Sierra Harju
My name is Sierra Harju and I reside in Minnesota. I have a degree in Health Science from ASU which provided me the education to help families in all stages of life. I was a single mom for 4 years to my oldest child until I met my partner Bryan. Those 4 years as a single mother provided me with the reality of circumstances that single moms have to face on an everyday basis. My goal is to help guide single mothers to the resources they need and provide some financial education so single moms can support their families and build their future.

Introduction:
The Newsletter will come to you monthly, including tips on how to be the best Mom you can be, regardless of where you're at right now. Sometimes that means meal planning help, budgeting tips, advice on how in the world do you save for retirement on one income, or co-parenting ideas.
With that said, here are some helpful tips to get you started👊
1. Barter Services:
Leverage your skills by bartering them with friends or other parents. For example, if you're good at graphic design, you might offer to design a friend's resume in exchange for babysitting hours.
2. Automate Savings:
Set up a small automatic transfer to a savings account each payday. Even a small amount can add up over time and having it automated means you're less likely to skip it.
3. Fun & Games: Co-Parenting Edition
Gather the troops (aka your kiddos) for a fun-filled game night! From board games to charades, it's the perfect way to bond and create lasting memories. Get crafty with your co-parent and kiddos by tackling a DIY project together. Whether it's building a birdhouse or painting pottery, it's a great way to bond and unleash your creative side.
