It’s Getting Hot in Here: Perimenopause and You!

Posted on August 2, 2021July 27, 2021 by The Basic Moms

A Simple Skincare Routine for the Low Maintenance Mom

Posted on July 26, 2021July 26, 2021 by The Basic Moms

I’ve never done much to take care of my skin. Scratch that. I think it is safe to say that I actually used to actively work to damage it. I’m not proud, but I’m of the tanning salon generation. No simple skincare routine, here. Because I don’t often wear makeup, and when I do, it’s just…

We Survived: Virtual School

Posted on July 7, 2021June 30, 2021 by The Basic Moms

I was more worried about virtual school than I let on last August. I tried to play the role of “cool, calm, and collected” to those around me. But deep down, I was terrified about virtual school.

Claire’s Favorite Cash Back Apps

Posted on June 24, 2021June 22, 2021 by The Basic Moms

Cash back apps have been around for a while now. If you are like me, you were probably very hesitant to use them at first. I have four cash back apps that I have been using regularly for a while now. Some of them for years, even, and I can’t say I have one complaint…
