How to organize board games

My child has so many board games it is insane. They just take up so much space. I have thrown away and donated so much stuff but this is one of the things I can’t Minimize any more or so I thought I finally came up with the perfect solution I grabbed some  sharpies,  scissors ✂️ , zip lock bags of different sizes and rubber bands as well as a basket., I organized smaller pieces like dice, spinners, game pieces in the small bags Kept cards together with  rubber bands put game boards and instructions in the bigger bags. While placing smaller bags in to the bigger bags.

My breast feeding Experiences.

Breast Feeding. this post contains affiliate links. I amazon associate and earn from qualifying purchases. buy your nipple beanie in my  etsy shop today! When I tried breast feeding my 6 year old I was 20 and probably way to young to have children. I wasn't a teenager but I didn't have much established. I was living in Colorado mostly with different people. No where I could actually provide a safe and stable environment to raise a child. So I then moved to Missouri and planned to stay there with a very supportive, loving, kind family. I decided not to after a month or so and my bestfriend flew to St. Louis and came and got me and I moved back into my Mother's house. I delivered my first child in Brockton MA. My mom did not breast feed me. I didn't really know how to and I tried to but I gave up very easily. He was formula fed. Now I am 26 years old. I have a daughter who will be 3 months old on the 11th of June. She is exclusively breast fed. I am go...

How do I know if it is a job scam?

If you are a stay at home mom looking to work from home or anyone looking to make money from home READ THIS. Recently I have been looking for some jobs online where you are an employee rather than an independent contractor & for one that does training at home. I haven’t really had any luck but here is the thing I started joining stay at home moms and work from home groups on Facebook. Tried some networking. In these groups members are supposed to post legitimate job opportunities that allow people to work from home except all I am getting is scams or apps that promise to pay you but they are rebate apps, so you have to spend money to get money back or sometimes they are paying to refer others.

Building your child’s credit (as a minor)

Building your child’s credit (as a minor) Every one wants the best for their children. I at first had a hard time building my credit. I do not want my children to go through the same thing. Did you know you can actually build your child’s credit as a minor?  This is a crazy concept to me. Demonstrate and discuss good credit habits  One of the most important ways to help your children establish good credit it is to talk about how to responsibly manage credit. My 6 year old just asked me what is the difference between a debit card and a credit card. I then explained to him a debit card is money you actually have in your bank account and a credit card is money that is borrowed. I know he’s only 6 but I told him your credit score is basically your life and explained  how important it is to pay your bills on-time and not to borrow money you can’t pay back. Talking about it and actually doing it yourself can help your child to develop good credit habits. Add your ch...
