What I Learned Over Spring Break

April 18, 2017 by not your average mom Leave a Comment

Last week was our spring break. It was the first spring break in about five years that we haven’t had major money problems. Where we weren’t in danger of losing our house, where the Man from CL&P wasn’t coming to knock on our door on an almost monthly basis, where we weren’t on food stamps, […]
