Mr. Mom

"The days of chivalry are gone!" Damn right, when I'm the one giving bottles, prepping meals, changing diapers, and earning less than my wonderful wife! Ok, so I don't earn less (yet)! The rest is way too true!

More than likely this is the first of many posts to come regarding Mr. Momming, I've got ideas spewing from me regarding this issue. So keep an eye out!

Let us talk about one thing that you can do around the house raising kids to further your financial situation rather than flush it down the drain!

First things first, have you ever tasted the shit that comes out of those baby jars, or these days those squirty things? Other than pure apple sauce, the shit tastes foreign, rotten and nothing like described.

Get yourself one of these bad boys or something like it. Steam pretty much whatever, then blend then put in little "reusable" canisters (see that green placement there) as a matter of fact, if you didn't start this way and you have all those extra baby food jars use those! In the pic, I am blending apple, with potato, I will add sliced ham when it's done and with one apple one potato and a slice of ham I have 3-4 days worth of food for about the cost of ONE bottle of that garbage you buy at the store. So freaking easy to save so much money!

Ok, here I go with a little theory, I have loads of friends and family that have an issue with their kids eating. "They don't like meat" "they don't eat enough" "feeding time is a nightmare" then you look at what these folks are feeding their kiddos and DUH! Would you eat that shit?! Everything I give my kiddos I try first, some, I wouldn't eat simply because of the texture. However, the taste is natural and therefore not bad.

To sum it up, make your kids healthy eaters, and save a boatload of money in the process by making your baby food! The processor that we bought we found on craigslist, a family of 4 we bought it from, we are on our second, and in between we let a friend borrow this unit. Thus, this one machine has fed five kids, what a deal!!!!

Here's one last thought, but in our ridiculous sue happy society, I would be careful. You are bound to know a few kiddos that are of similar age to your precociousness. Band together, and have a day of prepping once a week for a few kids, save money have fun, getting the family's together, and spread the healthy habits of living the money life!

The Psychology of Money: A Personal Insight

Recently, I had an experience that reshaped my understanding of the psychology of money. I took over a property management job where part of my payment came in physical cash, money previously directed to someone else for this task.  Most tenants paid digitally or by check, but one unit always paid in cash. Having that "management" fee/ maintenance fee tangible, in my hand, ignited a unique perspective. It wasn’t about the amount, but the form in which it arrived.  Sure, I could take a full-time job earning in excess of $10K a month. However, that wouldn’t necessarily change my life as it would only take more of my time, the one resource I can't regenerate.  Surprisingly, the extra $1K in cash monthly had a more significant impact, not because it was a windfall, but because it made me more mindful of my earnings. The physicality of cash and the process of earning it manually introduced a sense of value and respect for my work that was somewhat abstract before.  This p...

Elk Hunt - Shakespearean style

In Meeker's vale, where mountains touch the skies, An alfalfa field before us calmly lies. Two hundred fifty elk, a sight to glean, To move unseen a task, nigh unforeseen. Our guide named Hugh, and Father by my side, We hunker down, in quiet we abide. At last I spot him—five by five, the bull, Amidst his kin, the scene is nearly full. A hundred thirty-eight yards separates, My steady aim on destiny debates. For three long minutes, in my sight he stays, But cow elk guard him, blocking aim and gaze. I dare adjust—alert, they bark and flee, My chance arrives, as if by fate's decree. The cows disperse, the bull steps forth alone, My rifle speaks; its aim and end are known. Down falls the bull, as twilight fades from view, Amidst the field and mountains' varied hue. A tale to pass, from elder unto youth, Of patience, skill, and undying truth.

Declutter - What if

  Introduction The subject of decluttering has always been a hot topic in my family, but it was a recent conversation with my mom that really got me thinking. While there's never a bad time to declutter, I've discovered that timing can make a world of difference. The Psychological Underpinnings of Attachment Growing up, I was around family members who, while not hoarders per se, had a tendency to hang onto stuff—think tools gathering dust and too many sleeping bags "just in case." Over time, I noticed this emotional attachment to things didn't just clutter the house but also our minds. The Ideal Conditions for Letting Go After years of living amidst semi-clutter, I had an epiphany: the act of letting go can be incredibly freeing. It's funny how mental barriers often make it difficult to start the decluttering process. But once you overcome them, you're rewarded with a serene sense of calm. Life Events as Natural Catalysts While events like moving homes or ...
