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...

DIY - Frugal Portable Height Chart

One of my all-time favorite things to do is be creative. Unfortunately, with so much momming to do, it sometimes leaves very little time for mommy to get her creative juices flowing. So, anytime my little comes to me and wants to create something, I jump at the opportunity to squeeze in some creative time with my little! My two favorite things in the whole world! Over the weekend my son asked me if I would start measuring his height against the wall in our hallway. My first thought was Ya! that sounds like a cool idea, but then I started thinking, we are renters so we would lose the memories when we move. I immediately jumped on Pinterest to get some ideas of how to make a height chart for them, that would actually work for us. I even created a board with some of the cool ideas that I found! I really liked the height chart made of wood, but who has time and money for all that! I wanted to spend no money on this project, 1. because I don't have any to spend and 2. because I ...
