FINALLY!!! Be the mom you have always wanted to be!!
A little bit about myself... I am a mother who struggles with sanity, money, work, husband, 3 unruly children, pregnancy, and time, every single day. I am not perfect in so many ways. Finding time to just go to work ( and get a break from the kids) was hard to do. Every other month I was trying a new way to make money at home. I decided to try something a little bit different...Doing what I know. And what I know is how to find bargains or just fun ideas for the practical mom. What is a little funny is right now I have a 14 month old baby girl trying crawl all over me while I write this. The undo button is my favorite tab.
One thing that I have been thinking about a great deal lately is going back to school. My husband will finally finish his schooling in 2 semesters. A well deserved nursing degree will give us a little more stability in our unsteady lives. But the question that comes to my mind is "what am I gonna do when I grow up?" So I go to the old stand by, the World Wide Web. I have so many different options as far as school goes. I found scholarships that I didn't know existed, especially for mothers. And school programs that work around my schedule. .
And how about family vacations? Find great family friendly resorts, camping, hotel deals, flight deals, tickets to events, and much more right here. My favorite family deal is all-inclusive resorts. I have a family of 5 and to find a nice vacation that costs less than $7,000 is too much work and most of the time pretty impractical. All-inclusive resorts include meals, drinks, and many many activities. Most resorts will let kids stay free (those are the ones to look for).
