Hi Moms:
Can you believe another school year is beginning? This year, I'll have 2 children in High School; seems like they just entered Pre-school. This new passage is so sad for me, but begins a new chapter for them. But just like the advice I gave them in Pre-school, the same rules still apply:
Sunday, August 17th is National Thrift Shopping Day. And as one who thinks of any excuse to go to my local Thrift Stores, having a national day to shop makes it a celebration! When you shop at Thrift Stores, you are helping many people in your community; the homeless, disabled, and those looking for jobs. So on Sunday, August 17th make a difference and shop thrifty!
When starting out, don't worry about not having enough money. Limited funds are a blessing. Nothing encourages creative thinking in quite the same way.
I've been told to give yourself an hour to cool off before responding to someone who has provoked you. If it involves something really important, wait until overnight.
