Grocery Spending Report: January 2023

TorrieUpdated on January 20, 2023January 20, 2023

Final Gender Reveal! We’re Having a…

TorrieJanuary 11, 2023January 10, 2023

Some women have a sixth sense about the gender of each of their babies (and often about the gender of other women’s babies, as well). I am not one of those women. For my first three children, I was 1 for 3 on predicting gender correctly. I thought my first was a boy (nope), my …
