It’s OK to talk about money. Let’s make it fun!
I am a financial literacy educator, certified credit counselor, stay at home mom…and I have a spending problem.
What is money dress mom? Financially Friendly education, fashion and family lifestyle. Or to break it down in list style (as I like to)
Money: financial literacy content and resources
Dress: fashion content and links to my stores
Mom: family friendly content and resources
Money Dress Mom is my way of using my skills and knowledge to hold myself accountable.
I will be trying out all my tips, tricks and lessons from when I was teaching and counseling AND reminding myself of goals I’ve set, as my alter ego: Money Dress Mom.
So I’m putting on my full-length money dress, my dollar sign earrings and my green aviator shades to provide a safe, fun space to talk about money.
