Cooking in Bulk to Cut Cost

As promised here is the post from Guest Blogger Margo Posnanski. She shares great tips for saving money by cooking in bulk. We joined the Twittermoms blog swap and came up with these posts. Enjoy!



It's getting cold here in Kansas City and the last thing I want is to have to trudge to the grocery store. I should plan meals in advance, but somehow just getting needed ingredients on a LIST is the extent to my preparation. So to address the meal prep strategy that saves not only money BUT TIME AS WELL, I called my younger sister. She used to work as a County Cooperative Extension Agent in Colorado a number of years ago. (Check with your state's and county's extension services because they have great tips for saving $$$.)

My sister, Becky, was more than happy to help explain her tips for cooking one full afternoon

Single Mom Breastfeeding: Save Money and Bond with Baby

*This post is mainly for single moms who are currently pregnant, but you can read it too.

New single moms face many fears about their ability to be a good parent without a husband. When I was pregnant with my daughter I was scared and unsure about how to take care of this new life. I read a lot of books and prepared my mind for the task. I knew that I wanted to nurture my child and have a close bond with her because I didn't have that with my mother.

In my reading about breastfeeding I learned that it is a great way to bond with my baby and give her the best start in life. So I made the decision and gathered books from the library about breastfeeding. I won't go into the details about how I did it but you can read about it over at Sexy Nursing Bras after reading this post ;-).
