My husband and I would like to live BELOW our means. I just got three books about it from Ebay. There are some great tips - like using your dishwasher only in the evening - because peak usage is during the day so rates are lower...

Do you have a big family with lots of kids?

I only have one child, but I hope to have more someday. My whole life, I've dreamt & daydreamt of having five or more children. I think it would be so much fun to have a big family! So much to do, and all the kids would have...

kellyanna_99 Thanks for answering my question. I have wondered about that. Youe hear about the one child policy from time to time (in school, or in the media at times), but it interesting to see how it works from someone who experiences it.

kellyanna_99 I want to second creematee's post. I have so been there as well, and you are NOT alone. I was like that after the birth of each of my kids and have had to go on medications for PPD twice. It made such a difference. Also, sleeping when baby sleeps is huge! Ask...

kellyanna_99 That just seems sad to me. I'm sorry you can't have more. How do they enforce the policy, if you don't mind me asking? Are people fined for having more then one? I have 4 kids and I can't imagine having one (actually, I never did, I started out with...
