This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and TurboTax, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #TurboTaxACA http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

Every year filing my taxes can be extremely stressful. I remember a few years ago I would go to several tax offices to see which one would offer a better deal. I didn't want to spend a ridiculous amount of money just to file my income tax. This year my boyfriend went to file his taxes and the person who helped him had no idea what she was doing. I was so relieved to know that I wouldn't have to deal with that this year. I can file my own taxes at home and enjoy a cup of coffee. This year I wanted to share my stress free experience using TurboTax. 

1. Create a checklist of all personal information and documents needed. Make sure to have all paperwork (w2, 1040A/EZ, etc.) organized and ready. I have multiple forms coming in, therefore I have to make sure I don't leave any out. Once I begin receiving them I put them all together so I won't misplace them. 

2. Track expenses. As far as medical bills, student loans, Bank interests, investments, etc. Keep all receipts together and in a secure place. There are plenty of online programs where you can snap a picture of your receipt and later export the data for your yearly tax return, or simply put together in a folder.

3. Keep organized. If you are filing from home using TurboTax make sure you have all important forms on hand and ready to go. Keep all forms together like I mentioned before to avoid any mess up on your tax return. Organization is the key! 

I hope these help you as much as they helped me. I don't think I will ever have to leave my home to file my taxes. Remember you have until February 16th to file for FREE using TurboTax.

It seems like our baby's firsts will always be the most memorable. I remember the first time I held Evan in my arms, the first time he smiled, his first laugh and even his first steps. They are moments that can never be forgotten. Expressing your excitement/happiness is impossible for priceless moments like these. Do you remember the first time you changed your baby's diaper?

The first time I changed Evan's diaper I was terrified! All I knew was that I would be using Pampers because that was our hospitals #1 choice. I refused to change his diaper the first week or so. My excuse was that I needed to watch and learn. When I finally found the courage to change my own son's diaper it took me a good ten minutes to figure it out. I always asked myself "How will I know when he needs a diaper change?" I was so happy that Pampers Swaddlers have a color changing wetness indicator that helped me indicate when it was time for a new diaper. I must confess it took me a while to get the hang of it but after a while I really enjoyed it. I think back to that clueless first time mom and I can't help but laugh.

Pampers has made diaper changes easier, comfier and fun! We have tried many diaper brands and Pampers Swaddlers is Pampers softest diaper and offers up to 12 hours of overnight protection. The absorb away liners pull wetness and mess away from babies' skin. Pampers Swaddlers wraps baby with superior comfort, protection and blanket-like softness, helping to take care of babies during all the precious first moments they share with their parents. We have shared so many first moments with Pampers and it's great to know that we can continue enjoying making memories because Pampers are now available through a size 6! Pampers listened to moms who said they wanted the Pampers Swaddlers softness they know and love to be available throughout their diapering years.
