How to Save Money for College -- The EASY Way


Your Ad Here

Do you worry about how you are going to save money for your kids to go to college? I use to worry until a friend told me about setting up a free upromise account.


What is a upromise account? It is a free account where participating companies donate a pre-arranged percentage of your purchases to your account.

How does a upromise account work? You securely register the credit cards, debit cards and any rewards card of participating companies. Then, when you make purchases at those participating companies they donate a percentage of your purchase to your account.

Let me give you an example. I have a car so I buy gas regularly. Prior to joining upromise, I primarly bought gas from BP. But when I found out that Exxon is a upromise partner, I began buying gas from Exxon exclusively because I need gas anyway and I may as well buy it from a company which will give a percentage of the sale in my upromise account. Now as long as I buy at least 20 gallons of gas in a month, I get $.01 per gallon. Sure, this isn’t alot of money if this is your only strategy. However, this is one example of a company. Upromise has alot of well-known participating store partners to help you save money for college so if you add your grocery store purchases, online purchases at Target, Walmart, Best Buy and the Gap, etc. The college savings can really add up. Some people are saving as much as $300.00 or more yearly.

Using a Weekly Planner can Save You Time

Do you have a mom's agenda book? I find having a book of weekly to-do list really helps to keep me sane. You might think why do I need to make the effort to write a to-do list. What if I told you that you will feel less stressed which is a constant reality for a mom. Try it. Make a to-do list everyday for a week and reflect on how it makes you feel at the end of each day.

Mom's are constantly interrupted this makes it difficult to stay focus, let alone organized. Do you find yourself blowing your whistle when your are interrupted? It is because your concentration is being disturbed. Do you feel like you live in a reactionary world? Do you want it to stop? Start by making a list of things you need to get done.

Keeping a weekly planner has the following benefits:
  • Focus - You will always have a focal point if you get distracted which will get you restarted on the task at hand.
  • Less stress
  • Remember all necessary tasks
  • Don't waste time on unimportant tasks

It doesn't matter what type of planner you use, whether its paper or digital. Just make sure you stick to using it. I prefer a combination of digital and paper because its always easier for me to write something down and transfer it to my PDA (personal digital assistant) later.

There are alot of companies which offer organizers to match a variety of needs. Franklin Covey offers a variety of paper and digital organizers. Remember the Milk is an free online organizer which even allows you to update your to-do list via phone. Another to-do list service is cozi. Check out these products to see which one you like best. I do not recommend you use a one-sheet to-do list because they are easy to lose.

Times when life got very stressful for me, my to-do list became even more valuable to me.

If you are not using a to-do list or some sort of weekly planner system, decide to start now. It can give you sanity!

How to Unclog a Drain: Go Green

Did you know that there is a cheap green way to unclog a drain?  I find this hard to believe so I must share it with you.  Recently, I had a tough clog to unplug.  I was looking for a way to unclog it economically.  Liquid plumber is expensive and there is only on use for it.


After doing a search on how to unclog a drain,  I wacided to try a solution which suggests using baking soda and vinegar because it is cheap.  Also, baking soda and vinegar both have multiple uses.  I poured in one-half cup of baking soda followed by a cup of vinegar.  I worked like a charm.  Once, the vinegar was poured into the water  it started to foam and fizz.  Then the drain opened.


Here are some other uses for baking soda:
  • laundry detergent booster
  • natural whitener for teeth
  • deodorizer
  • oven cleaner (cuts grease without damaging the surface)


Baking soda is a miracle.  I now keep a large container of it under my sink at all times.  It cost me about $2 to unclog my drain.

Grocery Shopping List Made Easy







Do you forget to put important items on your grocery list? I do. It really makes me mad when I forget to certain items on my grocery list. To alieviate this problem, I put a sheet of paper on the refrigerator and as I run low or out of stuff, I write them on the grocery list.

I also let my family know to do to the same. This way if they use the last of something and I don't know about it, it is still on the list.

I order my groceries online. So before I order my groceries, I double check the refrigerator and cabinets to make sure I have everything.

Have you tried ordering your groceries online yet? I have and I like it. By ordering my groceries online, I don't overspend by buying impulsively (I only order what is on the list) and I don't have to wait in long lines.

So put a sheet of paper on the refrigerator so that you write your grocery list as you go and order you groceries online. Then, come back and let me know how this works for you.

Save Money on Kids Clothing

28FY6UYUDJWK





Kids clothing can be very costly because kids grow so quickly. A great time to buy clothes is when they are on sale and at the end of the season.

The Children's Place is having a big sale at their store on amazon.com and shipping is only $5. I like shopping at the Children's Place because they great quality, generous sizes and exceptional sale prices. Their clothes are high-end department store quality. The generous sizes give your child room to grow into the next size. I remember buying my son a size 6, when he grew into a size 8 he was still able to wear the shirt and pants. So, I was able to buy a size 10 for him to grow out of.

Another, way to save money is to buy the next size up when the clothes are on sale. I always by my son's next winter coat at the end of the season. At the end of the season, the coats are on sale at 50% off or more.

Since kids grow out of their clothes so quickly, I buy 2 weeks worth of clothes at a time. This way they have plenty of clothes to wear in-between washes.

3 Ways to Save Money on Kids Clothes

Buy 2 weeks on clothes - Kids grow fast. Don't buy too many clothes.
Wait for end of season sales
Make sure you buy quality clothes - Shop at The Children's Place when they are having a sale. They offer quality clothes and generous sizes

This is how I shop for kids clothes and it help me save time and money because I am not constantly going back to the store and I am not buying clothes he won't wear. This is an easy way to keep your kids clothes budget under control (I wish tackling my clothing budget was so easy) You can control your kids clothing budget.

Click here to get to the kid's clothing store.

Wii Fit: A Home Personal Trainer


Wii fit is a space-saving gym with an added benefit. It also provides great entertainment for the whole family.

To use the Nintendo Wii as a personal training system, you will need a wii gaming system and a wii balance board. The wii balance board calibrates using age and weight. This is the same pertinent information a personal trainer would use to design a personal fitness program for you. It also serves as a personal trainer by tracking your calories and allowing you to customize a personal program to help you reach your fitness goals.

The two games fitness programs I like the best are hoola hoop and skiing. I call them games because I was introduced to the both of the first time at a family party and was impressed by the activity level that was involved. Each activity provides a total body workout. I felt just like I was skiing and hoola hooping after the wii corrected my posture and motions (just like a personal trainer). You don't just have to try an extreme sport, they also offer traditional fitness programs such as yoga, strength training and aerobics.

When you are not using the Wii as a personal trainer, the kids can enjoy the gaming system. You can keep them distracted and entertained while you take care of other tasks by letting them play games on the Wii.

I lost 10 pounds in 30 days by using the wii fit. If you decide to try the wii, you will have great results too. I am not just talking about losing weight, but the entertainment value as well. And the compact design of the wii system and wii balance board will fit anywhere.

Audiobooks Make Reading Easy







Do you wish you could catch up on your reading? After kids come along, it seems Mom never has the time to do things she use to enjoy such as reading. I now buy audiobooks and listen to them on my ipod. You might say audioooks are for blind people, but think again. An audiobook allows you the convenience of being able to multi-task which is one of Mom's many specialities. I like read listen to my audiobooks which I clean up or wash dishes.

The first audiobook I listened to was money saving expert Robert Kiyosaki. He is the author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad in it you learn how to develop a get rich mindset. His "rich dad" taught him and his best friend Mike that it is important to develop their financial intelligence in order to be rich.

Just to put things into perspective, I enjoyed the book the same as if I had read it. You know how you reread passages in a story to make sure you understand it? You can do the same with an audiobook by rewinding it.

I encourage you to buy audiobooks from now on because they make it easy to stay connected through reading.

Click here to learn more about ipods, then click here to see what audiobooks are available.

Buy and use a foodsaver

Do you throw food in the garbage? I use to. Did you know when you through food in the garbage, you are also throwing your hard earned money in the trash? Do what I did to end this battle. I bought a foodsaver and I use it religiously.

What is a foodsaver? Its a household device which provides a commercial-grade vacuum seal for food. Many times when you go to the grocery store you will find meats packaged in a vacuum seal. A vacuum seal keeps fresh up to five times longer than ordinary food storage bags.

Meat will last from 1-2 weeks stored in a vacuum sealed bag in the refrigerator. On the hand, if the meat is vacuum sealed and stored in the freezer it will last from 2-3 years. Foodsaver storage is not limited to meats, you store vegetables, pasta, rice, etc. It extends the freshness of just about anything. My favorite thing to store in the special foodsaver storage bags is meat I bought in bulk while on sale. It is a shame to catch a sale by using coupons for groceries and let the food spoil so I use a foodsaver.

Check out this foodsaver demonstration. It is easy to use.






Foodsavers should be a staple in every household because it saves you time and money. How much food do you through in the garbage? Be honest with yourself. Then realize, this is money you could be saving.

What do you do next?

Teach Your Family How to Cope with Life Changes


How do you deal with changes in your life? Do you go with the flow or resist it, only to learn later that you will still have to adapt to it? Since changes are apart of life whether they are expected or unexpected, it is important to learn how to with life changes. I recently read a book called, "Who Moved My Cheese?. It is a parable about life and dealing with change. I highly recommend this book.

The book is quite effective whether you by the kids, teen or adult version. The 4 characters are 2 mice and 2 littlepeople who are small like mice, but look like people. The story chronicles their journey through a maze to find cheese.

This story is so easy to understand that when I need my son to make changes he is reluctant to make that I remind him of the story and the character I need to be like which is Haw who knows change is hard, but required. He usually straightens up and acts appropiately after one or two reminders.

If you are going through changes in life that you are having difficulty with check out "Who Moved My Cheese?" It should be required reading for the entire family.

Use Online Tutoring


Does homework time frustrate you sometimes? Do you find yourself wondering if you are explaining the homework where your child will understand? Do your dread homework time? Try online tutoring help. This is a great resource because the more comfortable our kids are with computers as learning tools and not just video games the better. Also, online learning provides and effective way for our kids to learn by providing one-on-one sessions.

How it works

Your child interacts one-on-one with a tutor online to get help on any K-12 subject including math, science, english and social studies. You log into the student center using your library card where you will see the various subject available for live homework help along with Proofpoint and SkillsCenter Resource Library. Proof point is a real-time writing center which allows you to interact with tutor real-time to collaborate on writing assignment so that they will develop research and grammar skills. The SkillsCenter Resource Library offers worksheets and videos on various subjects so that students can work independently including standardized test preparation. Click here to get prepare for homework help.

Before your session begins with the tutor, you are prompted to complete a survey to give the tutor preliminary information about your question. This is really helpful because it causes you to have to focus and organize your words to get to the point.

After your session, you will complete a survey to rate the quality of the service you receive and any other feedback.

I like online tutoring because it is a one-on-one service so it is like my child has his own teacher and it shows your child that computers can be used for educational and recreational purposes.

Check with your local library before paying for a tutoring service because some libraries offer the service for free. Even if you had to pay for online tutoring it is well worth it. Kids today are bringing home alot of homework so you must utilize your time wisely. Otherwise, you will stay up until midnight everynight trying complete homework.

Working Mom Time Management Tip – Take a Break







Are you leaving work thinking I got to make it to the day care before I am charged overtime? I do. This is very stressful. Then, you have to pick up your child and make sure their day was okay without skipping a beat. As a working mom, all of these things are done before you have chance to reflect on your day or take a breather.

Working Mom Stress Management Tip: Why take a break?

Before I started taking a break, I use to come home immediately and begin cooking. Then one day a light bulb can on, I always give my son a timed 30 minute break before he begins his homework. Also, he makes sure he gets his full 30 minutes by saying don’t start the clock until I come out of the bathroom or do whatever it is. I decided to take a break too for 30 minutes.

Afterwards I felt refreshed and focused, the rest of the night I felt relaxed and not so overwhelmed with trying to get homework complete, dinner ready or prepared for the next day. Even if you don’t have 30 minutes, take a break for 3 minutes it will make a difference. I call a 3 minute break a 3 minute vacation, it is where you think of a happy time and place for 3 minutes without interruptions.

Working Mom Stress Relief Tip: How to take a break?

To take a 3 minute vacation all you need is a timer and a quiet place away from everyone. Then, let everyone know you need peace and quiet for 3 minutes without any interruptions and that the timer going off will signify stopping time. Make sure everyone knows what you mean; even a two year can understand to sit down or be quiet until the timer goes off. A helpful tip: leave the time where the kids can see it, but not touch it or tell them not to touch depending on your child’s age. You might want to have 2 timers on hand: 1 you leave where the kids can see it and one you have will you so everyone knows when time is up.

All moms feel guilty about taking a break, but all moms need one especially working moms. This will help you all of your many jobs much better. It will lead to reduced stress because you won’t feel like you have to do everything at once. You will think more clearly and take care of important things first.

Working Moms Work Life Balance Tip: Develop Healthy Eating Habits as a Family

With overweight and obesity rates being about 30% for kids and adults, it is time to re-evaluate our diets. Sure I know you are saying that I am too busy to cook dinner every night, fast-food is much easier and convenient. Even Michelle Obama professes the same dilemma while balancing the work life challenges, but she encourages us to do better by feeding out families more fruits and vegetables.

Thanks to the internet we have choices our moms could never dream of such as online grocery shopping and delivery. You can actually order your groceries on the internet from the comfort of your home, and then have the groceries delivered. With this type of convenience you are saving time, stress and money. It can be difficult navigating the grocery store isle with kids who want everything in sight and let’s not mention the long lines to checkout. All of this will be null and void if you simply make your grocery list and sit down by the computer to order. You can even use grocery store or manufacturer coupons. Click here to sign up for online grocery shopping and receive $10 in free groceries.

The convenience of online grocery shopping can help you get your family on track to healthy eating because the time you save by not going to the grocery store can be used to plan meals. By planning your meals you will know exactly what your family is eating. This is not something you can control by going to a fast-food restaurant.

To make meal planning easier, use a cookbook with a quick, easy and healthy meal theme. Why? It takes the guesswork out of meal planning by giving your recipes that are healthy and easy to make. This also makes putting a grocery list together much easier.

Here is a list of some of the quick, easy and healthy themed cookbooks that I like:

1. Rachel Ray’s 30-minute meals cookbook – Rachel Ray has mastered the art of 30-minute meals. She has several 30 minute meals themed cookbooks. They are designed to make cooking at home fun. Click here to learn more about Rachel Ray’s 30-minute meals cookbooks.

2. Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade Cooking – Sandra Lee’s cookbooks help you get quick and healthy meals on the table by using the 70/30 rule. The 70/ 30 rule is 70% of the meal is homecooked while the other 30% is store-prepared. The meals are tasty healthy and light. My favorite is Semi-Homemade Cooking Made Light. Click here to learn more about Sandra Lee’s Semi-Homemade Cooking.

3. Biggest Loser Cookbooks – The biggest loser cookbooks are based on the strategies to eat healthy as told to the contestants of the popular NBC show the Biggest Loser. My favorite is the Biggest Loser Family Cookbook: Budget Friendly Meals Your Whole Family Will Love because it shows you how to save money while eating healthy and makes everything convenient. Click here to learn more about the Biggest Loser Cookbook series.

By combining the convenience of online grocery shopping and using meal planning tips to promote a healthy lifestyle, you will help your family develop healthy eating habits.

Working Mom Time Management Tip: Use Online Grocery Shopping


Are you too busy to go grocery shopping? Do you wish you didn’t have to go to the grocery store? Try online grocery shopping and order your groceries from the comfort of your home at your convenience.

Let’s face it. Working moms have so much to do in such a little time. Therefore, anything you can do to save time on a mundane task is important. It will not only save time, but it will reduce your stress.

Shopping online reduces the amount of time it takes to go grocery shopping. Simply order your groceries and wait for the delivery time and date you set to come. By not going to the grocery store yourself you save time and money because you are not going to the store. The time you work spend going to the store and waiting in line as well as the money you will spend to get there such as gas. This is the money you can use to pay the fee for the delivery. Online grocery shopping is the same as going to the grocery store yourself without waiting in line. Simply prepare your grocery list, gather your coupons, place your order and reserve your delivery time slot at your computer in the comfort of your home.

Online grocery shopping fits conveniently into a working moms busy schedule because you can order anytime that is convenient for you with the same options such as shopping with grocery coupons and loyalty/ rewards cards.

When I first used online grocery shopping, I didn’t know what to expect. I found out Stop & Shop’s online service is offered through peapod.com so I signed up with them. Click here to sign up for online grocery shopping. You will receive $10 in free groceries just for trying the service. Then, click here to download coupons for groceries. My online grocery shopping experience was great. When the delivery person arrived at my door with the grocery during the specified time, the experience was priceless because I simply accepted delivery of the groceries I ordered online from my home. No trip to the grocery store and no hassle. You definitely should try online grocery shopping because you save time and reduce stress.
