The Unofficial Harry Potter Sweet Shoppe Kit Review

Can you believe, I have not seen a single one of the Harry Potter movies! My daughter and husband LOVE them, me on the other hand, just cannot get into them.

At what age, do you think it is time a child learns about money? I personally think teaching a child the importance of money at a early age will help them better understand certain concepts once they get older.  I have always been the one in my family to manage the bank account. The one to assure money got put in the proper places. For instance, so much for groceries, so much for bills, so much for savings. I will {Read More}
