The girls had last week off but this week begins our new summer schedule- which include school!
Yes, I am “that” mom… The one who wishes the schools around here had a year-round schedule. Surely I’m not the only mom who struggles to find amusing things to do on a daily basis that don’t [...]
There is a new community on Facebook that I would like to share with you. It’s called “A Mother’s Promise“. It could easily be called “A Parent’s Promise” or “A Promise to Your Child”. The name really doesn’t matter, the mission, however, does.

I’m gonna admit something that may get me in trouble. Doug & I are not saving for our daughters’ college education. Not a cent. We are saving for retirement, we are paying off debt. But we are not saving for college.
Both Doug & I found ways to pay for college ourselves. [...]
