Our Children are our Future with TMobile Changemaker Challenge

This post is sponsored by T-Mobile.

As the iconic Whitney Houston song goes “I believe the children are our future,

teach them well and let them lead the way.”  I fully believe that we need to nurture our children as they are the next generation to lead our world. It’s so fantastic when companies host programs that bring out the best in today’s youth. I’m excited so T-Mobile and Ashoka are co-leading the fourth Changemaker Challenge! Read below to learn about this year's challenge and how your child could be the winner of $15,000 to fund their vision.

Having something for our kiddos that is screen free AND they love, well that’s just ideal, isn’t it? Whenever I’m babysitting my grandson and don’t want the TV on I turn on the podcast Adventures of Cairo and Enzo is thrilled.

 

Give the Gift of Financial Security this Christmas!

These three babies are going places with Florida Prepaid College.

Time to give gifts and to share our love with one another. There is, no better way in my opinion, than to share the gift of education with the little ones in your life. I have shared before, and I will share again why I am passionate about Florida Prepaid College...its those three in the photo above. Those kids, my babies...they are going places, and with Florida prepaid we can afford the places they go a little easier. I can only imagine how hard it would be to have multiple children in college at once, so we are trying to offset that battle and have at least some of it paid by the time my children make the big step and start to attend college. My oldest will be starting college in just seven short years, so we do not have that long to go! We can only afford to purchase one year of university each, at a time, so right now my oldest will have one year paid for, the middle child will have three years paid for, and the princess should have her complete bachelors degree paid in full if we keep on this track! 

 My children receive so much at the holidays that they know if they receive a check, it automatically goes to their savings account. Sometimes they like to argue with us about it, but they know the rules. We educate them that one day they will be incredibly thankful for this gift. However, I was recently made away of an even greater idea! The Florida Prepaid plan! Family members can now buy an entire year of college, or even just 30 credit hours at a time if that suits their budget better! Wouldn't it be an amazing thing if family members went in together (or if your family is a little better off than ours bought the entire thing themselves) and bought your child a year of college to be used at a later date at one of Florida's amazing universities? I honestly cannot think of a greater gift to give a child, OR A PARENT, than a college education, PAID FOR!  I seriously love this idea, and wish that all of those checks we received for our kids have went to Florida Prepaid College. Even though we have the money saved, I feel like our money would have went further because you are locked in at today's rate, and we all know that college prices are going up every single year, and that makes college a major financial burden for many parents and for many college aged adults. I would love if my children can make it through college without accruing massive loans that will haunt them well into working adult-hood! Florida prepaid is making this possible for many families, including ours. 

3 Tips for Keeping Your Home Safe This Summer

Picture this:  It's the end of July—smack in the middle of summer.  Your kids are at home with a caretaker while you toil away at your 9 to 5.  Then, disaster strikes.  There's an emergency at home, and your kids have to call 911 for help.

Vtech Safe & Sound Digital Audio Monitor

There are few things more important to a mom than knowing that her babies are safe. These small little bundles of joy are so sweet and cuddly and sometimes drive you crazy, but you love them so much. And it is hard not be with them even during nap time! 

Baby monitors have given me a run for my money in the past. They don't work. Or they don't last. Or they make weird screeching noises. Or my favorite...Pick up the neighbors down the street. (That is so weird!) I was thrilled to be able to try the Vtech Safe & Sound Digital Audio Monitor.
