With young kids, a lot of my mental space is taken up, especially since my daughter is still losing teeth. I got tired of the usual “put it under the pillow and leave money” routine, so I decided to make little money envelopes. They’re great because when your child loses a tooth, they can color the envelope and place it under their pillow. While they’re asleep or out of the room, you can use a matching envelope to add money, or use the one they decorated. I’ll be adding these to the family section of my shop later this week, along with a tooth fairy envelope that tells a story. Subscribers will get exclusive access to one-of-a-kind original artwork and some fun extras for everyone. Do you use tooth fairy bags for your kids? I’d love to know how you handle it.
I am adding these in the family section of the shop later this week if you want to grab a few for yourself. I am creating a tooth fairy envelope that can tell a story as well.
For my subscribers there will be an invite only to one of a kind original artwork and then some fun stuff for all.
Do you use tooth fairy bags for your kids? Let me know how you manage that. I would be curious.
Don’t forget to share our posts. We have lots of goodies coming 🙂
“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.” – Proverbs 31:25
One of the biggest shifts in my life has been steadily stepping into entrepreneurship and embracing fiscal responsibility. Every day, I learn something new about money—and here’s the truth: money is not a bad word. It’s actually a powerful tool and far more than just a way to pay bills. It can fund dreams, create security, and open doors to freedom.
There’s an old saying: “People perish for lack of knowledge and vision.” That resonates deeply with me. Many of us, if we’re honest, approach money in a hand-to-mouth way because we lack a clear vision for what to do with it. Years ago, I took time to pray and reflect on the vision for my life—not as a wife or mom, but as a woman.
That moment set a series of changes in motion. I realized I didn’t want another purse or more ill-fitting clothes. I wanted purpose, impact, and abundance—but without vision, those things felt out of reach. I don’t feel that so much now. I am in a space of looking around and seeing what life has to offer and being grateful for what is there. There is alot and I will be sharing lots of resources and initiatives from my home state.
The Reality for Women and Money
Here’s why this conversation matters:
After divorce, women’s household income drops by an average of 41%, compared to 23% for men.
Nearly 56% of women defer financial decisions to their spouse, leaving them vulnerable when life changes.
Financial literacy among women lags behind men—only 52% of women demonstrate strong financial knowledge compared to 62% of men.
These numbers are sobering, especially when you consider that many women have never opened a bill or managed household finances until a major life event forces them to. But here’s the good news: awareness is the first step toward empowerment.
Gratitude and Growth
My biggest attitude is gratitude. Life will hand you lemons—but you can keep squeezing out lemonade. These are the years to change it all. Whether you’re starting a business, learning to invest, or simply creating a budget, every step you take toward financial literacy is a step toward freedom.
Your Call to Action
Don’t wait for life to force you into financial independence—start today. Create a vision for your money. Learn, plan, and grow. Because when women have knowledge and vision, we don’t just survive—we thrive.
Today I turned on the news and saw something that gave me hope. It was definitely a “Your Cross Is Your Crown” moment. Lately, I have been feeling like I can do hard things. Especially in areas where I may have allowed my skills to um, lapse–i.e. the financial literacy department.
As you know, life can throw curveballs and there are unexpected challenges that change everything. For some, those twists lead to single motherhood. For others, it’s been the reality from day one. Either way, the journey can feel overwhelming. You work hard, sometimes juggling multiple jobs, not just for survival but because deep down, you want more time with your kids. Ironically, the biggest struggle for single parents isn’t just money—it’s time. Time to guide, nurture, and be present.
I grew up with both parents, but they worked tirelessly to give us a good life. I often wondered if they missed moments with me and my brother while chasing financial security. That thought stays with me as a mom—because whether you’re single or partnered, the desire is the same: to give your children the best future possible.
Here’s the truth: being a single parent is not a life sentence. Kids grow up. One day, you’ll step into a new chapter—stronger, wiser, and ready to build something even better. But right now, your focus is on their future. And today, I found something that gave me hope: Trump Accounts. This is an amazing philanthropic gift from the Dell Family. I am here for anyone who puts tangible action into play, especially for our nation’s youth. This is huge. I plan to post more on the steps to engaging this opportunity in future posts but this is a genuine solution for children under 18 and their families. Read on for how it works.
Why This Matters
If you’re a single mom or part of a working family, you know the daily balancing act—stretching every dollar while dreaming of college, a first home, or a debt-free start for your child. Saving feels impossible when bills demand your attention. That’s why Trump Accounts are such a breakthrough.
What Are Trump Accounts?
$1,000 Government Seed: Every eligible child gets a head start.
Up to $5,000/year Family Contributions: Build steadily over time.
Employer Contributions: Up to $2,500 annually, tax-free.
Dell Family Bonus: $250 for millions of children in qualifying communities.
Funds grow through investments in U.S. stock index funds. If fully funded, a child born in 2026 could have:
$303,800 by age 18
$1,091,900 by age 28 (Projections, not guarantees—but powerful nonetheless.)
Why It’s a Game-Changer for Single Moms
This isn’t just about money—it’s about opportunity. It’s about breaking cycles, leveling the playing field, and giving your child a foundation for education, entrepreneurship, and independence. For single moms, Trump Accounts offer something rare: a chance to turn small steps today into life-changing outcomes tomorrow.
Final Thoughts
You already give your child love, resilience, and guidance. Now, you can give them something even more powerful—a financial head start. This is more than a savings account; it’s a promise of possibility.
