Hooray for Change and a New Routine

It all still seems unreal as I am typing this out and it was a very hard decision for me to make but after 14 years working as a nurse and practice manager, I am finally closing that chapter at least for now and focusing on my family full time and growing my blog.

Setting up Text/Email notifications So You Get Alerts When Your Child Spends


Sometimes I have a love hate relationship with technology. When it works well, it’s amazing. But when it doesn’t want to work, I basically want to throw my laptop out the window. Anyone else able to related with me?! Recently my love hate relationship has turned to a love relationship as I set up the text/email notification option that’s available with Nicholas’ Additional Card Membership. Thanks to the American Express app I’m able to monitor the Additional Card that we gave our oldest to use as he is out on school functions or traveling with his band. I love being able to give him the freedom to use his card as needed, and having the option to be notified with every purchase to make sure he’s not overspending or making purchases that are unnecessary.
