My rule of thumb. NEVER pay anyone any money for anything on the internet. Period. All of the “Buy this book and you will earn $1000 per month” offers are ridiculous.

But, one kid, two kids, and three kids with sports, activities, and playdates threw our family schedule in to chaos. With one of the kids...

If I shop without a list, I end up buying many processed or packaged foods. A shopping list coupled with buying specific menu items helps me stay focused. I am not a good cook, so a recipe gives me step-by-step and ingredient-by-ingredient directions. Read: Idiot proof! I would be ideal candidate for an online...

I spend a considerable amount of time with my family. This makes sense, right? I am a mom. I manage a household of people. I organize the people in the household. I engineer it so that the people in my household get to where they need to be, participate in what they need to...
