My husband and I would like to live BELOW our means. I just got three books about it from Ebay. There are some great tips - like using your dishwasher only in the evening - because peak usage is during the day so rates are lower...

kellyanna_99 Yes, we had the review done. We had some hints from our home inspection that we would need to do some work, but w didn't figure we were so energy inefficient! Our gas payments per month were $700 through Dec-March...that was a shock! We knew things like the...

My 4 year old does. It is so hard to understand him. He had his ears checked so he doesn't have a hearing problem. He still points to stuff he wants or brings the item to me because he can't say what it is. I send him to a...

kellyanna_99 Thanks for answering my question. I have wondered about that. Youe hear about the one child policy from time to time (in school, or in the media at times), but it interesting to see how it works from someone who experiences it.

Children are always lovable. I have a boy 3 years old, and I love him. However, my wife and I don't want to have another kid any more. It takes so much to bring a kid, and we have not the ability to bring up one more kid. How many...

A few weeks after giving birth to my first child, I really have this feeling of depression. I don't know why. I feel so alone, as if I have all by myself who will take care of my baby. I feel that the people around me are not so...

kellyanna_99 That just seems sad to me. I'm sorry you can't have more. How do they enforce the policy, if you don't mind me asking? Are people fined for having more then one? I have 4 kids and I can't imagine having one (actually, I never did, I started out with...

kellyanna_99 I usually go to bed between 12 and 3 am. I have insomnia, plus an infant I'm nursing, so my sleep is sporadic at best. I've tried different things to help me sleep and not a lot has helped. I come from a family of insomniacs (both my parents, and brothers are...

kellyanna_99 I think that is the "old school" way of thinking when c-sections were down with the vertical incision. I think it depends on your experience, you situation, your doctor's policy, etc. It really seems to be highly individualized. I've had three c-sections...
