I've been hearing about married couples that have separate bank accounts and whatever they make go into their own account. They consider it "their" money? I'm not sure what I think about that. My husband and I share our accounts....

amaleigh73 I joke about that too. . .what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine. . .but I don't really think that. I think it is so important to trust each other with spending habits. Anything over $50 we both have to agree on. I heard a good rule to follow. If an item...

amaleigh73 I also have a separate account for my home based business. That is mainly for convenience of not having to figure things out for tax purposes at the end of the year. Makes things easier :-)

Some of the school districts in our area offer all day kindergarten. For one of them it is the only option. For the other one you can choose half day or all day. I have mixed feelings on all day kindergarten - I don't think it...

amaleigh73 Thanks for your response! It is nice to hear a teacher's perspective. My daughter didn't go to daycare (she will start pre-school two days a week this fall), but I know she would do well in all day kindergarten next year.

Do you ever post a discussion on a touchy or controversial topic because you think it will get you more responses, thus more money? Not that you have any real interest in the subject, you just think people will pounce on your...

amaleigh73 Sometimes it takes me several days to get through my responses to my discussions. I definitely care and am interested in the responses I get or else I wouldn't bother. Some days I don't have any ideas of things to post - so I just respond to others...

amaleigh73 I must have missed that post on Paris Hilton - I would have said "no" - she doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. People get arrested and sentenced to jail every day. Why should she matter? I know, she is "famous" but I certainly don't consider...

When I was pregnant with my son (first baby), I heard the song "I Love You Up to the Moon". It was from a lullaby CD sung by Kathie Lee Gifford. It made me cry because, at the time, I couldn't imagine loving someone that much. It...

amaleigh73 Cherish each moment - they grow up so fast! It is a simple song, but says everything it needs to say, right?!?!

amaleigh73 The unconditional love we have for our children is priceless. There is nothing like the love of a child and for a child.

amaleigh73 I finally found the little gift book/CD set of "I Hope You Dance". I hope to give it to her someday - whether it is for graduation or her wedding. Thanks for commenting!

amaleigh73 I wasn't necessarily suggesting giving them "extra" iron. Just being aware if there is enough iron in their diet. I know that too much iron isn't good for them as much as not getting enough.

I cannot believe all of the commotion made over this book and character. In our newspaper last Sunday - the very front page of the main section of the paper was all about Harry Potter. That is ridiculous! There are so many other...

amaleigh73 We do not believe in magic in our household. Imagination is great for children to have, but I don't think that unrealistic fantasy is always good for a child (which, in my opinion, is found in some video games, movies and books like Harry Potter). I guess as...

amaleigh73 If I don't want my children to read a book full of casting spells and witchcraft, then that is my choice. There are so many other great books out there, why allow them to read something that I just don't think is necessary. I know there is friendship, bravery...

Before we got our cat, we sat the children down and told them what each of their jobs would be pertaining to the cat. If they did their jobs, we would pay for the litter and food (because they were earning it by doing their jobs)....

amaleigh73 Well, no one in my house is pregnant, so we are ok there. My son is very careful and the first thing he does when he is finished is wash his hands and arms. We do supervise their chores with the cat. When it comes time to completely change the litter in the...

amaleigh73 I have to say that I do not agree with you. But that is ok. . .you have your opinion. I know that my children are able to handle the responsibilities that we gave them for the cat because they did it for several months. They have just gotten forgetful. We do...
