9 Things I Love About My 9 Year Old

It wasn't until college that I took my first financial literacy class. I was married before I picked up a book on the topic. Yet now my 11-year-old can already tell you the difference between a Traditional and Roth-IRA, and how compound interest can help or hurt you. She celebrated with us when we paid off our house, and I hope it gives her (and her siblings) hope that she can do that and more some day. I believe teaching my kids financial literacy early can empower them. When it comes to buying their first car, or paying for college, these are discussions we're having now, so when we get to that, it's not a surprise.

This is something I've put off writing about for a long time. And I know with the holidays coming up on a new year still months away, it may not be the most timely topic right now, but I think it's important and there's really no better time than now to start these conversations. And I hope it can help someone who needs it.

In my new blog post I share some tools we've been using to help teach our kids about money, and we have a free printable workbook to help you get started too. Link in bio!

Do you talk to your kids about money?

It's not fun being in a place you feel like you do

It's not fun being in a place you feel like you don't belong. We are all one of a kind, and I think we should celebrate that. I believe that each of us can do our part to help make our neighborhoods, jobs, and schools, places where others can feel like they belong. No matter who they are or what their background is. This video is my story of belonging. What's yours?

I'm honored to team up with the @AdCouncil and @BelongingBeginsWithUs to share the message that #BelongingBeginsWithUs.

#CapitalOneWalmart #Sponsored Here’s something to know about me… I LOVE people. But I don’t know what it is about the last year, but I’ve come to really enjoy my alone time. Am I becoming an introvert?

I took my first solo staycation this year after Mother’s Day. I HIGHLY recommend it, my friends. It’s just some time to rest, recoup from all the homeschooling and work. Sometimes that means quiet time to read or write, and sometimes it’s meditating or just binging movies. Either way it’s a treat, and a chance to hit reset.

I like to use my @CapitalOne @Walmart Rewards Card to earn rewards while away. I can earn 2% back on travel and restaurant purchases. So yes, while eating by myself I’ll order an appetizer as well as dessert, thank you very much. You might even catch me reading a book, or talking to myself. Just know it’s all good and I’m in heaven.

Have you ever eaten at a restaurant by yourself? Give it a try. 🍲

In our house screen time is something I am very passionate about. We don't have TVs in our bedrooms. Movies, TV shows and games are something we enjoy together. I don't take personal screens lightly, so it's a big deal to say I've found something I love letting my kids use.

After trying numerous (and I mean NUMEROUS) kinds of tablets with my kids: From passing my old expensive hand me downs, to subscription models, I've poked around with a lot of options, and I'd never found something I've been 100% satisfied with until Google Kids Space*.

From the teacher-recommended (and mom-approved) apps, to the customization for each of my kids (who are SO different from one another), there's a lot I love about this kids mode. I'm sharing all about it, and the 5 main reasons I'm considering these the best tablets for my family. And friends, they're as low as $59 with NO subscription needed. Plus easy parental controls through Google’s Family Link app, settings for each child and more. Ok. I'll stop rambling so you can go read my new blog post. I'm sharing all about it in a new partnership with @google. Click the link in my bio for more! #googlekidsspace

What is your favorite thing about Halloween season

What is your favorite thing about Halloween season? The food? The candy? The costumes? The movies? Normally I am pretty neutral about Halloween but this year for some reason I'm really feelin the spirit. I mean, my house isn't decorated or anything, but I've actually ordered one Halloween costume, and I'm queuing up all of the Halloween movies.

Need some ideas? I rounded up more than 40 Halloween movie ideas to watch with kids and you know how we roll, yes, we put it in a printable checklist! (Swipe 👉🏾 for a sneak peek) It's broken down by not-too-scary to kinda scary depending how your family rolls. Do you see your favorite on the list? I'd love to know what your favorite Halloween movie is!

I learned pretty early that Lee Lee is my most adventurous child. She has little fear when it comes to bugs, heights and daring things. She's already had more bumps and bruises than her older siblings. I can't protect her from everything. But I can protect her from some of the pests lurking in our backyard.
 I love @CutterRepellent Backwoods® Insect Repellent for when we go further into our backyard (we call it the 2 Acre Woods). We love our space, but it's also home to chiggers! Ugh. Cutter® Backwoods® Insect Repellent repels mosquitoes for up to 10 hours. Just remember to use as directed!

#CapitalOneWalmart #Sponsored I haven’t always been a football fan, but this cute guy I met in college was a HUGE one, and I thought I’d give team spirit a try. Well 17 years and three kids later, we have our own little team of cheerleaders and rooting for our team has become a favorite fall tradition.

We have our viewing party game plan down to a science. We place our Walmart grocery order ahead of time and schedule the pickup before kickoff. We purchase with our #CapitalOneWalmart Rewards card to earn 5% cash back on grocery pickup. Pizza and wings? We get 2% cash back on that too using the card at local restaurants. It’s the perfect perk for our game day tradition!

Does your family have team spirit?
