A big Thank You! to you all for the feedback we have been receiving regarding book one in the Minna Series (Learning to Make Choices)
It's been both helpful and inspiring to us in the process of creating exciting reading experiences for the children.

Take a moment to reflect on this:
Our behavior as adults is largely influenced by what we learnt either through observation, formally or informally while young.For example, think about the items you shopped for and used while young eg. toiletries, condiments, stationery, etc. Compare that with what you use now as an adult...see any similarities?
These "lessons" stick with us for almost a lifetime. They become so natural we sometimes find ourselves 'rebranding' similar products in the market with the old brands we have known or used. (I do this quite often).
Similarly, sound financial lessons and habits learnt while young will be bound in the mind and heart of our children for a lifetime. Let's do this together.

Thinking of an easy way to start having the money conversation with your kids? Stories have a way of carrying us into a different world and allowing us to see the world through different eyes. Often we see ourselves through the stories.
Great for children between the ages of 6 and10. Easy to read, pictorial, relatable, and fun!

In understanding or beginning to unearth our relationship with money and embracing healthy habits only then can we pass on the same to our children. Financial literacy more often than not is caught not taught. The little eyes around us are watching.
We are both excited and honored to be having this conversation that and have provided a platform for.

It's amazing the kind of energy, renewed strength, hope, that comes with a new year, new month, new week, birthdays, anniversaries (you catch the drift). It feels like a new start and it is in many ways. That said unless we make deliberate changes, work out how we intend to get to actualize the big picture we would like to see, well things will remain as they were or perhaps deteriorate.
Nothing just happens, things are made to happen. If we want to have better financial health, more meaningful relationships, etcetera etcetera, then we need to work towards change, have our “why’s” very clear, have systems in place to evaluate our progress, have accountability "partners" among other things. The bottom line is: Nothing changes unless we change.
We hope to see and hear about the steps you are making in whatever area of your life towards the change you want to see, we will be sharing the same as we go.
