Motherly Wisdom #16: Put the Bills on the Table

 Put the bills on the table,  OPEN, and see what they say. If they say NOTHING pack their bags and see what they say

Put those bills out there for your kids to see,  and say READ THIS, who is handling this? Are you paying for this? Are you helping pay any of this? 

Then SHUT UP! 

Yes, I said it. You don't have time to explain to CHILDREN, how things are being paid, OR NOT, unless they are doing something to help get it paid. 

Children must stay in a child's place. Let me share this to help some of you:

Even if my bills are late, if the lights are on, the heat is on, the roof is still over our heads, WE'RE MAKING IT, by what MAMA has put together or figured out! 

Children get of age and think they can say whatever, but HONEY, they better be ready to move if they don't have any cash to help MAKE IT WORK!! 

So, parents, put the bills on the table.

Motherly wisdom #7: Mama Doesn't Know Everything

Mama doesn't know everything; she just knows how to handle it. Prayer + Praise= positive probabilities. 

Every mother has her ups and downs, but in those ups and downs she finds a way to make it work. In the 11 1/2 months that I have been out of the 9-5, I have had to come up with some sure fire ways to make ends  meet. Even as a small business owner, you find that people don't have a strategic plan on PAYING YOU ON TIME. 

Every day is a learning experience. So, Moms don't try to burden you with what they know only their experiences that they have had. You don't have to apply it to your life, but at least put it in the back of your head. 

We know how to pray for guidance and praise until it comes! As a parent, I take every opportunity to pray. 

Some of the things Mom's know how to handle: 


  • paying bills (late or otherwise)
  • daycare
  • school information
  • doctors
  • organization
  • substitution (of anything)

Learn from it!

Binders Baby!!!

Oh yeah its time to get organized! School is about to start and we need to get a handle on everythying.

While buying pens, pencils, paper and more, we have to keep a handle of what has been purchased. How is that?
Get a binder and get organized!

Family Binder:
all of the kids (adults too, you never know)
     their school fees
     schedules
     copy of important papers (could be in a safe deposit box)
     reciepts
     contact numbers
     cell bills etc,
each parent
     bills outside of household bills (cell, personal credit card, school loans etc)
     spreadsheet of tracking payments
     receipts, etc

Household Bills Binder:(keep reciepts and copies of bills)

Water
Telephone
Cable/Dish
Internet
Misc Fees(condo)

The best way to get started is to get started. There is nothing you can't handle when organized.
