Keep

-Keep your receipts in one location so you can locate them when you need to return something.
-Keep track of sales. Target will give you the price difference if you buy and item and it goes on sale 2 weeks later if you have the receipt.
-Keep warranty information in one location so you can find it quickly.

Keep

-Keep a well stocked pantry. This way when money is tight you still have the ability to menu plan so your family isn't eating pb and j or ramen noodles for a week.

They want our time not stuff from us. Children equate time = LOVE. Plan to teach them to bake, do crafts, card making, etc. Not only will it be fun but it will strengthen your bond with them.
