Finding my Niche...




So, a blog, isn't a Diary?

This is not what I am hearing from the numerous blogging groups I frequent. I suppose my life really isn't anything super exciting. I am not royalty or have an exciting career or anything. I am just me, an average hardworking momma, full of stress and anticipation. With lots of real issues. From monetary struggles to marriage issues. But who wants to read my Diary? It would be mostly melancholy, but could perhaps let others know they aren't alone. That other people out here, are having the same issues. But who wants to read a book without a happy ending? The end of my Diary would essentially come at the end of my life. Eh, how morbid is that?! Okay, Okay. So I am going to have to pick a general topic to focus on and then work from there to see what the little fishies bite at. Always open for suggestions, if anyone would like to share.

What am I good at? Or at least what do I think I am good at!
1. Being Organized-I use to be much better at this, before the rug rats entered the scene.
2. Being in charge! -I am a supervisor of a team of 6, at my day job.
3. Raising My Kids-I suppose that's open to interpretation but I think I am an awesome mom!
4. Managing Time-Not necessarily for maximum efficiency, but for the most important-iencies!

So, I am thinking I blog about being a fulltime working momma who has to juggle, work, hubby and kiddos. Still seems pretty broad-spectrum. But this is life, it's a myriad of different things. We all wear so many hats. I suppose the single most thing that makes me the happiest, other than seeing my kids happy and health, is saving money! I strive to save money each and every day! I coupon (not extreme), I try to cut costs as much as possible and try to keep my finances in order, to the best of my ability. I think I have found it. I think managing your finances is the root of all piece of mind and happiness! With more money, you feel more secure, you can do more things, and possibly live a little. And by that, I mean a real little, in my case! A saving money blog! Wonderful if I can keep a section on the blog, called my rants, where I can just rant about whatever is bothering me. Not sure if the blog-gods would approve of such a thing!

A saving money blog! I think I can handle that; it makes me smile! Wonder what sort of topic breakdown I can come up with for the blog.
1. Essential Shopping on a Budget-Couponing/Deals
2. Budgeting-Reducing/Cutting back monthly expenses (to include budgeting materials)
3. Earning Extra Money-Side Hustles/App Kickbacks/Earning Money in your "free" time
4. Free Events/Things to Do-Reviews & Resources

Still thinking, it seems I may still have to broad of a subject, I suppose I can break it down even further from the last four ideas. I really like Free Events and Things to Do, especially when you're on a tight budget, like I am. Ok, Earning Extra Money-w/App Kickbacks.

How about Free Events & Free Money! I love FREE! Plus, this is something I would be able to share with my friends and family, unlike my current blog.

It's a work in progress, I just feel like I have soo much to share, I don't know where to start!

Why it's important to chaperon, fieldtrips!

Our first field trip, and we did not get picked to be chaperon's-Ugh. Why is it important to be a chaperon on your child's fieldtrips, you say?! 1. Stranger Danger! A strange person will be in charge of a group of, undoubtedly 6-8, 7-year-old boys! And we all know how unruly little boys can be at that age. Plus, my son is not your typical Mancho boy, he's more on the sensitive side-A total M-path. I'd expect him to probably fall apart crying, rather than get in trouble for being mischievous. Can another parent deal with that? - While trying to keep her, two-eyes on 5 other boys!? I have little confidence in most parents' ability to, parent or babysit, for that matter. It's all in my head, right? I'll just keep repeating this all day, because now I won't be able to concentrate on anything else! 2. No Souvenirs! The kids can't bring anything on the field trip! Ya, I get that, who wants to be responsible for 200 kids and their junk? The...

Box Tops for Education!

*this post does contain affiliate links, please visit disclosure page for more information* As I was packing my son's lunch for school one day, I noticed a little pink rectangle on the bottom of the Ziploc box, it said "Box Tops for Education". I've always kind of known about the program, but never really, completely understood how it worked or the importance of doing it. So, I did a little research, your welcome! What is Box Tops for Education? Box Tops for Education is an awesome program sponsored by hundreds of companies that offer a simple convenient way for families to help earn money for local schools! A typical box top is worth 10 cents to your school of choice. Schools can turn these box tops in for cash, to buy things the school needs; like new computers, playground equipment, books, anything! From time to time, you can even find bonus box tops that can be worth more than 10 cents! It's such a easy, simple way to help contribute to our schoo...

Ibotta, What the heck is that?

*This post contains affiliate links, please see disclosure page.* Okay, so maybe you're like me, always a little late to the "scene", no problem, I can help with this one! 1. So, what is IBOTTA, you ask?   Well, it's a way to save money on things that you buy online or in the store! There are hundreds of retailers to choose from both in store and online! Doesn't that sound amazing!?   2. Ok, so what sort of things do I have to buy? There are tons of places you can shop, in person or online and get some of the money you spend back! I save money when I shop at local grocery stores like Publix, Walmart, Target, Winn-Dixie, and Safeway. And I also use the app when I make online purchases, from places like Amazon , Groupon or even Walmart.Com! Now, when you do what they call "mobile shopping" (making purchases online) you have to go into the IBOTTA app and click the link, to the specific store you want to buy stuff from. No biggie, it wil...
