Spring Cleaning Can Put Change into Your Pocket
I met Kara at one of the Midland MOPS (Mother of Preschoolers) meetings. She was our guest speaker and she gave tips on staying organized in a realistic way. I was thoroughly impressed with her approach. Wait, the magazine ads and tv shows are NOT what I strive for? I had been jaded by media […]
