NEW Halloween Printables in my Etsy Shop!!
Ain't no shame in my game! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Halloween. It's like my Christmas. I love all the Halloween things (169 pins and counting)!!!!
I love to try and watch a scary movie, only to puss out. I love all the candy and I love dressing up. Now I have kids and I can dress them up too. I have almost as many Halloween decorations as I do Christmas.
So I decided that I should spread my anal retentive, OCD-ness to the bestest holiday there is. I designed these printables to help take the stress and worry out of Halloween and b/c I am an organizational freak. We all knew that, yes? Good.
Let's take a look at the new printables, shall we?
This calendar will help you stay on top of all the Halloweenie things - decorations, candy, costumes.
This checklist allows you to see what decorations you have and where they are stored.
These labels work together with the inventory list to know what box contains what decorations. The labels are formatted to print on Avery US Labels 6578
This two page party planner has everything you need to throw on hell of a Halloween party.
This expanded guest list helps you track who is coming and what they are bringing.
This planner helps you know what food will be served at the party.
For all the great recipes you want to try, a planner with three per sheet.
Hop on over to my Etsy Shop to get this pack for yourself.

New Cleaning Printables and COUPON
A while back, I expanded my Budget Pack in my Etsy shop and made sure to post all about it.
Now I am happy to say my most popular pack - The Cleaning Pack - has been expanded as well. What are the new printables?
I have redesigned the original Weekly Cleaning Checklist! The original is still included in the pack, so don't worry. I have just updated it now to include a lighter cleaning schedule. Now cleaning the major rooms is no longer linked to a specific day. There are less daily cleaning tasks as well but also room to add more.
For those that only have time once a week to clean, there is now a Once A Week Cleaning Checklist to help with those tasks. 14 weekly cleaning tasks with space for seven more will help to keep your house sparkling clean with only one day of cleaning per week (or month).
Created from another popular post on the blog, I now have recipe cards for all the green cleaners PLUS TWO BONUS RECIPES never before seen on the blog. Now you will never look up a recipe again. Simply print and you will never again have to guess the recipe for glass cleaner.
And to make sure you always have the ingredients you need for green cleaners or to make sure you never run out of bleach again, I have created four Cleaning Supply Checklists. One for green cleaning, one for traditional cleaning, one for both and one blank for you to customized just how you want.
So now you have seen all the new cleaning printables I have designed that are included in the new *expanded* Cleaning Pack in my Etsy shop.
Buy this pack, or anything else in my shop, and take 15% off your order! Use coupon code NEW15 at checkout.

New Budget Worksheet - Finance Calendar and COUPON CODE
This is the sixth and final post in a series on the new budget worksheets I have created that are NOW available in my Etsy Shop.
I am so excited to share this template so everyone can bask in my anal retentive ways. I like to keep track of things. I don't think that is any secret. In fact, my therapist told me on the second visit, in a very nice way, that there was just no hiding it.
So I like to see, in detail and often, everything. In this case, monthly bills and when they are due.
For me having a calendar like this is a great way to keep on top of all your finances. You can see when you will get paid, when bills are due. You can calculate how much will go out at the end of the week and how much will come in. It is also great to see if a payment due date falls on a nonbusiness day, so you can make it in advance and avoid all the late fees.
This worksheet allows you to write in the left column all the bills that are due for the month and then track them on the calendar on the right. It keeps all your finances in one spot and helps to never miss a payment.
So now you have seen all the budget worksheets I have designed that are included in the new *expanded* Budget Pack in my Etsy shop.

New Budget Worksheet - Checkbook Registers
This is the sixth post in a series on the new budget worksheets I have created that will soon be available in my Etsy Shop.
It seems I never shut up about how I pay bills.
It just never occurred to me to stop using that silly *small* and *ugly* checkbook register when paying bills and reconciling my statements and design my own *bigger* and *prettier* one.
So I did. It works great in my Household Binder. I can add a lot more transactions to the page and it stays in one place with all the other budgeting templates.
And I have both a horizontal and vertical one.
Come back tomorrow when I talk about a finance calendar!

New Budget Worksheet - Safe Deposit Box Log
This is the fifth post in a series on the new budget worksheets I have created that will soon be available in my Etsy Shop.
It's a great idea to have a safe deposit box. You can keep your Home Inventory Log in there as well as other important documents, like original birth, marriage, death and divorce certificates.
We have the important paperwork above as well as things like savings bonds, family jewelery, valuable coins in our safe deposit box.
So we need a good way to track what we have in there. This log allows us to know where the box is located, as in the actual bank, where the key is, any special instructions to access and the contents. We can log when we add or remove any items and we also have a record should anything happen with the safe deposit box.
Check back tomorrow when I talk about checkbook registers.

New Budget Worksheet - Donation Log
This is the fourth post in a series on the new budget worksheets I have created that will soon be available in my Etsy Shop.
Each year we donate to several charities in our community. We have a rotating list of charities that cover a wide range of topics from arts and education to animals and the environment to women's issues. We also make several donations of physical goods - mainly clothes and food - to local organizations as well. A good way to keep track of these donation is with this log.
And with two kids that grow like weeds, I never have a shortage of clothes that could use a good home.
Since we claim these donations on our taxes, it is important to keep track of the amount as well as the receipts. The log helps to keep all the information in one place so I won't will be less likely to lose any paperwork.
This log allows you to see the date of the donation, the organization, the value and description of the donation, as well as receipt received.
Tomorrow I discuss my safe deposit box log.

New Budget Worksheet - Daily Expense Log
This is the third post in a series on the new budget worksheets I have created that will soon be available in my Etsy Shop.
I have a confession to make; despite my actual job where I track money for a living, I am notoriously shitty tracking our family money. Or I was. I designed all these budget worksheets as a way to get my family's shit together and get out of debt.
One of the biggest ways I found to lose track of money was to buy a bunch of little shit everyday. By keeping the totals within a cup of coffee range, it was easy to forget just what you spent. But that money adds up quicker than a hookers and blow habit. If you don't keep track of it, soon all your money could be gone.
So I designed this as a way to help keep track of all those little expenses. While I know the big bills monthly bills by due date, it was easy to gloss over the gas station trips or the beer runs.
You might not have enough daily expenses to fill out an entire sheet. If so, feel free to combine several days on to one sheet. The best way to keep on top of every penny is to sit down at the end of the night and fill this out. If you keep your receipts, it should be easy. Even if you don't keep your receipts, you should be able to log on to your bank's website and track your expenses there as well.
Once you get in the habit of reviewing your expenses (and income, hopefully!!) daily, you can see where your money goes daily.
Coming up tomorrow, I will go over tracking donations.

New Budget Worksheet - Online Bill Pay Checklist
This is the second post in a series on the new budget worksheets I have created that will soon be available in my Etsy Shop.
I talked here about how I handle bill paying. It's a weekly process where I balance the books, write the checks and pay the bills online. Like most people, I imagine, a good portion of these bills are paid online. A good way to track all that is to use this tracker.
The tracker has spaces for the date the bill was paid, the bill, how it was paid (bank online bill pay vs company website), the amount, the reference/confirmation number and a spot for reconciliation.
For me, the best feature of this tracker is the reference/confirmation number. Most of the time, I don't bother to print the confirmation page to help save the environment. Besides, most of the time I get a confirmation email anyway with the information included. But, my inbox is a hot fucking mess. I have 1000+ UNREAD emails in my primary email inbox alone. Shit. So having this tracker keeps me from having to sort through the piles of emails in my inbox.
If you have a lot of accounts that you pay online, you can use one sheet per account. Or if you are like me, you would save paper and use one sheet for the entire year. It might end up being two sheets at the end of the year, but that's okay.
Tomorrow I cover how to keep track of daily expenses.

New Budget Worksheet - Bill Tracker and Checklist
This is the first post in a series on the new budget worksheets I have created that will soon be available in my Etsy Shop.
Why budget worksheets, you might ask?
Well, because money management seems to be a lost art, something that most people don't really do - like cook or sew. My folks never once taught me about money management. In fact, my mom told me when I got my first paycheck and then spent it all at the mall, that "You make money to spend money." O.o Thanks Mom.
So a basic lack of planning and knowledge about money seems to be universal or at least among everyone I know. Add to the fact that while I was pregnant with The Good Daughter, The Good Husband was laid off. We were having a house built and a baby on the way and started to live on credit cards. Then TGH got a job, we moved in and TGD was born and we NEEDED all the new and shiny baby things and house things and everything else. Then we had to pay for daycare and then OOPS!! along comes The Good Son. Everything seemed to get out of control.
At the beginning of the year, we sat down and had a come to Jesus about our money. When it was coming in, where it was going out and how the fuck to get out of debt. We decided to do a debt snowball to be debt free within a few years. So I wanted different ways to track all our money and I created all the following worksheets.
We begin the series with a spin off of two a popular budget worksheets, the bill tracker and the bill checklist. Currently, each serves a specific and useful purpose. And both kick ass while doing it.
But sometimes concise is best, so I designed this worksheet as a way to combine both the bill tracker and the checklist.
Here you can track each expense, the date they are due, the amount you paid each month and a handy checkbox to mark that bad boy off once you have paid. There is also space available for notes.
The Good Husband and I plan to be debt free, with the help of these worksheets, in about 21 months. It sucks in the meantime but when we get to the end, it will be worth it to only have the house payment. Then we can save for the kids' college and I won't have to worry about TGD owing a pair of clear heels.
Come back tomorrow, when I will cover online bill paying.

Breastfeeding Mother's Survival Kit
Now that I am experiencing all the joys of caring for a newborn again, I thought
would share with you all the things I found that
helped me survive the first few weeks nursing a newborn.
First, claim your territory. I personally like our single chair and footstool in the living room since it provides the most support when holding The Good Baby. So I plant my ass in the chair and everyone else can go away. I like to hold my babies, so I fill the DVR with The Walking Dead episodes and settle in for 12 hours of cuddle time with the baby.
Next I have gathered several essentials for the breastfeeding new mom and kept them close in a storage box. Since my ass is planted for a good chunk of the day, I need things I will use within reach, so I don't have to put the baby down and get up or ask The Good Husband and hear him bitch.
So what do I have in the breastfeeding mother's survival kit?
1. Lanolin - ohmygawd does breastfeeding hurt like a motherfucker in the first few weeks. Having a newborn Hoover on your nipples 12 times a day can lead to cracked, sore and bleeding nipples. Remember that time Tara Reid was at a Puff Daddy party and the strap on her dress fell down to reveal a really bad boob job that looked like wolverines had been gnawing on her tit? Yeah, your nipple will look like that. Slather that bitch up with lanolin and it will help.
2. Painkillers - b/c, let's face it, lanolin just won't be enough. If you have pushed your kid out of your vag or through the wall of your abdomen, you will be in pain. And the kind folks at the hospital should give you pain meds. You might worry about taking them and how it will effect your supply but let me just say - TAKE ALL THE MEDS. Seriously. Take them as often as you can until they run out.
3. Snacks - for the next few weeks, most of your meals will consist of things you can eat with one hand. Keep some shit, like this and this on hand.
4. Fenugreek - just to make sure your milk supply is at a healthy level.
5. Vitamin D drops - this is something new to me in the three years since I had The Good Daughter. but since I don't want TGB to get rickets or scurvy or whatever, I give him the drops.
6. Mylicon - your baby will probably be more gassy than your 80 year old uncle Jack and will fart louder than him too. but since you don't want to see your baby in pain with a belly full of gas, give him some drops at each feeding.
7. Spit up rags - the same immature system that causes your baby to have farts and explosive shits that will clear a room will also force stuff out the other end. be prepared to be puked on. it will remind you of college, only this time I hope you don't ruin your favorite shirt.
8. Boob therapy - you know that lanolin you have on hand for your sore nipples, well the rest of your boob will hurt too and you will need something to soothe it. Thera Pearl 3 in 1 Breast Therapy (the purple cloth, next to my phone on the photo) is an amazing product. You can heat it up to help with pumping or you can freeze it for when you are engorged and feel like you have 15 lbs bowling balls on your chest.
9. Nipple helpers - Latch Assist is another great product if you have flat or inverted nipples. I'm sorry you now know too much about my nipples.
10. Smart Phone - nothing sucks more than being up at 3 am and falling asleep while nursing your baby. You wake up in a panic thinking you might have dropped your baby or worse. So keep your phone on hand to keep your ass awake in the wee small hours.
11. Reading Material - for when you have watched all of The Walking Dead. A few breastfeeding books I have are this one, this one and this one. My aunt gave me that Supper Nanny book. I don't know if that is a passive aggressive comment on how we have done with The Good Daughter or not.
12. Snot sucker - you know that bulb syringe they give you in the hospital? Yeah, that ain't sucking shit out. Get this. Seriously.
13. Bink - I know this is controversial for a BFing mom, but I think they are a life saver.
14. Remote - once, while on maternity leave with TGD, I couldn't find the remote and had to sit through a marathon of Rambo movies. It was a horrible experience and whenever I hear Stalone's voice I get PTSD. Don't let that happen to you.
15. Boppy pillow - since both kids were c/s babies, I nursed them in the football hold for the longest time, while my incision healed. The boppy was a huge help in getting everyone comfortable and on the boob.
16. Baby Tracker - to help you keep track of the shit. literally.
Since you are BFing a baby, it is hard to see how many ounces they are eating a day. The best gauge is "output" aka shitty and pissy diapers. You will be told to keep track of how many of each your baby is making and that will tell you if they are getting enough milk.
Now normally you would think you would be able to keep track of that on your own, or remember the last breast you used to nurse, but in the dark haze of sleep deprivation you won't. Trust me. So I have created this tracker to keep track of how often you nurse and which side, when the baby sleeps and yup, how many pissy and shitty diapers you change in a day.
This will help you start to see a pattern over time. When TGS was up every two hours for the first two weeks, I thought he was broken and - holy shit! I don't remember your sister nursing this much - but when I checked her trackers, I saw that she was nursing every hour.
If you are expecting a new baby or just had one - Congrats!! You will get to sleep again sometime. You can also download a copy of this template here.
