My mom laughs at me praising Aldi’s at the top of my lungs
because as a child I was completely mortified and embarrassed
that our family had to shop there. I would pray that I would not
run into a classmate, ironically who was probably shopping there

With spring comes
all of the beauty of the changing season. We finally began
to see our grass; we enjoy seeing the new buds on our trees,
and the sweet smell of a good April shower. What also comes

since I...
When I was
a little girl my parents instilled within me the love for
reading. We used to go to the library once a week and I

Through my reading I learned the power of storytelling.
I sit
beside the phone thinking how this is going to affect my
future employment. I am now going to have a gigantic hole in
my resume where skills and past employment once resided.
How is this going to look to my future employer? Are they
going to wonder...
Vacations…the very word bring tears to my eyes. All of the
packing, getting to our destination, kids not sleeping in
their beds, getting lost, having trouble finding a hotel to
stay in- let’s face it, vacations can evoke nightmares for
mothers. I remember...

each week which outline the stores deals and steals for
that week’s particular campaign. These items are called...
Do not
despair just because your money is limited- you can still
create a warm and inviting home frugally. When people come
into our home and see our front room (the only room we have
