March 29, 2016 by Scarlett Ballantyne 1 Comment

Being a parent of teenage girls, I always assumed that they were the more expensive gender to raise.

I used to love heading to my daughter's elementary school at 2:15 every day to chat with the other parents around the school doors as we waited for the bell to ring.
