Job The other night while I was trying to coax Job through his {my} bedtime routine, Job said to me, “Mom, I have to finish my x-box game or Lego project. You know I’m a finisher.” I hadn’t really thought of it that way before. Job takes a while to start a task, but once he’s … [Read more...]

Generic and Name brand drugs have proven to be different for my kids.

Dollars and Sense

I will be blogging this year about Dollars and Sence. I’m a frugal wanna be. I did not grow up in a frugal household. I now know money was tighter in my grade school years. My parents used Visa to buy now pay later. Once I hit high school, my parent’s income soared. My father was a … [Read more...]
