Crazy expensive indeed! That's what I get for having kiddos so close together in age. Lots of luck! Let me know if I can help!

I wouldn't do it all the time but I'm sure I'll do it occasionally. Children just don't always make the best decisions. Privacy is nice and all but children don't enjoy the same level of privacy as adults in our constitution so it's a matter of preference really. I know I'll feel sneaky but...

I started my bachelors in 1989 and finally finished it in 2008 when my son was just over a year. I started my masters the next year when the kids were 2 and just under 1. The academic portion of the program was 1 day a week from 8am to 2:45 and I had a week to complete assignments. It was...
