Between clothes, food, school, and activities, it sometimes feels overwhelming. Any budgeting tips or ways to make things easier without feeling guilty? Would love to hear how other moms handle it!

I hear you! Keeping up with all the expenses that come with kids can definitely feel overwhelming at times. A good trick is to plan ahead buying essentials like clothes and school supplies during sales or off-season can save a lot in the long run. Also, prioritizing quality over quantity helps; a few well-made outfits last longer than a pile of fast-fashion pieces.

When it comes to shopping for little ones, I’ve found online stores to be a lifesave convenient and often with better deals. For baby girl online shopping, I always keep an eye out for discounts and bundle offers to make sure I’m getting the best value. How do you usually budget for your little one’s needs? 😊

I don't know if this will help or not but I understand that you probably feel like there are not enough hours in the day for the stuff you do. But being a mom who has been through this. I would make myself a weekly schedule and try to stick to it. Depending on everyone's else schedule I would do my stuff around the house when I knew no one would be there and everyone was at school or the weekend after there activities. I have find that if I have a schedule and stick to it. The schedule help me feel less overwhelmed.

It's tough. If you have a partner, it's good to budget and make a plan together. Think of how much you can reasonably spend on your kids then think about how to get the most out of your moneh.
