Raising Financially Responsible Children
The Women’s Personal Finance Network (of which I am a proud member) is currently highlighting the subject of How to Raise Financially Responsible Children. I have a lot of thoughts on this issue — some of which I’ve already shared on this blog in my Kids and Money category. Other thoughts will come out in the [...]
Maintenance Monday: Auto Safety Check-Up
I was all set to continue with my bathroom theme for today’s Maintenance Monday post, but an incident yesterday inspired me to write about auto maintenance instead.
As I was pulling out of The Home Depot parking lot yesterday, a guy came running up behind us and told me that my left back-up light wasn’t working. After thanking [...]
Day 85: A Wall, Kitchen Utensils, Soap, and Pizza
Our new retaining wall has been poured and is curing as we speak — complete with handprints of The Daughter, The Son, and myself. Today’s labor cost me $100 plus a few slices of pie and two glasses of milk ;-)

Day 84: Printer Ink and More Cement
The temperature has dropped here from the balmy low 70’s on Monday to below freezing. I love the winter but I hate being cold (if that makes any sense at all). Anyway, the point is that I didn’t want to leave the house today. Such is the life of a mother and homeowner. I actually [...]
Day 83: Shampoo & Shepherd’s Pie
The Daughter and I made a library run this afternoon — we both had a stack of DVD’s on hold and I had several Personal Finance books waiting as well. Oh, and The Son had a Raymond Chandler book on hold.
While we were at the library, I remembered that yesterday’s shower had been one of [...]
