Tax Tips for Parents
I have some important tax tips. Rearing your children and preparing them for the world is a time-consuming and expensive affair. For this reason, when you are filing your taxes, you should do everything in your power to take advantage of all of the credits and deductions at your disposal. If you are intimidated by the code’s, credits and forms a quick internet search to find a tax accountant near me can help. The newly enacted tax code passed by Congress in 2017 will alter how you file your taxes in 2019. Below, we will discuss some of those changes and give tax tips for parents. The Dependent Exemption Has Been Replaced Under previous tax laws, a parent could deduct $4,150 in taxes for each child up to 19 (and up to 25 for children currently attending college). With this new tax code, this will no longer be the case. That said, the doubling of the standard deduction will likely offset personal exemptions. For example, if you are single with kids and merit a head of household deduction, your standard deduction might increase from $7,000 to $13,500. Child Tax Credit The Child Tax Credit alterations were enacted to supplant the…

Merry Christmas Little Peanuts!
Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you enjoy your day! May 2019 be a spectacular for us all! Let’s Ask Google To Swing Around Here Again Every so often I grab a giant digital dust rag and wander through PeanutButterAndWhine.com, polishing up my older posts like antique teacups at a yard sale.

Yes, Yes, I KNOW I’m spoiled. I’m a bottomless pit of wants and needs. In my defense, it is Christmas time. Soooooo what better time to ask for something sparkly? Something with my absolutely favorite stone. A DIAMOND!! Oh, I see you rolling your eyes at me. I just can’t help it! I started at jeulia bridal set pages. I started looking around for a wedding sets for her. Pffftt The Husband doesn’t need a new band. He’s fine! If you could, would YOU update your bridal sets? Let’s say you were that one winner of the big Lottery win a few weeks back, does that change your mind? If money were no object for me, you KNOW I would be wearing a new wedding set every single day of the week! I would switch ’em out. Of Course, when you are shopping at jeulia you can ACT like you won the lottery, yup, the prices are that good! NO one would be able to tell that these stones aren’t real. This massive ring is under $150 right now! WHAAAAAAAAA???? It’s like Kardashian bling! I’m a pave girl, emerald cut. I love big bold sterling silver wedding sets I can’t tell which I love…

My New Craft Room!
Are you ready for the big reveal for my craft room/home office? I am finally 100% moved into my new craft room. IT’s HUGE!! This room was originally designed for my Mom, who some of you may know, passed away almost a year ago. Yes, this room is apartment sized! It also means that I have projects spread from one end to the other. Since the room is in the basement, I can leave everything spread out from end to end. I don’t have to put away ANYTHING!!! Trust me, I am spread out from END to END!! This room just makes me giddy! I have family pictures lining the entrance to Connie’s Chicest She Shed/Room. On the right, I have my sewing machine and my next sewing project all laid out. I decided aprons for Selena, Alice and I. So far the material is still waiting to be washed. Which is another perk! The laundry room IS in the room right off the She Shed. I have my Cricut Explore Air 2 on the other side with my heat press ready to start at a moment’s notice. Seriously, from the old house and having to move a million things to…
