About Me




Hello! My name is Ana, I am a mother of two little ones, wife to a most-of-the-time deserving husband and a career woman! I am carving out this little piece of the world wide web, for me and my family, to share with you.

My husband  injured his back very badly about two years ago, right around the time our daughter was born and hasn't been able to work since. For us, every dime counts and so does every smile!

"It can be super stressful and difficult trying to manage a family, Even more so, trying to keep the smiles rolling, with a limited budget! "

I wanted to start a blog for two reasons:
1. To create a second source of income, to help improve my family's quality of life and
2. Because I love spending time with my littles, I spend every second that I can with them.
I just love seeing there little eyes light up! We have two wonderful blessings of joy. One son, that's 7 years old and One daughter that's 2 years old.

A perfect little pair,
of knuckle heads!


I hope you stick around and let me share our narrative with you.
Expect to be, if nothing else, entertained!

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...
