Times are a very tricky, I know. I would like to think this post is just to give people ideas for extra spending money, but the truth is, there are millions and millions of people who need money to stay alive, right now. It’s unfortunate, and I’ll bite my tongue, beyond that. But, to all…
Back-to-School shopping can knock the wind out of any well-intentioned mom on a budget. Take a huge bite out of that clothing bill this year by second-hand shopping, and find your kids some cute clothes, to boot! You might even decide to start shopping there for yourself, when you see how stylish you can look on a smaller budget!
Ahh. Black Friday madness has begun early this year! I found myself getting caught up in the ads the other day and I finally had to just change my frame of mind. Yes, you can get good deals over the next few days, but be wise about your purchases and don’t spend more than you…
Hello new friends! This is Kristina from Mother’s Niche and I’m thrilled to be the new Family Contributor here at “Or so she says…” A little about me: I live in Utah with my husband and two adorable little girls. I come from a family of 8 kids originally, but after my mother’s “happily ever after” received some major bumps in the road, she re-married to a man with 7 kids. Did you read that right? Yes, I am now one of FIFTEEN kids. Try and swallow that one! The blend of families has been a great one though and I love each and every one of my siblings. Having a love for family life, I received my degree in Marriage and Family studies and currently blog about motherhood, traditions, and provide printables and projects to make your life as a mother easier!
Moving on…
I’m here to save you money today!
How are everyone’s New Year resolutions coming? I don’t know about you but it seems like once January fades away, my goals tend to fade with it. I am determined this year however to stick to at least one of those throughout the year! For the last several years I have had one thing on…
In July 2009, Melea’s little girl was born. She knew that she wanted to be a Stay at Home Mom, but wasn’t sure how their family would make ends meet with only one income. The only thing she did know was that she had to start being smart with the money they did have. Soon after doing a little research, she…
It’s good to be back again! (My previous post, “Plastic Surgery 101“) My name is Jylaire. When Mariel asked me to post again, I honestly was iffy on what to write about. I am definitely not an expert on the subject at hand; just well seasoned! I am now the mother of 3 little ones;…
Summer is all about playing outside, friends, and getting really wet…but, all mom’s know that those things only hold kids attention for a couple hours, at the most. Then they trudge in the house, dripping wet, sweaty, and muddy…you pull out the popsicles and try to send them back out but “no“. They’re sick of…
I think lots of people out there are hesitant to shop online, I love it. In the past, I’ve probably bought 300 things off of eBay…including a piano and two cars…and several hundred items from Amazon, Etsy, and other online merchants. I obviously LOVE online shopping. MOST of my shopping is done online. Why??? –…
I can not introduce myself without introducing you to the most amazing man–my husband Todd! Deals to Meals would not be here today if it weren’t for the support and love from my husband and best friend! He is my number one fan and I am so thankful to have him in my life. We…
