Professional Associations

My husband is in the process of applying for a new job. It has taken us both quite a while to complete all of the paperwork - at least the past month or so. He also travelled for interviews and will have his last one this coming week. We are both excited for the chance [...]

Overspending on kids

We attended a birthday party over the weekend where the room looked like a unicorn threw up.
