It’s been very busy at home
with our 5-month-old baby boy and our 2-year-old dog taking up most of our
time.
Caring for an infant is very
time consuming and involves an incredible amount of responsibility, patience
and love. I’m constantly surprised at
how fast our son is growing up.
Our boy
gets hungry every 2 to 3 hours. He just
started eating rice cereal and oatmeal this week! As his brain is developing, we are reading to
him, talking to him, and singing songs to him every day. The little guy is so curious and wants to
touch everything and put everything into his mouth!
We are helping him develop his motor skills
and hand-eye coordination by watching over him as he plays with his toys. He needs a diaper change every 1-2
hours. No one said raising a child was
going to be easy. That being said, we
have no regrets and couldn’t imagine our life without our son.
Taking care of our dog also
involves a lot of dedication and love.
Our dog Abby wakes me up every morning around 5:50am to 6:00am. Without fail, I take her out for her morning
jog and walk every single day that I’m home.
We spend around 20 to 30 minutes enjoying our morning outdoors. For me, it’s the best way to start the
day. I know very few people that get to
exercise regularly, let alone every single day.
Abby gets to meet other dogs almost every day, sometimes more than once
a day. We make sure she gets to go
outside at least 3 to 4 times a day.
This keeps all of us healthy and as an added bonus has helped us meet
and develop relationships with our neighbors.
We groom our dog ourselves, which involves bathing her once every 3-4
weeks, cutting her nails every 2-3 weeks and giving her a hair cut every
month. For those thinking of dog
ownership, I highly recommend reading this post
by one of my favorite bloggers, Mr. Money Mustache. He talks about the many downsides and offers
a contrary upside opinion (from his sister) about owning a dog.
Anyways, my family has been
keeping us busy and that’s why there has been a slowdown in blog posts. While I’ve slowed down on posting, many
bloggers continue to post the best deals in credit card rewards, bonus points
promotions, and other hot deals to help you save money. I’d like to the share my 2 favorite bloggers
who regularly post hot deals on credit card and points promotions.
The Frequent Miler has always
been known for posting the most detailed information online about manufactured
spending. He offers a “Quick Deals” mailing
list you can sign up for. Up to several
times a day, he will send you the latest and greatest hot deals that will help
you earn points and save money.
Doctor of Credit also writes very
detailed and informative posts about all things related to credit cards: sign
up promotions, manufactured spending, as well as hot deals on points
promotions.
I highly recommend signing up
for both of these newsletters. They
offer plenty of hot deals to keep you busy earning points and cash back. I’ll
be posting more articles soon.
