Happy Mother's Day to Everyone!

What a precious day to stop and say Happy Mother's Day! To all of the moms, stepmothers, guardians and to anyone who nurtures and loves children like a mother thank you! I am a mother and a stepmother with children with ages ranging from 32 to 8. I can honestly tell you that I have experienced every stage of raising a child. As a mother I have certainly grown in so many ways actually that is what children do for us they make us grow they challenge us and most of all they provide a source of pride and joy that nothing can compare to. My mother passed away 2 years ago and I miss her laughter most of all if you have your mom in your life hug her today and tell her how much you love her. My favorite thing to get for mother’s day is a homemade card and I have to share with you the one I got from my youngest child Cooper he is 8 and yes that is his amazing penmanship!! I don't know why he addressed it to Jayne instead of mom he calls me mom but it's so cute. Enjoy and Happy Mother's Day

Why making our kids money smart is critical!

56% of Americans have NO Savings and 38 Million People have NO retirement savings and the next generation their children are not being raised to save. We have to break this cycle and MAKE financial education a top priority for our children. Just as we believe Education is the right of every child so do I believe Financial Education should be. NO matter if a child lives in poverty or wealth financial education should not be with held! What good is an education that leads to a job if we do not have good money skills and end up harming ourselves financially. Parents be a Champion for your child by teaching them good money skills. If you need help contact me my Big Yellow Umbrella is big enough for everyone!
