If you need to borrow money for the first time, you are going to need to do some research and really get to grips with the different ways to borrow. You also need to know about interest rates, credit scores and making applications, as well as how to get the very best deals from banks,…
Because younger kids and teenagers don’t pay bills, they understandably can’t comprehend the value of a dollar. Cut to: them constantly asking their parents for money. Maybe this scenario sounds uncomfortably familiar and you give your kids money each time they ask. Unfortunately, this behavior doesn’t teach healthy money skills and that’s why parents ask…
Spring has broken, and we’re already off to a great start in the Johnston household. The boys are having a battle of the numbers, this morning, for some reason. Hawk: Count to 100 by 10’s. Brax: Count to 400 by 2’s. Hawk: Count to 400 by 6’s. (o.O) Hawk: I did it 155 times. Brax:…
This morning, when I got up to get ready for church, I was torn on what to wear. I’m not really that big on fashion, or what time of year you wear what colors, but this morning, I struggled! Today, the time changed. We had to spring forward, so the whole “Spring” thing was going…

Couch to 5k Day 3 was almost non-existent! On Saturday morning at 5:15am, which would have been Day 3, I got a call from a mama who was in labor. She rocked that labor, though, and had her baby, natural, by 8:07, and after I left the hospital, I went to see my bestie and…
