The following morning, I took my kids to school, came home and went to bed, except something was different. He is family and I got into my reserves and paid the bill. I was wrong. your moment.

I’m in my 60’s, I’ve been married to the love of my life for 44 years and we have two adult “kids.” We consider her our “bonus kid” and our family is extremely close. I enjoy blogging and biking, and I usually cycle between 15 and 20 miles a day indoors when I’m not getting out to hit a bike trail.

Teaching your kids about money is one of the best things you can do to set them up for financial success in the future. Being that financial security strategies aren’t taught in the school classroom, it’s important to sit down with your kids at home and teach them valuable lessons in financial management. De-Programming Your Kids.

I really wish I’d started reading the blog when I started following her on Instagram because it’s a lovely place to hang out. We make regular trips to visit family, but don’t really do any other traveling.

While the lessons teach my kids to swim, there are benefits to me as a parent as well. My family enjoys the water.

Skip the kid's menu - If you can, try to avoid the kid's menu. Sure, they have grilled cheese and pizza and those things that all kids seem to like, but everything is overpriced and half the time kids never finish food they are given. If you can, split something with them or an entrée between two kids.

I didn’t relate to the homeschooling posts at that time so I ended up re-discovering her blog about 6-7 years ago and have been reading regularly ever since. This is completely inspired by this blog.
