💰ad- Where did you keep your money as a kid???

💰ad- Where did you keep your money as a kid???🐖 It was a cute piggy bank for me. But let’s be honest....the world is a different place and I really want Lydia to be prepared to navigate a world that includes cards, chips, and online payments (she also asked me what the world was like before the internet the other day so.....nothing like that reminder that things are forever evolving).💵Today’s kids need lessons in financial literacy and money habits in a kid-friendly way. After a little research, we got Lydia a GoHenry debit card and financial learning app. And this? This was where she tried it for the first time (one of my favorite holiday spots in my hometown).💕I’m going to share more in stories, but this has been such a great experience so far. I load money into my “parent wallet” in my GoHenry app. I can transfer money to Lydia, give her a weekly allowance, set up chores, set spending limits, and more. She can spend whatever money is in her account that's within the daily spending limit. She can set savings goals, and also earn XP points and bonuses by doing Money Missions (lessons about money) in the GoHenry app.💵I love that she's learning how to budget. Trust, she wanted more than one item at the holiday shop and it was HARD to choose what she could afford. But she did it and loved being able to pay herself.💕I can’t say enough about how much we love GoHenry so far, and think it’s perfect for ages 6 and up. In fact, if you’d like to get the ball rolling, you can use code CARLY to get $10 & one month free (normal fees are $4.99 a month or $9.98 for up to 4 kids).💰So, I need to know. What did you use? Piggy bank? Wallet? Glass jar??? #gohenry partner @gohenry

The only question is, what to do FIRST? ❄️Tag the Laverne to your Shirley and start planning your day in the comments, what’s the first thing on your agenda for the Holidays?And if you saw our Halloween Time version….watch to the end…..this version has a special appearance by….. @lovestalgia.

Are you a saver or a spender?⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ Not gon

Are you a saver or a spender?⠀⠀⠀⠀Not gonna lie…..I’m the spender in this family. I feel like I’ve gotten better over the years (cue the old memories of my MASSIVE MAC makeup collection and my Bebe outfits, ha!)……but saving money has not come naturally to me. Financial literacy is definitely a learned skill, and one I’ve had to work on. A LOT.⠀⠀⠀❤️Over on stories, we are talking all things money and touchy topics that may come up. Want to join? Head on over. We’re making this a regular coffee chat each Tuesday.⠀⠀🚨So, five of you will get a coffee on me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Want to join in?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀1) like this post⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀2) answer the polls in stories⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀3) tag a friend, or tell me who YOU are: saver or spender?⠀⠀

❄️Ok, LOOK AT THE SNOW!!!! Let’s be honest,

❄️Ok, LOOK AT THE SNOW!!!!Let’s be honest, So Cal kids don’t exactly see it often……and I thought Lydia was going to lose it. She was so excited!Longer Explanation:We visited Knott’s Berry Farm over the weekend for Knott’s Merry Farm: their winter holiday extravaganza and it was so much fun.Our favorites:1) All things Merry Snoopy: the Camp Snoopy area is perfect for younger kids. You can do a meet and greet with all the Peanuts pals, see the Best Wishes show featuring them and enjoy adorable snoopy decorations all around the area. You can also see Snoopy ON SKATES in the Snoopy’s Night Before Christmas ice show (highly recommend, this was amazing).2) Santa and Mrs Claus: Santa is here, and he’s a GEM! He’s available all day in Santa’s Christmas Cabin, and totally worth a visit (plus they’ve got some KILLER treats in there). And bonus activity? Visit Mrs. Klaus’ kitchen across the way to decorate cupcakes. You get two cupcakes, and all the supplies to decorate for $5.99. 3) Let it Snow in Calico: check the app. It snows multiple times each evening and it is…pure magic.@knottsberryfarm #knottsmerryfarm

📚Well? Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Kids? Or physic

📚Well? Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Kids? Or physical book? #ad⠀⠀📖Do you have a middle grade reader in your house? This age is particularly challenging when it comes to books. They want big kid books and we want them to be age appropriate. They also can be larger and harder to carry around or travel with. Small problem but something that can be solved!⠀⠀ 📚We love this new Kindle Paperwhite Kids because it has KILLER battery life, is a great deal, and comes with a year of Amazon Kids+ already! This holiday season, it’s especially great value for money…it’s not just a regular Kindle Paperwhite, this deal also comes with a cover, that 1-year subscription to Amazon Kids+, and a 2-year worry free guarantee. The Kindle Paperwhite Kids is $104.99 ($55 off) right now from 11/17-28.⠀⠀📖Lydia’s favorite books for Holiday Season are all included with the Amazon Kids+ membership:⠀⠀1️⃣ The Mutts Winter Diaries⠀⠀2️⃣ Don’t Call Me Christina Kringle⠀⠀3️⃣ The Best Christmas Pageant Ever⠀⠀❄️Now, what is YOUR favorite winter holiday book? For big or little kids? #AmazonKidsPlus
