Three kids on one blue-collar income was tight, but I wouldn't trade my brother for all the name-brand clothes in the world.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537440735435962257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873036011530033335.post-10550787380129482092009-07-24T02:41:09.635-04:002009-07-24T02:41:09.635-04:00very very true. they ARE heroes already.

I bet your family spent more on food than mine too--save money and have midget children. :) There definitely seems to be a mindset in our society that you need a certain high standard of living to afford children, but so many extras are unnecessary...Rebecca, A Clothes Horsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224914134360638396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873036011530033335.post-24227340498062696222009-07-22T16:17:12.342-04:002009-07-22T16:17:12.342-04:00I can only afford two cats!I can only afford two cats!Lenore Appelhanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664671644163369772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873036011530033335.post-66914646981165112132009-07-22T04:32:57.106-04:002009-07-22T04:32:57.106-04:00Aww!
