Just over a month ago, my sister celebrated her Birthday and she is a tough one to shop for! I like gifting experiences much more than material items. SO… a reading experience was what I decided on – whether she wanted to read or not (I’m such a nice sister – ha ha)!

The book that came to mind instantly was a book my friend, Sarah Deveau had just published - Money $mart Mom.

My sister read the entire book in 1 day, on her way home from her Birthday trip to New York City! She loved it and has already shared it with one of our mutual friends to read. I asked Rayel to write a couple lines about the book.

“Money $mart Momis an excellent source of info on practical parenting. Tons of links to where to go to save money and take advantage of deals, grants, money saving tips and places to go. A book to fold page corners, use as a resource, and a great easy book to read at any point in your parenting adventure.” – Rayel Walker

To support my friend, I also bought a copy for myself. As I’ve learned from Sarah and my sister, it’s an awesome book to read before you’re pregnant and have children also. I am about 1/2 way through it and have gained a lot of insight into what starting a family looks like financially. I expected to learn about the cost difference between using regular or cloth diapers. However, I’m half through the book and haven’t even got to that topic yet!

Congratulations Sarah on publishing your 2nd book; you are SUCH an inspiration to me.

I encourage all of you to check out her website www.moneysmartmom.ca for free tips, to buy the book, OR find out what stores to find her book. I found it at my local Chapters:
