I LOVE YOU!!!! =) Thank you for supporting what I do!! ♥♥♥ THIS IS NOT A SPONSORED VIDEO View on YouTube via Blogger My End of Day Routine (Fall Edition) by Rachel Talbott There are so many important skills that we, as parents, need to teach our children to prepare them for life beyond the comfort of their parents’ homes. Financial responsibility is a pretty important one! Unless, of course, you plan on paying your child’s bills until he’s forty. Money management is tricky, even for adults. I’ve put together a few steps to basic money management that will help prepare your child for the inevitable onslaught of bills, budgeting, financing, crediting, and banking that is sure to hit her in adulthood. Intro to Money ManagementNeeds vs. WantsKids have a hard time differentiating between what is important and what is not. The first step to money management is learning to distinguish between needs and wants. He may want a new video game but he may need a soccer ball. This is an easy way to introduce budgeting. When your toddler is demanding another Hatchling you can use this opportunity to explain that, as a parent, there are certain things you need to buy her and a new toy is not necessary. Making MoneyTo spend money, you need to make money. Give your children opportunities to earn their own cash. You can use an allowance system, pay by chores, put them in charge of recycling, or reinforce positive behavior. There are so many options so pick which form of money making is best for your family. You don’t need to pay them much, depending on the age a quarter a week can be plenty. Think of this like an investment in your child’s money management future. Savings, Spending, & GivingsExplain the different ways your child can use his money. Keep it simple (no need to start stock exchanging just yet) with these three choices, whether to save, to spend, or to give her money to a person in need or a charity. Spending GuideAct like a guide to spending when it comes to your child’s money decisions. Don’t force him to buy something or restrict her from a certain purchase. Instead, use your own money spending wisdom and tools to help her make the best money management choice she can. Remind him about how the last time he bought a remote control car he never took it out of the box. Or help her look up reviews for that particular video game.
Money MistakesThat being said, if your child is set on making a poor money choice let him. After all, we learn best by failure, right? Allow your child to blow a weeks worth of allowance on hi-chew. You’ll have a great teaching opportunity after the hi-chew high has worn off and his money is gone you. Turn your child’s money mistakes into unforgettable money management lessons. Don’t Buy All of itAs parents we naturally gravitate towards the spoiling spectrum. I often have to mentally check myself when I am tempted to give in to my sons please for another pair of goalie gloves. I try to justify such purchases as needs because they serve a meaningful purpose. Instead, I use this as an opportunity to let my son spend his money. If there is something your child wants encourage your child to buy it. By purchasing important items your child can feel a sense of fiscal responsibility and recognize the value of a dollar well spent. Your child will also be more mindful of the items when she buys it with her own hard earned money. When my child carelessly breaks something (now I say carelessly because I don’t hold him responsible for every accidental infraction) I insist he pays to replace the item. If the item is beyond his budget I will step in to assist or we will work together to create a payment plan. Teach by ExampleSometimes you’ve got to put your money where your mouth is, or don’t. Let your child see your money management in action. When I take my boys to the store I walk them through my purchasing decisions. I’ll explain why I am spending a big chunk of money on a new computer or why I decided to pass on a cute pair of shoes because they were beyond my price point. Take your kids to the bank and let them see you deposit money or review your bank statement with them so they can find out where your money is and just how much you spend on electricity. Who knows, maybe it will help them to be more mindful when turning off the lights. While nothing dampens my mood like the thought of my children growing up and leaving my home I strive to prepare them for that inevitable and heart breaking day.

The post 7 Steps to Teaching Money Management appeared first on How Does She. by Sara Watkins via Home And Garden via Blogger 7 Steps to Teaching Money Management Here’s a little friendly advice for you. If you’re a scaredy cat like I am, then don’t watch The Haunting of Hill House at night before bed. Ask me how I know this is a bad idea. I wouldn’t have watched it at all if so many of you hadn’t written me about this new […] The post Inside the Real Manor from “The Haunting of Hill House” appeared first on Hooked on Houses. by hookedonhouses via Home And Garden via Blogger Inside the Real Manor from “The Haunting of Hill House” ***This post on our favorite wardrobe staples has been sponsored by Nordstrom and Shopstyle. All opinions are our own!*** Importance of Date Night!More often than not, you can find me in comfy loungewear and a top knot as I chase kids around, play taxi, work from home, and maybe (if I’m super lucky) clean toilets. Sometimes it’s difficult to even remember what it was like before children (Not that I’d change a thing)! One thing giving me LIFE, is date night. MY husband I try to go out at LEAST 2 times a month. It gives me to time to feel like a “real” person and reconnect with him. I love being able to take wardrobe staples to go from “mom life” to “date night”. You don’t have to spend a million dollars on two totally different wardrobes. If you invest in the correct wardrobe staples, you can easily diversify your look no matter what “hat” you have on that day! One of my favorite places to shop is Nordstrom. Not only do they have some of the best quality clothing and accessories, but they also have, hands down, the best customer service around. If you’ve ever had to return something you’ve bought online, you know what a headache it can be. Nordstrom makes it SO easy for you to shop. I mean, FREE shipping and FREE returns? Is there anything better? Did you know you could order things from home TO your local store and then have them waiting for you to try on when you arrive to the store? Now, Let’s talk about a few items that can easily transition from day to night and should be in every woman’s wardrobe.1. First up, a GREAT white tshirt.It should be a foundation piece to any wardrobe. This one is a favorite because of the v-neck and light weight material. You can easily layer it, or wear alone. The price tag is budget friendly too! It’s easy to throw on with joggers or dress up under a blazer. I actually own MULTIPLE colors of this shirt! I love it that much. Speaking of joggers, these grey ones are literally the most comfortable around. The material is SO soft and they’re great for those lazy days at home or even running errands. You can find similar beanies HERE.
2. This Leather JacketIn my opinion, EVERY woman, no matter her age or shape, should own a leather jacket. This Faux leather jacket is one of my favorites because of it has a little something extra special called a HOOD. Yep, a hooded leather jacket! Who designed this genius-ness? This gives it a more casual feel for those comfy days at home, but still makes it appropriate for a “hot” night on the town. The gold details add such a pop of fun too! 3. A Crossbody purseCrossbody purses are always a good idea. I love them so much more than a big ol’ bulky purse that constantly falls on my shoulder. This one is especially awesome because it is a tad bigger than most. This means, you can throw a diaper or two in during the day. I found TONS of other options HERE. The tassels and sleek look also make it totally appropriate for dinner and a movie too (with room to stick in some Junior Mints of course).
