when mom speaks

Bringing a newborn into the world is a major event that is both exciting and scary. Being a new experience, there is a lot to learn to make it go as smoothly as possible. Along the way, finances will suddenly play a larger part in a new mom’s decision making than ever before. What was once a payday advance online will quickly be eaten up by new bills and expenses. To keep your finances from getting too far off track, follow these four financial tips for new moms.

• Create a baby budget. Naturally, you can’t account for every unexpected doctor visit beforehand. But you can set limits on how much to spend monthly on new outfits, toys, books, strollers, car seats, and baby food. Make a monthly baby expense budget and stick to it, modifying as necessary when your child grows in size and needs.                     

Kids grow up incredibly fast. There’s little need to stockpile shelf upon shelf of baby food just to prevent being down to the last jar. By not overspending in any particular month, your finances won’t feel as strained as those who create no budget at all.   

• Itemize the baby items you’ve got. Remember that lovely baby shower your friends threw for you? Don’t let their efforts turn into wasted time and expense. The years surrounding your baby’s birth are blurry with motion. It can be hard to remember what you do and don’t own, and what your baby does, or doesn’t, now have. Instead of falling into a common pattern of impulse buying for your baby based on what you see, make a list of what your baby already has. Forgot that he or she already owns a rattle and are just about to purchase another one? Quickly scroll down your list for a refresher. Doing so will save you the price of a repeat purchase.
• Don’t forget yourself because you’ve had a baby. You should not stop contributing to your previously established 401k’s, IRA’s, and other retirement accounts simply because you’ve given birth. Taking care of your retirement is still just as important as it was before. Keep contributing, even if you have to slightly reduce the amount.
• Set up a separate account from your others, with its own debit card. Get a payday advance online loan if need be, otherwise, use this account for baby purchases. By funding it monthly, you’ll be more able to see at a glance if you’re staying on budget. Also, unlike a credit card, a debit card will only allow you to make purchases with funds that you have. When your child is old enough, you can hand the account over to them to manage their own funds.

Having a baby is a special time, but it need not throw your organized financial life into a tailspin. Think through and act on these steps. They’ll help keep your monetary life on track!

Found this photo of my dear daughter playing her toy piano two Christmases ago, and I can’t help but feel so sentimental upon seeing how small she was during this time. Now, that piano of hers looks unbelievably small for her! And it wouldn’t surprise us if she soon requests for a real yamaha keyboard to play with! But if that happens, and if our funds permits… we will, without a doubt get her one and enroll her to a nearby music school to enhance her wit and knowledge with music and sounds

We were supposed to go to Binondo yesterday with our friends to witness one of the most colorful and festive event of the metro which is the Chinese New Year celebration. Unfortunately, a friend texted us and told us how terrible the traffic was nearby the place that we are about to go to. Though there are so many volunteers like roadside assistance club and the others, still, they can’t seem to manipulate the over crowded vehicles that are trying to join the Chinese New Year happenings. So there, we had no choice but not to leave and just catch what’s happening over the news.

Aside from people rushing back and forth to the malls and bazaars everywhere, many are also heading to Christmas parties and holiday gatherings that practically made the roads jam packed!

Was at the mall  yesterday and I had a grand time checking out and buying Christmas gifts on my list, luckily there were only few people at the toy section, thus I was able to fiddle and check out almost everything breezily! And as expected, I found great stuff to consider for my little girl who is now into arts and crafts. Found great selection of Beads and other diy accessorize that will definitely make my daughter giddy and excited!

The husband is not the type who requests for gifts during special occasions, in fact, he often tells us not to bother on giving him gifts. Not that he doesn’t believe in the deeper meaning of giving but he’s just plain shy when it’s his turn to accept whatever token that is given to him. Kinda weird right?!  But that’s one of the many things I learned to understand. That is why, whenever Christmas or his birthday is coming, I try not to ask him of things he like but rather just look for signs or whatever he’s into and see whatever great stuff he might need or something. And for this year, I am looking at this camelbak water bag that he can use and wear for his hunting escapades!
