My husband and I work on our finances together in our household, and I’m fully aware of what is going on with our savings efforts.  My husband and I work on things together and make decisions together.  One thing we are always talking about is saving for retirement, IRAs, 401ks, and not expecting Social Security […]

Cute Wreath For The Front Door

Cheesecake Swirl Cupcakes!

It only takes a small amount of extra effort to make a cute and visibly delicious dessert!  Today, I made these beauties for husband with the help of my 3 year old. I don’t think anything drives me more crazy than plain brownies cut and put onto a plate.  Seriously, the five minutes of effort […]

At Ella’s 3 year check-up, the doctor said it was time for the dentist!  I had no idea what to expect.  We immediately let her watch some positive YouTube videos of the dentist.  But, I think the best thing that we did was allow her to go to the dentist with me for a check-up. […]

10 Ways To Give Your Child an Academic Advantage

My husband works in online marketing and, as part of that, creates some pretty interesting infographics from time-to-time.  Generally, they aren’t the type of thing that fit in well with the posts we have on Enchanted Mommy, but this one is the exception. It is titled “10 Ways To Give Your Child an Academic Advantage”, […]

Washing A Car = A Fun Hot Day Activity

It seems like three little kiddies hop around between houses on my street.  One of them happens to be my three year old that two sweet five year olds include {insert my heart melting here}.  There is only so much “basement” fun you can have.  Well, one fun activity the neighbor had for them was […]
