Life Is Meant To Be Shared
Since my last post, Mom Blog: Four Tips To Save Money And Reduce Daily Spending, I have been thinking about ways of saving money on a larger scale.

Everyone here in Texas is just wishing for this snow to head our way. Local business employees are dreaming of a "snow day." School bus drivers are talking with the kids about snow possibilities and school cancellations. Parents are wanting just enough snow for the kids to see snow this year, even if the kids can just run in snow flurries for 30 minutes or so.
