7 Reasons Why We Game

December 17, 2017 By Kelly

This is a sponsored post for Playful Corp. Family game night is a must in our house. It gives us time to play, laugh, and relax with each other.

How To Use Summer Vacation To Teach Kids About Money

June 9, 2016 By Kelly

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by T. Rowe Price and Scholastic. All opinions are my own. Summer and vacations tend to go hand-in-hand.

What would you tell your 18 year old self?

December 9, 2015 By Kelly 7 Comments

Yesterday my oldest child turned 18. 18. Officially an adult. Oof. I think everyone expects that to mean he’s suddenly a young adult, but adulting doesn’t work that way. It’s not a switch you turn on all of the sudden -blink- and you’re an adult. In fact I’m pretty sure you know exactly what I […]

September 8, 2015 By Kelly Leave a Comment

Do you reward for good grades? With money or with something else? Many parents are confused about whether they should pay cold, hard cash for good grades or how they can acknowledge hard work without money. To make it harder rewards get a bad rap.

Learning To Ride

August 16, 2015 By Kelly

As parents we all work out butts off to provide for our kids with everything they need and more love than they could ever understand (at least until they have their own kids).
