August 29, 2013 by Christine 2 Comments

Walking through the mall yesterday, I bumped into a friend that I hadn't seen in awhile. She asked if I was ready for school to start.

June 25, 2013 by Christine 8 Comments

Do you buy a year end gift for your child(ren)'s teacher(s)? I do. Even though June is a heavy month, cash-output wise, I do still make sure to buy a little something for people who spend the majority of their weekdays with my children.

Summer Money

June 13, 2013 by Christine 2 Comments
