Moneyology

Moneyology a website and book series created by Alan Wolan is such a cool concept! 


This is the description of the book from the website : 


"Moneyology 1 teaches your child the basics of money: what it is, why we use it and the different forms money can take. Your child will be introduced to bills, coins, credit cards and checks. They will learn how to combine different bills and coins to buy things. They will learn how to make change and different ways to buy things."


I want to purchase this book for Julia because I am not good with money management and I want her to learn from a young age so she doesn't make the same mistakes I made! It's so important for our kids to learn about money and how to manage it, and with everything happening on Wall St. and with our economy what better time than now to pick up a copy of this book and get Julia and the boys started on their financial education.


Check out this funny trick the author shows in this video... I'm going to try this out on the kids!

My Little Food Critic

Last night I made some chicken breast with Italian seasonings and pasta with some sauce. I was very proud of myself for breaking out of a rut and changing up the menu. So I tried to give Jr. some chicken. He put it in his mouth, looked at me, and spit it out! I asked him if he doesn't like Mommy's cooking and guess what my little food critic said to me!!! He looked straight in my eyes and said "Ill...........NASTY!" I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time! What made me happy is that he doesn't talk much so him verbalizing was great, even if it was a put down of my culinary skills.

Of course Hubby laughed and agreed with him! It's not easy to get my family to new things for dinner. Julia wasn't a fan of the chicken either. I enjoyed it  but I love Italian food!  Now I  have a whole bunch of chicken and pasta that no one ate! I guess that will be my lunch for a couple of days! I need to come up with options that they will eat because I am tired of making rice, beans and pork chops!
