Good Afternoon, Smart Moms! Applying for loans can be confusing and incredibly frustrating. Even after going through all the hoops and paperwork, so many people are still denied! Yikes! I was personally denied by 3 banks before finally receiving financing for my first car. Loans are necessary for those of us who aren’t multi-millionaires–we can’t […]

Hey there Smart Moms! How often do you find yourself wishing you had a little extra dough to fun things with your family, but are just not finding the cash to swing it? Or maybe you just want to go buy a new couch? You can’t seem to afford groceries this month? You’ve been working […]

Because as much as I hate to admit it, debt slowly crept into my life–just like when my kids got the chicken pox–a little at a time until it was an all-consuming nightmare to manage.

I personally recommend tracking your expenses on a weekly or […]
Hello, Smart Moms! I’m so excited for today’s post. Why? Kale chips. That’s right, ladies. Freaking kale chips. I bought some sriracha kale chips last Saturday, and they were so good. I know some of you might be thinking I’m crazy (especially those of you who dislike the veggie family), but trust me. Even your kids won’t […]

Hey, Smart Moms! I love traveling. The first time I went international was an amazing experience but of course I had some pre-trip anxiety. Believe it or not, one of the questions that gave me the most anxiety was “what do I do with my phone?! Do I have to get out of my contract? Do I take […]
Good day, Smart Moms! Until recently, I really didn’t know the difference between folate and folic acid (I thought they were two different things for a while). I figured that it was an essential nutrient for you, and I knew you couldn’t make it yourself. But I still didn’t know what they were or why I needed them. […]
