Slowing Down
A single mom's life is hard, stressful and sometimes unrewarding. See for the longest my daughter and I have been very busy and very active. She was doing dance 3 or more days a week, a part of a scout group twice a month, art classes, some other things I just can't remember at the moment and working events and party's every weekend. 
I found that on a single persons income it is hard to keep up all these activities in the financial sense. My daughter loved to dance, it was her life. But she came to a decision that she would rather go on outings with her money rather than spending it all on dance. So yep my daughter quit dance. This was her last dance competition that she attended. The group got a 2nd place trophy for their efforts.
So we took the time to slow down. We have not done any party's and events with our Happy House Paparazzi Jewelry in quite some time. We took the time to relax for the winter of 2015 and we did some spring cleaning around the house. Got some projects finished. I even had gotten rid of her chickens to give me a break from taking care of the farm animals. Well there is only so much you can do on a one person income and one person house duties. So we took a couple of day trips that really didn't cost us anything except the gas. But then there are the trips my daughter wants to take. Well it's been a year or so since she quit dance. That is the part that feels unrewarding to her. We haven't done any of her trips.
