What I tell my kids is that while I DO have the money sitting in my account to buy the things they ask for, I have to prioritize how I spend my money. I have to make sure I have enough for me and daddy when we get old, I have to make sure I keep money aside for our holiday, I have to save money to buy a new car in a…

Has he marked himself as safe on facebook?

We did a week out of town last week. Drove down through some treacherous weather in the Rockies and then set up camp at my husband’s boss’s fancy vacation house. It was so relaxing and I tried skiing for the first time. I went downhill standing up. Totally conquered a fear. My kids joined in and picked it up right…
