I received a bag full of goodies today from the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS). It's called a Junior Sea Bag. The give you a bag full of new baby items for your new little one. There's also a handmade crochet blanket included in the bag.
You have to participate in a Budget For Baby Class to receive the Junior Sea Bag which is valued at $80. The budget class was a one on one class with a counselor. It took me about 15 minutes. We went over my current income and bills then we created a budget that included new baby expenses such as milk and diapers.
The budget really helped me out. It gave me an idea of how much money that I will need to save for now. I wasn't anticipating all of the expenses so it was nice to get a quick overview.
If you are expecting a baby and are a first time mom then you should take this free class. Contact your local NMCRS.

Nice. I wonder if the Army does something similar?

ReplyDeleteWe did the budget for baby class a couple years ago. I learned a lot about how much money we would be spending on groceries, which was a major concern, so it helped us to prepare for the baby. But actually, I found out that having a baby didn't really alter our budget too horribly bad...

ReplyDeleteWhen our first child was born we tried every diaper at the store. We couldn't get a diaper to last him through the night without leaking. Only a few expensive diapers would not leak through night. But some would leave some gel looking residue on the baby's skin. We are now onto our second child and he just turned two. We still swear by Honest diapers.
