Money Matters by Erica Ehm
|
|
|
 My husband and I have separate bank accounts. Hey, I just heard you gasp!
For some reason, we find it shocking when personal financial facts are aired in public. But if you're not allowed to talk about it openly, how are you going to get better at managing it?
And when it comes to a mummy and her money, the waters get muddy - you stay home, he makes the money, you have to ask him for money. He stays home, you make the money, he feels awkward asking for it. You both work, you both make money, but you have no time to spend the money 'cuz you're too busy making it. Or, worst case scenario - you're not working, he's not working and there is no money.
It's been a tough year for everyone and their money. So we've put together a bunch of inexpensive, yet valuable articles on money matters to make mummy manage more money.
Try saying that five times.

Here are three tips to help you cut your costs with a little conscience...

Baby Carriage? by Dave Minor
|
|
|
As a parent, you want what's best for your children so you probably focus on their current needs and protecting them from immediate dangers. You have the car seats tested, baby gates installed, buy consumer tested toys and baby-proof the house. But what about protecting your baby's future? What if something happens to you?

 Golden Globes Fashion Hits and Misses
After a late night up my favorite celebs, the 2010 Golden
Globe Awards came and went without a ton of surprises. On the style front,
spring trends were revealed with both color and design. Purple was worn
over and over by such stars as Fergie, Leona Lewis, and Rose Byrne and gave us
a hint of its emergence for the coming season.
While most stars looked great (who wouldn't with a stylist
and six hours of prepping), more than a few got it all wrong! Here is my
list of fashion hits and misses...

 Baby Making NutrientsOur Yummy Mummy Wannabe Leslie asked: I'd like to hear from Mummy Eats if there are any foods that Yummy Mummy Wannabes should be eating to help with fertility issues?Theresa answered:
