This week's home helper tip is another way to save money and time by using the ingredients you have on in your pantry. Its inspired by a Food Network show but you'll have to listen to find out which one :) Its fun and easy to customize based on what you have on hand and how old your children are.
For our main course topic today we are getting into the topic of tattling. We'll discuss balancing the desire to keep open communication with the need for children to learn to resolve issues independently.
Want to know what's making my day? I recorded this episode on a snow day about a week ago so you'll hear about how you can take something like dreary winter weather and turn it into a fun family experience.
For this week's recipe topic, its a rice or bean bowl that you can mix up based on whatever ingredients your family enjoys. Use either rice or beans or both! Mix in whatever veggies you enjoy and let the kids make their own. Its a great hands on process for the kids and a meal that's easy to customize for your family. Try onions, peppers, carrots, green beans, peas, or any other veggies you and the kids enjoy.
Any ideas on any of these topics? Any suggestions you can share? Feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] or leave a comment below! -

Thank you so much for listening to episode 15 of Momma's Kitchen Table! Here's what we discussed this week...
This week I talked all about how to keep yourself motivated with your health related goals. By knowing yourself and what your priorities really are in your daily life you can apply different strategies to keeping you on track with your goals. This is a unique way of framing your goals which will keep you on track. No more forgetting that New Year's resolution days or weeks after January 1st. This will help you keep on track for weeks, months and even years so you can turn your goal into a way of life. -

Thank you so much for listening to episode 6 of Momma's Kitchen Table! Here's what we discussed this week...
Home Helper - My Home Helper tip for this episode is to start now and organize your finances for the upcoming holiday season and for 2018. It sounds early to be thinking about it but this is the perfect time to get started! We still have a few months to start saving for the holidays so you won't be overwhelmed December 15th when you realize how much money you need for presents and holiday party expenses. Its also a good idea to get started in September because October tends to be open enrollment for benefits at work. Start planning your 2018 health and daycare expenses so you can take advantage of any pre-tax dollars. This is just one way that planning now will pay off next year!
Here are a few budgeting apps and websites you can try. www.mint.com www.hellobudget.com
I've tried several good ones but I always revert back to spreadsheets. I would recommend making your wish list of all the things you'd like to spend money on in the coming year. Include any home repair or home improvements you need, potential vacations, family activities, etc. Make sure to include the big and small expenses so you can prioritize everything. If you have a complete list and design your budget with these in mind you'll be surprised how much more money you'll find that is currently being wasted. I'll have much more to come on budgeting and home finance so stay tuned.

We'll plan ahead and make sure a certain amount of money is planned for activities for her but still give her the freedom to choose what we sign up for as well.
