You Need a Budget: An Honest Talk About Finances

· by · 1 Comment

Today I want to just have a chat with you about money. Friend to friend. I want to tell you a little bit about how Tim and I have approached finances for the past 8 years, why our approach needed to change, and how we finally got ourselves on a path that we know is going to be a game-changer for us. If you have a few minutes, please check out my YouTube video below:

We really needed a budget. Now we have one, but it is so much more. It’s a plan. It’s exciting, it’s achievable, it’s liberating.

You need a budget, too. Hopefully you already have one, but the vast majority of households don’t. If you are one of those households, I want to tell you that YNAB is an amazing solution that our family is finding to be very helpful. If I didn’t feel so strongly about the benefits of using this software, I wouldn’t be having this conversation with you. Promise.

Check it out. They offer the full version free for 7 days if you want to take it for a spin before making a financial commitment to it. And they also offer an incredible number of resources to you (whether you purchase or not) because they truly want you to find the financial freedom you seek; it’s not just about selling you a product. It’s about helping you change your life for the better.

We waited 8 1/2 years to do this. I’m glad we didn’t wait one second longer. I’ll be posting again in March with an update on how things are going with YNAB. Stay tuned!

Drink Your Vitamins: Ola Loa Vitamins

· by · 21 Comments

Do you ever wonder if product reviewers are just lying through their teeth most of the time when they sing the praises of a product? I can’t speak for other review bloggers, but I can tell you that if I don’t like something, I won’t ever lie and tell you that I do. Typically, if a product disappoints me, I contact the person I’m working with on the review and share my concerns. I prefer to give my feedback to the company directly so that they can seek to make the needed improvements.

Today I’m bringing you a product that I originally thought I didn’t like. It was through my conversations with the PR rep for the company, though, that I was able to try the product in a different way, and in the end, I really and truly liked it, after all. I wouldn’t be telling you about it if I didn’t!

ola loa vitamins It’s called Ola Loa, and it is a powder that you can add to water to give you a big ‘ole dose of nutrients that will absorb into your system better than any pill or tablet. The supplements are basically a way to drink your vitamins. I loved the concept, because I’m always sipping on a drink, but I’m terrible at remembering to take my multi-vitamin.

So what went wrong, at first? Well, I found the drink mixes to be just really intense, and not super sweet and awesome. What can I say? They didn’t taste like iced coffee or a super cold coke (the two things I’m normally drinking) and so, my taste buds just weren’t having it. After I talked with my contact, she said that she had a similar problem the first time she tried it. If your body is used to sugary drinks (and mine is…I like a little coffee with my sugar and cream), then the mixes might taste funny/weird. But there is a solution! She suggested that I mix the powder with half water and half orange juice to sweeten it up a bit.

I tried it. I liked it. A lot, actually! And I’m pleased to report that after downing my second drink (rather quickly, I might add), I did feel a bit of an energy boost for the next few hours.

In doing some research about Ola Loa’s supplements, I learned that the Physician’s Desk Reference (PDR) says you only absorb 10-20% of the nutrient content of a pill or tablet. I guess I shouldn’t feel as bad about not taking my multi-vitamins…doesn’t sound like they were giving me much, anyway. Ola Loa has an advantage from the start: the contents are already dissolved! Roughly 98% of the nutrients in a supplement like Ola Loa get absorbed by the body. That’s much better!

Buy it!: Do you need to add something to your diet that really and truly will help you get your daily needed vitamins? Ola Loa has what you are looking for. Just add a little orange juice to it! 🙂 In my experience the two places to buy the vitamins (for the best price) are Amazon and Drugstore.com. Prices fluctuate, but these two stores seem to be competitive with each other, and depending on which flavor/type you want to try, one of them will have a slightly better price than the other.

 

Edit: giveaway is closed! 

Win it! Ola Loa is giving one lucky Stuff Parents Need reader a 5 pack of their supplements! The contest will run until January 31st at 11:59pm EST when a winner will be selected using Random.org. Winner will have 48 hours to respond to notification before the prize is forfeited and a new winner is selected. Open to residents of the United States. Limit one entrant per household, please.

Mandatory entry: Tell me what you do currently to try to get all the daily vitamins you need.

My answer: not much, unfortunately. I eat things that are green whenever I can, but I have a long way to go on this on.

Kaspersky PURE Review

· by · Leave a Comment

How much time do you spend thinking about protecting your computer(s) from all those crazy viruses that run rampant on the internet? If you are like me, probably not much…until you get one. And then you curse yourself for not investing in some quality internet security software.

Kaspersky is a company that offers the absolute top of the line when it comes to protecting your computers. They have some new software out called Kaspersky PURE, and it is seriously awesome. I’ve never seen such a comprehensive approach to protection packaged in such a user-friendly format. It works just as well for those who want to set it and forget as it does for those who want to “geek out” and customize every feature.

My own favorite geek, Tim, has put together a video review to give you a good idea of what Kaspersky PURE has to offer.

To summarize, Kaspersky PURE has these awesome features:

·Run scans on any PC in your household to make sure they’re secure

·Automatic file backup and restore functions

·An integrated Password Manager to protect your identity

·Data Encryption and File Shredder to make sure your private information stays private

·Perform file backups remotely, to protect your data no matter what machine it sits on

·Fix security issues before they become problems

·Administer parental controls so kids are never outside of your protection, even when they’re out of view

·Control over when and for how long your children can be online, or on the computer at all

·Limit access to the Internet, web content, applications, games, or social networks

·The ability to keep important information from being shared

·A communication-safety hub

Kaspersky PURE will be available for purchase beginning January 24th, but right now you can

Win it!: One lucky Stuff Parents Need reader will snag a copy of Kaspersky PURE, which comes with a 1-year license that can be installed on up to 3 computers. It retails for $89.95. Woo hoo! The contest will run until January 30th at 11:59pm EST when a winner will be selected using Random.org. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to the winning notification before the prize is forfeited and a new winner is selected. Open to residents of the United States. Limit one entrant per household, please.

Mandatory entry: Two things: 1. You must follow me in Google Friend Connect (see the sidebar to get signed up…super easy, I promise) and 2. Tell me about a time when you weren’t prepared and your computer suffered the consequences. (these together count as one entry)

My answer: We had a laptop that got so loaded down with little bugs and viruses. I don’t think any one of them were deadly in and of themselves, but the sheer volume of them caused that computer to slow down to a depressing crawl. It was ugly, folks.

Handstamped Jewelry You Will Adore (GIVEAWAY!!!)

· by · 53 Comments

Last May I featured some of the best of the best when it comes to Memphis artists. It was such a fun experience. My old hometown really has a lot of talent! One such designer is Christine, owner of Mozella Designs. Last year I featured her lovely earrings, which I still wear on a very regular basis, because they are really fetching, and also because I always get compliments on them!

I think Mozella Designs is an amazing Etsy shop. Christine seems to stay on top of fashion trends with her jewelry, while also incorporating a certain sense of femininity to every piece that gives them staying power beyond the trends, themselves. She has such a good eye for balancing style with function. Every time I browse her shop I am struck by her beautiful jewelry.

And I’m always especially pleased with her prices. For handmade jewelry that is fashion-forward and that won’t be out of style next month (or even next year!), Mozella Designs just can’t be beat!

Christine has added handstamped jewelry to her collection, and you are going to love what she is currently showcasing in that line! She sent me a beautiful bracelet that is absolutely perfect for wearing between now and late spring! I love the delicate pink beads and accent pearls. But the handstamped initials on the piece are my absolute favorite. I’ve got to tell you, I’m not all that big into having my initials scrawled all over everything I own (more power to you if that’s your thing). These initials are like a whisper, and I adore that. They are soft and sophisticated, just like the bracelet. They are just very…me!

For the gents, oh how I’m swooning over the personalized cuff links Christine has for sale. What a PERFECT Valentine’s Day gift for your man. They are so much cooler (in my opinion) AND so much less expensive than what you’ll find at a department store. They are also a perfect gift for groomsmen if anyone out there is getting married. They can be personalized however you like. I’d love to get a pair for Tim with our wedding date on them.

Buy it!: If you have been wanting some handstamped jewelry but haven’t been too keen on the price tags, drop a hint to your loved one to check out Mozella Designs. The work is top notch and the prices are quite competitive!

Win it!: One lucky winner is going to get $25 to spend at Mozella Designs. Oh how I envy you! The contest will run until January 28th at 11:59pm EST when a winner will be selected using Random.org. The winner will have 48 hours to respond before the prize is forfeited and a new winner is selected. Open to residents of the United States. Limit one entrant per household, please.

Mandatory entry: Show some love for Mozella Designs by liking it on Facebook and post on her wall that Stuff Parents Need sent you!

Additional entries:
1. Sponsor love: Subscribe to Christine’s blog, where you’ll see her complete a new piece of jewelry each and every week (so fun to watch…she’s so talented!).
2. Blogger love: Follow Stuff Parents Need using Google Friend Connect (if you don’t know how to do this, just email me and I’ll help you out!)

Outdoor Enclosures for Cats

· by · 123 Comments

Have I told you that we have a cat? Her name is Hattie. She’s an 8 year old long-hair calico, and she is a DIVA. She has picked up on the fact that I think I’m in charge around here, and this completely disgusts her. Who do I think I am?!

Hattie has been an indoor-only cat her ENTIRE life. And yet, she tries really hard to get us to let her outside. If we ever have company, she’ll go to the door and cry in the room they are in, hoping that they will take pity on her and let her out. She’s jumped out of a 2 story window before (well, we actually think she fell….story for another day…she landed on her feet, as they always do!). And since we moved to Chattanooga, she has escaped from the house when we left a door open for just 2 seconds too long on multiple occasions (like 5 or 6).
But here’s the thing, you guys. She’s curious, but very scared once she gets out there. She’s like a deer in the headlights, seriously! She’ll sniff around a bit, and then she’ll just sit down and cry until someone comes to get her.I’m super reluctant to turn her into an indoor/outdoor cat because she isn’t used to it, I fear for her safety, and Tennessee also has a HUGE feline AIDS problem. Our neighborhood has lots of stray cats, so it just isn’t a good environment in which to turn Hattie loose.
safe outdoor enclosures cats
Thanks to other bloggers I learned about a product that is just perfect for cats like Hattie. It is called the Kritter Kondo. It’s basically a cat enclosure, so that they can safely have some outdoor time. It’s the coolest thing! We put Hattie out in our backyard, and after her initial fear of being outside wore off, she was SOOOOO happy. She purred and purred, and walked around her “kondo” and just enjoyed the winter air. She’s got really long hair, and it finally got put to good use out in the cold for a few hours.

cat outdoor enclosures kits I know she enjoyed herself, because when we brought her back inside, she stared out the window and cried. So sad!

This is the perfect solution for apartment dwellers, especially if you have a balcony or porch. The kritter kondo does take up quite a bit of space, so if you are always out on your little balcony, yourself, you may find that it takes up too much space. The Kritter Kondo is designed with cats in mind, but it can also work for small dogs. When you aren’t using it, it folds up compactly and even has a carrying case in case you want to travel with it.

I think it rocks that Hattie can now go outside and enjoy herself a bit each day, and I have absolutely no worries about her getting lost, running into the street or fighting with other cats.

Buy it! The Kritter Kondo is available for $124.99 (this price includes free 2 day shipping). If you have a small pet who longs to be outside, this is the ultimate gift! You can also check prices on Wayfair, but when I last checked, the price was significantly lower on Amazon.

The TRUE Story of the 3 Little Pigs

· by · 82 Comments

A few weeks ago we were talking about the fabulous dvds that Scholastic has been putting out. In the comments, several of you said that you are also really interested in one of their new releases. The True Story of the Three Little Pigs…and Other Animal Adventures.

Good news! I’m about to tell you about it! true story of the three little pigs
Let’s start with the title story. It is narrated by Paul Giamati (lead actor from Sideways and other great movies). It is a HILARIOUS story, told from the perspective of the wolf. Basically, he says he was totally framed. It’s a riot.
But wait! There’s more! This dvd contains four other stories, one of which is narrated by Zach Braff (Scrubs, Garden State) and one which is narrated by….wait for it…..MANDY PATINKIN!!!! Where do I even begin with all the things this fabulous man has been in??? The obvious place, I suppose, is with his role in The Princess Bride. He was Inigo Montoya.
Scholastic knows that it is best for the parents to stay in the room with their children when watching any type of video. And they make that so easy to do when they use such wonderful narrators. Once again, well done, Scholastic! I love watching these stories just as much as Darah does!
Buy it!: The True Story of the Three Little Pigs…and Other Animal Adventures is available for just $14.95 (actually much less than that on Amazon right now!). I highly recommend it!
Edit: This giveaway is closed.

Oliver Twist Meets Chiquita Banana (Giveaway with 5 Winners!!!)

· by · 123 Comments

Lovely readers, I have such a funny story for you today. It is all about a mommy fail at daycare, and it happened to yours truly.

Darah comes home with notes at the end of the day every time she goes to her Parent’s Day Out program. They tell me about how her day went, and there’s room for the teacher to leave me any special notes. One day in November, I didn’t look over the note while we were still in the school because I was in a hurry. I pulled it out of her diaper bag when we got home, though, and read the following: “Darah often begs for other children’s bananas. If you like, you could send one with her from time to time. She seems to REALLY enjoy eating!”

Let’s break that down for a second.

First, “often begs” was said. Not, “sometimes asks for” or “seems to want.” OFTEN. BEGS. Can’t you just picture my little Oliver Twist with her hands outstretched and that pitiful look on her face??

Second, I love the super polite way that her teachers said, “Hey, lady. Give the child some dang bananas!” I swear I buy them for her. But I try to only go to the grocery store once every 2 weeks. This is a very effective way to save some money, but it is a very ineffective way to make sure our home is fully stocked with fresh fruits and veggies, especially bananas.

You better believe that child had a banana the next time she went to class. And she’s had one almost every time since then.

I was recently approached by Chiquita to see if I would like to become a Chiquita Mom, and help them spread the word about the tremendous value that bananas have in terms of vitamins, minerals and of course, great taste (unless you are my sister-in-law, who cannot stand even the smell of bananas…oh well, more for the rest of us!).

So I checked out their site, because I wanted to know more about what a Chiquita mom is, in their view. “She’s a mother who wants to spend as much time with her family as possible, so having a variety of healthy, easy meal and snack solutions makes her job easier. She is busy and needs a healthy energy boost throughout the day because coffee and energy drinks just won’t do.” Check and check! Let’s rock and roll, Chiquita!

I wanted to tell you a bit more about why bananas are awesome, just in case they aren’t a fruit you are normally buying for your children and yourself. First, bananas are full of three kinds of natural sugar: glucose, fructose and sucrose as well as a significant amount of fiber, making them an ideal source of energy to give you that wake-up call in the morning and pick me up int he afternoon. I remember my doctor telling me that bananas were the absolute perfect food to eat when you hit that 2-3pm slump at work. I switched out my Dr. Pepper for a banana and found that I got better results! 🙂

Second, bananas have more digestible complex carbohydrates than any other fruit, which are essential for energy because your body burns carbohydrate energy more easily than from protein or fat calories. If your kid is like mine, and bounces off the walls (have I mentioned that Darah has turned up her energy level 1,000% in the past week???) then you need to give him or her a banana!

Finally, why Chiquita bananas? Well, Chiquita bananas are of the top quality sold. So you can shop with confidence, first and foremost. Second, Chiquita is a company that really values educating and supporting moms and dads out there who are trying to do the best for their kids, including giving them food that is healthy and tasty. I love when a company is actively trying to bring awareness to its customers! Yay, Chiquita!

Win it!: 5lucky Stuff Parents Need readers are going to get a fabulous Chiquita Mom kit that contains the following:

  • Chiquita Mom’s Flip Book(contains really helpful info!)
  • Chiquita Banana Recipe Cards
  • Chiquita Moms Grocery Tote Bag
  • Chiquita Moms Freezer Bags

Tropical Traditions Rocks: From Skeptic to Big Fan

· by · 1 Comment

If you’ve been reading blogs at all in the last year, you’ve likely seen at least one or two posts about the company Tropical Traditions. I’ve read several posts, and was initially completely skeptical of a company that could offer such a vast range of products.

But I kept reading reviews from bloggers whose opinions I trust. And my skepticism shifted to genuine curiosity. The products this company makes seem to get high praise again and again. I really wanted to see for myself if I agreed.

So now it is my turn to talk about Tropical Traditions. And after trying out one of their products for about a month, I can tell you that this skeptic is now a big fan.

 

I have personally never used coconut oil in my own kitchen. We are big fans of extra virgin olive oil, and use that for as much of our cooking, as possible. So when the Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil arrived, my first question was what in the heck to do with it! Fortunately, Tropical Traditions anticipated this question and provided an answer. From their site, “There are many ways to use coconut oil and incorporate it into one’s diet. Since it is a stable cooking oil, one can simply replace unhealthy oils in their diet with coconut oil. Since it is a solid most of the time at room temperature or when refrigerated, it can be a butter or margarine substitute for spreads or for baking. Any recipe calling for butter, margarine, or any other oil can be substituted for coconut oil. It is popularly mixed in with “smoothies.” There are also hundreds of FREE recipes here that have been submitted by our customers over the years.”

We had a shrimp dish on our menu the week the product arrived, and I thought I’d try out the coconut oil with that dish. I thought perhaps it would give it a tropical flair like what I would taste at a place like Bahama Breeze (oh how I miss that restaurant since we moved!). OH. MY. WORD. You guys…it was DELICIOUS! The coconut flavor was present in the dish, but it really just complimented the food and didn’t overpower it at all.

The next day, I decided to use the spread as an alternative to butter on my toast. Also delicious! We then tried it with our popcorn that night (we hand crank our popcorn and use a mixture of butter and olive oil. The coconut oil replaced the butter. Tim wasn’t crazy about the overall taste, though he said he liked it just fine. I thought it was great, and took the popcorn in a slightly sweet direction. I think he prefers his popcorn to be more savory, whereas I’m always going to like something if it is sweet! So we were a house divided on that one.

Since I liked the coconut oil so much, I decided to do a bit of research on it. My mom had the impression that coconut oil would contribute to high cholesterol, so I did have a few concerns. The impression that I get is that it is that coconut oil is high in saturated fat, so I wouldn’t want to use it instead of something like extra virgin olive oil. However, if I’m using it to replace a different oil that is high in saturated fat (like butter), that’s the way to go. Tropical Traditions has a great link to some research if you want to read up on why replacing butter with coconut oil might make sense. After we did our homework, we have personally decided to replace butter with coconut oil in several of our dishes. And I’m now using it instead of butter on my toast and bagels.

Buy it! If you’ve never bought coconut oil before, the price tag might alarm you. It isn’t cheap. But the prices Tropical Traditions offers are competitive, and the quality of their oil is one of the very best; just ask all their loyal customers who rave about it! Plus, if you get on their email list, you’ll see that they regularly offer discounts on their oil (and other products). I’ve seen it for as much as half off! The Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil, which is the best of the best, retails for $37.50 for a quart. They offer a variety of sizes, though.

Edit: this giveaway is now closed. 

Win it!: Joy of joys, here’s your chance to get your own jar of Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil from Tropical Traditions! The contest will run until January 22nd at 11:59pm EST when a winner will be selected using Random.org. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to the winning notification before the prize is forfeited and a new winner is selected. Open to residents of the United States. Limit one entrant per household, please.

Mandatory entry: Tell me another product Tropical Traditions offers that you’ve either tried or want to try.

My answer: I want to try their carpet cleaner. Darah is into blueberries right now, and you can imagine how our rugs feel about that!
