Piecing together ways to save money, protect the environment, and keep kosher.
This summer is the first in a while that I have had all the kids home with virtually no camp. Since I am back to full-time teaching and am off during the summer, it doesn't make financial sense to the send the kids to camp. So this year, it is "Camp Mommy." I have been... Continue Reading →
