Holy shit...didn't even notice that! Must be a Texas meme I swiped.

I agree about a quality stroller! No side eye from me- we got a really good sturdy jogging stroller secondhand that we loved, it was prolly originally a high ticket item.
I have one going off to college (he is doing National Guard) and we won’t need FAFSA (it’s a fucking scam anyway). Raising kids on a budget rubs off though! Mine are all thrifty and hate waste. I work from home too and was laid off in the fall (thanks to Trump’s trade war) but have had a great job since the beginning…
I remember our broke days very well. My kids are teens now and get nostalgic of the day trips we took to state parks and lakes for free swimming when I made them *special sandwiches* (fluffernutters....cause we were broke😂) and how much fun they had!!
I was a SAHM for 10 years after trying every type of work-life balance possible. I had 3 kids in 5 years and childcare costs made it a no-brainer to stay home. It was awesome! We lived within our means and I am now back to working FT and love it. There really is no magic bullet to raising kids. Just do what works best…
This!!! We lived as a family of 5 on one income for almost a decade because I bought secondhand everything and cooked/grew most of our own food. We lived within our means and I felt guilt *sometimes* saying no to my kids when they wanted new flashy-trashy toys, but having less stuff made them appreciate what we had.
Real estate is all about location. We bought our first home almost 20 years ago for $250k and it is now assessed at $575k and our school/real estate taxes are $9000. We paid off our mortgage already but the cost of living and real estate prices are completely riduculous!! When our youngest graduates high school, we…
I have 3 teenagers and we grow and cook most of what we eat. We garden year-round, raise hens for eggs, and cook most of our food from scratch. My husband and son do hunt and fish and we have a freezer full of venison, wild caught salmon and halibut (Alaska trip each year) so we rarely buy and protein. They only see…
It is sugar, actually.
Anyone who likes this combo is clearly a sociopath.
I second the epidural. Request a patient controlled thing (not sure the proper name, but you can pump it with your finger when you need to- it’s brilliant).
These masochist metal chairs for outdoor seating are my generation's metal slides. Burning asses and second degree burns.
I am a mom of an 18 year-old man. This shit is still the same and it makes me crazy.
