5 Tips for Going Green and Saving Green

by | | 0 Comments

Guest post by Heather Green... I've heard the phrase “it's more expensive to eat healthy” and have even said it myself a few times! Going green seems to cost more these days so how is a person supposed to eat and live green without going into debt? You would think that organic foods and products would cost less to grow and make since companies and farms are saving money on excess chemicals, preservatives and pesticides. Unfortunately, according to stricter guidelines, green products require more money to raise and produce than items that are not “all natural” or “organic”. But don't give up, sometimes it's not about WHAT you buy but where, when you buy it and coupons to help you save! Use...

BlogHer 10 Recap – Day 2

by | | 0 Comments

If you missed it, be sure to read my BlogHer Day 1 Recap first! We were extremely busy on Thursday and Friday was no different!  But I was excited for what the day had in store for me.  I was so happy to be there. I want to mention again that I was fortunate enough to have two great sponsors for my trip.  Lane Bryant gave me a gift card to buy an outfit, which I turned into a few outfits with my thrifty shopping and Cook’s Ham sponsored my entire trip!  I’m very grateful to both of them! Day 2 – Friday August 6th I was happy to be able to sleep a little bit on Friday (unlike Saturday but you'll hear about that next time) and I was refreshed and ready to start the day.  Last year I was a...

PARENTS: Save Big with Cloth Diapers

by | | 0 Comments

Guest Post by Christina Robertson Parents, did you know that you will spend over $2000 on disposable diapers per baby? If that money was invested carefully for 18 years, it could pay for your child's college tuition. Cloth diapers have exploded on the baby scene in the past decade. Modern cloth diapers are not like the ones that your grandparents used. Once you get the knack of it, they are as easy to use as regular disposable diapers. A cloth diapering system requires an initial start up cost, which can be as low as $200, which is less than 10% of what you would spend on disposable diapers. The diapers can even be used as rags after your baby is potty trained. For parents that are halted...
