Preschool: Decision Made

One Frugal Girl — Mon, 28 Apr 2014 22:32:43 +0000

Last week I made the decision to visit the co-op preschool one last time. My husband told me that it would be a big waste of time, (he has been voting for the traditional preschool since January), but I wanted to make peace with my decision once and for all. I also wanted to meet the woman ... Read more

Believe it or not I still haven’t settled on a preschool for my son. I began contemplating the preschool versus no-preschool option at the end of last year and visited a few open houses in January.

I’m totally hooked on the brain games at Luminosity, but my trial subscription ran out and I really don’t want to pay $14.95 to play for another month. My husband and I own a Wii and a Play Station 3, so I poked around at games I could purchase, but I really don’t know one ... Read more

I just got back from my first paid meditation class of the summer. I participated in a free class a few weeks ago, with the same instructor, and enjoyed the course so much that I paid $65 tonight for a four course series.
