Mia has been taking piano lessons from Mammy.  She is doing great and is almost done with the first book. Emma can't wait until she is done, because then she gets to start piano lessons.  Mia has been giving her some tips already.

If you're like us, you generally don't eat out unless you have coupons, or a gift certificate. In this case, you get both.When you buy gift certificates at Restaurant.com, you only pay a portion of the price--for example, $10 for a $25 gift certificate. That's cheap enough that not only are they good gifts, but they're a great way to save money if you dine out yourself.Now, even though they're

It's a frustrating fact of life that schools just don't teach about saving money. If kids are going to learn about money and saving, it's going to have to happen at home. Fortunately, the folks at Snigglezoo Entertainment have put together some products that can help. They've got a DVD with signing monkeys teaching kids about the value of saving. And let's be honest--what's not to love about

One of the things that scared me the most about homeschooling when we first decided to home school, was how was I going to teach my girls how to read. I don't remember learning how to read, I've been reading as far back as I can remember. My husband was reading by the time he was four so he was no help either.Reading was a big concern for Erik and I, we are both avid readers. And we honestly have

We love movies at our house. If we were able to afford it, we would go out to the movies every week. But, as it stands now we simply can not afford that luxury. So, how do we still enjoy movies?

We are not big advocates of spending a bunch of money to buy a bunch of stuff that is "going to help you save money." A lot of times the things that you buy are not worth the price you paid for them, they end up not having all the information you thought that it would, doesn't help you in the real world, or they want you to spend more money to get "all the information."I came across the

If you're the kind of person who is looking to save money, chances are you're the kind of person who needs life insurance.Because let's face it--there's only one kind of person who doesn't need life insurance, and that's the person who doesn't have to worry about money.Even if you're single and have no kids, you'll still at least want enough life insurance to take care of your funeral

Okay, if you are like me you just finished your holiday shopping yesterday, the day after Christmas. (Last minute gifts for friends we were seeing after the holidays.) And if like me, you are totally worn out from holiday shopping and crowds, I'm sure that you don't want to even think about setting foot in another retail store until next December! But I beg you to be patient with me as I talk

There are a lot of discount supplement sites on the net, but I'm always a little hesitant to trust my hard earned cash to a company I've never heard of from somewhere I don't know.So I'm always glad when one of the best and most reputable health and supplement vendors offers a big online sale, and that's what GNC is doing for the next 72 hours. I'm sure you're already thinking about those New

There are a ton of rewards programs out there on the internet that give you "points" for buying products or participating in offers. Inbox Dollars cuts straight to the quick and gives you cash.

Okay, this is a serious one. This has been one of the biggest ways we've saved money in our family over the last couple of years. We never, ever pay full price for books or DVDs.
