It’s time to say goodbye to plastic Ziploc bags forever! A cool new product called bbagz has just been launched, and it does everything a plastic sandwich bag can do – and much more.
I’m a proud mom of a wonderful daughter who joined my family through adoption. But that’s only part of my story. The truth is there were two before her. I was pregnant twice and sadly lost both babies as a result of miscarriages. Like many women, I will never forget these unborn babies or the experiences I had. They will be a part of me always. Since October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, it’s the perfect time discuss how losing a baby affects a woman and how we can all be more understanding and supportive to these grieving moms.
There are truly no words to describe what it feels like to lose a child. It’s a devastating, heartbreaking experience that you never forget. I remember feeling sad, angry, frustrated, anxious, depressed and very alone. What made it most difficult is that friends and family often didn’t understand the depth of my pain. They failed to realize that although I never saw, met or held my babies that they were still very real to me. They were my children, and I will remember them always. Many women who miscarry feel the same way. So, how can you better support them during this difficult time? Here are some tips for helping a woman who is dealing with a pregnancy loss: Read the rest of this entry
I enjoy cafemom on YouTube and wanted to share the Karen Walrond Show. More details below.
There is so much advice out there for parents, but some experts believe that moms might already know the right things to do! Today, Karen speaks with Dr. Laura Markham, author of “Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids” (www.ahaparenting.com) about how to raise your children by following your own instincts.
Karen Walrond is an award-winning lifestyle, travel, inspiration and photo blogger (www.chookooloonks.com). In this show, she speaks with moms and experts about her belief that what makes us different makes us beautiful — and may even be the source of our superpowers.

Teens!
Just saying the word sometimes can be frustrating for parents, especially when talking about their own.
Making them happy or keeping them entertained seems like another job other than the one you get, and you don’t paid for doing what you do.
Here are great suggestions by Caroline Rains
19 Frugal Ways to Entertain Teenagers
Teens can be a tough audience to entertain. Their free time is precious, especially for those loaded with AP classes, sports and music commitments, work, and extra-curricular obligations. For many, down time is spent looking at screens, interacting with friends via social media and Skype, or both. So coming up with ways to engage them without resorting to digital devices is hard. (See also: Timeless Money Lessons From Teens)
But even the most restless and demanding teens will enjoy these frugal activities.
Your kids have most likely been protected from family information or just were bored or confused by your stories when they were younger. But now that they are teens, they are ready for greater honesty and more grown-up tales. Intrigue them with explanations of how grandma paid for college, why great-grandma got divorced, how family members lived during the Depression, what unpopular stances your parents took on controversial topics, and why a distant cousin ran away from home.

In this day and age, having a disposal income to a household (whether it’s a one parent or two) is almost a necessity. Depending on “the man” to give us the income we need is becoming more and more scarce, so going things outside of work or around our work has helped a lot of households get the bills paid and bring stability.
Our friends at Wisebread.com have come up with great suggestions.
Great Ways to Generate Passive Income
Earning income passively is a dream for most people, since it essentially means you make money without putting in a significant time investment. Most sources of passive income will require time and some money to get started, but if successful, these opportunities can generate income for you long-term and without your direct involvement.

I am an Aldi nut! Ever since I found this store in my search of Detroit for quality without breaking the budget, Aldi has been a wonderful friend of mine.
Having food in the household is like a comforting blanket for parents because food not only bonds the family, but shuts up the kids when they are cranky and starving – trust me. LOL
I thank Aldi for all the years I thought I couldn’t provide and helping me to achieve that goal each and every month!
Some people have complained:
“You have to pay for a basket.” But you get your money back when you return it.
“You have to bring or buy your own bags.” I don’t mind because this keeps the cost down for them. Tip: Keep recycled bags in your trunk for quite jaunts without going out the way to go home and getting some or paying for some.
Now don’t take my word for the benefits of shopping at Aldi’s, listen to @wisebread.com:
6 Awesome Reasons to Shop at Aldi
by Tisha Tolar
Since the price of groceries has been steadily rising and my only local grocery store went bankrupt, I have been trying better food budgeting with a monthly trip to Aldi for the essentials. My grandmother was always a big proponent of Aldi, but that was back in the day before the retail chain really stepped up their game.
As a frequent Aldi shopper, I have discovered that the years have been kind, and the store has really become an asset to our small area where unemployment rates are high and dollar stores are seeing more business than ever. If you have never shopped at an Aldi, I want to provide you some incentive by listing the things I love about the discount store and its offerings, as well as a few minor complaints about the store I frequent.

In this financial crunch, we tend to deny our want to have people over or have “dinner parties.” I haven’t been invited to a good dinner party in a long time and I wondered how we can throw events or small gathering, which can be affordable fun for everyone – especially the hostess.
Even if you have kids, you can transform these ideas into a great gathering for your family and friends. Mix in a fun board game or a great 80’s movie and you have fun for everyone – no matter the age.
