First Post/Intro

-
Updated at end 3-5-18 Hello! My name is Christi Lee. My husband is Joey, and I'm a stay-at-home mom to a beautiful, intelligent, two year old girl (M), with a baby boy on the way (E)! He's due November 20 - it's hard to believe that's exactly ONE MONTH AWAY from today. Holy moly, we're going to be parents of TWO before we know it!

However, few are important than choosing how to educate your child. If you are struggling with this, you are not alone.

How to Stop Eating Out in Five Simple Steps

-
Image
It seems almost second nature in our busy lives to grab a quick bite to eat while we're away from the house. It can be harmless enough; fast food places usually cost less than $10 per person, and if it's a once-in-a-while treat, it's probably no big deal. When it turns into a habit, however, it can become a big problem. Even if that $30 quick lunch for your family is only once per week, in one year, that adds up to more than $1500! Crazy, right?
