I had three baby showers when I was pregnant for my son–one from each side of the family and one from my co-workers. Many of the other items I needed like cloth diapers and clothes for the baby in bigger sizes I bought from garage sales. Why do so many people have such strong feelings about how one family raises their children?

Plan ahead and hit garage sales, but especially estate sales. Thrift stores are also a great place to shop. For family dinners, have everyone bring a dish, or better yet, do a traveling dinner. Our family’s latest new tradition is to have a post holiday gathering where we only serve soup. It was a great show.

riding lawn mowers, garage door openers and many, many more things we take for granted today. Ours was smaller (about 700 square feet) – 2 bedrooms (my brother and I shared one and my parents the other), a kitchen and a living room, No basement or garage. Hair cuts were done at home by a family member.
