Prudential and SheSpeaks. All opinions are my own. As moms, we have plenty of financial challenges. Parenting is expensive enough, and we also have to worry about college savings. It's easy to focus on the present and ignore the future.

The Alliance for Lifetime Income has been established, with Prudential as a founding member,to help raise awareness about the need for retirement income planning and to help educate about annuities.

Delicious On The Go Snack
This is a sponsored post on behalf of DairyPure. All opinions are my own. It's finally almost summer here, and soon the kids will be out of school. In the summer especially, I'm always looking for healthy, delicious snacks, because I feel like the kids (and I admit, me) eat snacks all day during the summer. If they are going to snack, I want to make sure that they are getting some healthy benefits. Protein is especially a challenge to get them, because they are usually reaching for salty snacks and still don't eat tons of meat. So I was happy to learn about new DairyPure Mix-ins Cottage Cheese. Delicious On The Go Snack: DairyPure Mix-ins Cottage Cheese DairyPure Mix-ins Cottage Cheese is real, delicious cottage cheese, with mix ins of real fruit and real nuts. There are four ... View Post
