For 6 years, my kids have dictated my schedule and now I am juggling working part time outside of the home, shuttling my kids to soccer practice, managing our home, spending quality time with my family, training for my first half-marathon in October, and finding time to work in my blog and other projects.

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.

My husband works as an architect and I teach art part time at my son’s school. Louis neighborhood is within walking distance to the zoo and a couple of parks, so I enjoy walking with the kids each day to let them run off some energy and I get a little workout in too. If we want to buy a car, we save and pay cash.
