I'm lucky enough that neither of my kids ever attended a daycare. they still have grandparents that are around, and even great grandparents that help out as well. I know not everyone is that lucky, so I make sure to say "thanks" whenever I can. <br />I had gone a lot lighter last March and liked it for the most part, but it made my hair SO unhealthy (which I knew it would before I did it). So, a couple of months ago, I decided to go darker, but with hombre... big mistake. The guy screwed it all up, I had this great big line across my hair and I hated it. SO I called my other hair lady and she toned it to more of a normal brown... it turned ashy on me. *sigh* I've been living with it, but mostly because i dont' want to over process too much. BUT! I've got an appointment for tomorrow and I'm going with a SAra Rue red color... I'm so excited! I haven't been a red-head since I was in Cosmetology school 10 years ago! Good luck with the color change! Can't wait for the Vlog to see it!

I work full time and my oldest goes to regular school (kindergarten) then after school care, and my youngest (1 1/2) goes to daycare. It is expensive but not horrible. When I just had one, she was at a in-home center, but you know that came back to bite me in the ass when the daycare provider would be sick. She would call me that morning and that just wasn't enough notice. I moved her to a local daycare by the house and loved it. Then when #2 came along they were in daycare for just one year together. It definitely was tight that is for sure. But worth it because of their ages, the oldest was in prek and the I wanted her to be in the same spot as her sister. Its definitely a battle of a decision to make. Good luck!

Let them do a worksheet or two a day, give them so many hours of tv a day, or on an electronic device for entertainment. Take it day by day and you'll find fun ways to keep them entertained that doesnt involve a television.

(I get paid $15 an hour to watch 2 kids babysitting so... yeah). Anyway, one day I was in the office and I came across the tuition plan. When I saw that kids in my class (the price is different for different age classes) paid $2200 a month to go there I was so pissed. Seriously? You pay me chunk change and ONE KID is paying $2200. I know overhead for daycares is high because of insurance but commmeeee on. It made me realize I should own a daycare, not work at one.Jacquelyn @justjacqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15969922596350549484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091379517110428720.post-81849248272362983332014-03-11T07:45:36.508-07:002014-03-11T07:45:36.508-07:00Both of mine are in daycare, well one is just afte...Both of mine are in daycare, well one is just afterschool and one toddler.

It was amazing and I didn't realize how so until we moved to Northern VA where daycare was over 300/week! Can I tell you how happy my wallet was when they finally got to public school???
