Head to your local library, fabric or craft store, or bookstore and look for a how-to book on sewing. A handy reference should have many clear pictures and easy-to-follow instructions in order to be of use to you. If you’re on a limited budget and a new sewing machine is out of the question, look for a used one.

Family Balance Sheet

Doesn’t a break from your daily schedule to get away and spend quality time with your family sound amazing? Every summer we take a week to focus on our girls, fitness, good food and spending time with our extended family that we vacation with. A friend makes extra money teaching piano.

Family Balance Sheet

Our emergency fund has saved us countless times and it will save us once again with the truck. And while I don’t like parting with our money, I am grateful that this repair won’t send us into financial distress. We use an online account like, Capital One 360 (my referral link). It is NOT a spending account.
