I’m a 53-year-old mother of 2 (grown) and grandmother of 4. Being between houses and living in hotels mostly, it’s hard to cook. If you’ve got the questions from me and you’ve been sitting on them a while, it’s totally ok to send them in. ? Here’s Ginger! Tell us a bit about yourself.

The last time I went to Disney World , I was in 4th grade and I remember going with my grandma and great-grandma, throwing a tantrum because I wanted to meet Cinderella and my grandma and great-grandmother were taking their time at the souvenir shop. I was frugal for travel and saved up for a nice hotel. Now that is cheap living !

My mother grew up on a farm, and from her accounts my grandmother and grandfather (who also was a foreman at the local glass factory, along with being an independent farmer) were frugal, and sometimes times were tight. My grandpa would shoot squirrels when they needed meat, and they had a big garden and my grandmother baked her own bread.

I was so excited to attend a spa day at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Miami last week courtesy of Nuance Salma Hayek and CVS! The products represent the fusion of her grandmother’s cosmetology training with her own vision of beauty, shaped by years of travel around the world.

My car isn’t brand new and I need it to drive my kid to her competitive cheer out-of-state events and save up for hotel rooms and pay for uniform. In the back of my mind, with everything that went on, I thought to myself, what would my grandmother do? I have other bills on top of that.
