This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own. As the mom of a teen daughter, I'm always looking for entertainment options that showcase strong female characters. My daughter is a strong young woman herself, and I like her to have great role models to see and emulate. Thankfully, there have been some great books and movies with some well-written female characters for kids.

Featuring Madison Wolfe and Zoe Saldana, the movie will be released in select theaters and On Demand on March 23. To celebrate the movie release, we have a great giveaway for one lucky reader.

2018 Disney Social Media Moms Trip Report
Note: I paid a nominal fee to attend the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration, and received perks and discounts. All opinions are my own. As you may remember, last year, I attended Disney's Social Media Moms Celebration on my own. My kids just couldn't miss that much school, so I went by myself. It was enjoyable, and a relaxing time for me, but I did feel sad when I saw all of the families together. This year, I was thrilled to be invited because the celebration mostly took place over the kids' February break. I immediately accepted the invitation when I received it, and we eagerly waited for the celebration to begin. This is my trip report - I'll have travel-specific reviews over on FamilyTravelMagazine.com. We decided to take advantage of the kids' break by arriving a day ... View Post

A Stolen Gift Card?
We all have challenging people to buy for on our gift list. Giving a cash gift card is an easy option, right? Imagine purchasing a gift card as a gift, and then receiving a phone call from the recipient, informing you that the card only had $2.88 on it. That's what happened after I purchased a $75 gift card as a birthday gift. I went to the store, purchased the debit card, and activated it with $75. I tucked it into my purse, and then a few hours later, placed it in a card and gave the gift. That was on a Saturday. When the recipient tried to use it on the Monday, only $2.88 remained on the card. The card never left my possession, and was in a cardboard package when I bought it. The gift card number wasn't visible until the package was opened, so I knew that the card number wasn't ... View Post
Tips for a No Spend Month
I'll be honest - I don't always love the idea of a non-spend month. Like going cold turkey for a diet or other resolution, it can often be extremely difficult.
