Here's the deal: I'm not a frivolous girl. I occasionally over-spend at Target (just one more pair of yoga pants won't break the bank) but tend to spend my cash wisely. Lovin' the deals at Marshall's, I might splurge on a great piece from Anthropologie now and again.
Food, we spend top dollar for. Heaven and earth opening up to swallow me might be the only way to put a halt to that.
And like every family, we budget and pinch and conserve where we can, putting more cash towards the kids and their sports/schools/dramatic productions than to luxury villas by the sea.
So when the hub told me that the car would be going in to get a few things fixed, I thought OK, no biggee. It turns out that beyond an oil change and fan blower adjustment, he had the cruise control fixed. To the tune of $700.

I can't tell you how many times I was tempted to test that theory! How has your wardrobe changed since becoming a mom?
