Hello friends!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
This week I have categorized the tips I found for you so you can easily skip anything that might not apply to you.
They are broken down into 3 categories: Finances, Home Life and Parenting/Pregnancy with 3 tips each.
Enjoy!
FINANCES
Financial Tip #1
Creating a budget can be difficult enough, but being able to stick to it is often the hardest part. If you have a difficult time sticking to your budget, here are 5 tips to help you stay on track.
Financial Tip #2
When tracking your finances, add your automatic payments to your check register well before they are scheduled to go out. That way it will look like the money is already spent and you won’t accidentally spend it ahead of time.
Financial Tip #3
Stacey of The Soccer Mom Blog suggests that one of the best ways to stop worrying about money is to let other people help you achieve your financial goals. She also includes tips on preparing to meet with your banker and other ways to stop worrying about money.

Home Life Tip #2
When trying to have less clutter, it is often the sentimental items that are the most difficult to get rid of. Pink Fortitude suggests questions to ask yourself before parting with a sentimental item:
1. How often do I use or enjoy this item? Will I really need it in the future?
2. How much is the cost replacement?
3. What is the value/sentiment of the item?
