Managing finances during maternity leave
Hello moms!
You all are some very bright, intelligent women and I value your opinion. I'm hoping you all can help me out with this article I'm writing. The topic is how women can manage their finances during their maternity leave. I know most people have to take either some sort of reduced pay or unpaid leave (boo!), either of which can wreck havoc on your finances during a particularly trying time.
Can anyone give me some tips on things that they did that made it easier? I appreciate it!

am and being awake for two hours at a time. Wide awake. And nothing
helps her get back to sleep.
It wasn't our…
No, I don't believe it is okay. We try to teach our kids not to hit other people, for any reason; it wouldn't make sense then for parents then to turn around and hit, for any reason either. We can't say one thing and do another. Just my 2 cents!
