My husband and I live in the Willamette Valley in Oregon with our three kids, ages 4-6. My cute kids when they were little I used to be a Spanish teacher until I stopped working to stay home with my kids. Additionally, it’s really important to us to have money to give to our kids so we save for that reason too.

I want to repair a pair of jeans. I believe that you did a recent post about this very thing, and you used jeans to repair Zoe’s jeans, hence my reaching out. -M I’ve worn these jeans lots of times since this repair, and I don’t feel these patches at all! Kristen, I have a sewing question.

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 still remember saving my change as a kid so I could “shop” for books at yard sales.) Our son is 29 and biological. Alan doesn’t share that regret. Go figure.

The officer who informed me about my burnt-out bulb told me that once I got it fixed, I needed to either stop at the police station or find a random officer to sign off on the repair. I tried going to the police station to have someone sign my papers. Thankfully, I did eventually get through the whole thing with a mostly serious face.

As a foolish young high school kid, that rule annoyed me because I wanted to spend ALL of my paycheck, but I still saved a chunk of it because I had no choice. I racked up more debt to move to California, then the fancy car turned out to be a lemon, requiring a bunch of expensive repairs. How did you get interested in saving money?

Also, if something needs repaired, we always look into whether it makes sense for us to try tackling the job. An electric board was going out on our dryer and once we discovered that the repair/replacement was the same price as a new dryer, we decided to try repairing it ourselves. Being consistent.

We don’t believe that it’s our role to prepare kids for the “real world” with ideas like “tough love.” Even though this relates to our kids, we’re no exception to this as adults. Most importantly we model REPAIR. And you’re right, they do. All of us make mistakes.

In fact, the Duggars of TLC’s Nineteen Kids and Counting use paper plates for every single meal. While I understand that 19 kids can generate a lot of dishes, just think how much waste they generate by using paper plates for every meal. Shower repairs and sink faucet repairs can save a lot of money once they stop leaking.

When I was a kid, I shook my head at my Aunt. Some things can be repaired, but usually true collectors want original condition. Don’t clean or repair immediately. Repair only when it will increase the value. I know a few collectors. She collected lots of things, like stamps, Hummel figurines, coins and dolls.
