When I was young I dreamed of having children. I wanted a boy then a girl. I met my husband in 1195 and we had our first child in 1997. It just so happen to be a boy. What I remember about that time frame is moving into a house at $450 a month which was the tip top of our budget. It wasn’t long before we found ourselves struggling financially with a new baby.
We couldn’t afford the high priced baby items. While other has battery operated swings we had the crank style swing because it was only $15. I bought many of my son’s clothing and items at consignment shops. What I couldn’t buy there was his formula. Formula and diapers were necessity but a high priced one. If only I new about Well Beginnings exclusively at Walgreens.
