I do try to stay away from excessively buying things for my adult children because I want them to learn to budget and stand on their own, but the fact is that 99% of my discretionary spending is on the grand kids! It's just fun and I have earned that right to buy cute things and see them enjoyed by the kids.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359404486512786477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2388099554377836695.post-86573061321441517072012-07-10T16:33:37.615-07:002012-07-10T16:33:37.615-07:00I thought I would add here what surprised me.

Retailers take notice! Also surprised by how many households included grandchildren.Connie Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14205026223697366069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2388099554377836695.post-55335862702390960682012-07-10T15:39:37.636-07:002012-07-10T15:39:37.636-07:00I was kinda surprised when I read the 10% tattoo b...I was kinda surprised when I read the 10% tattoo bit as a lot, I’m sure Lisa included that as kind of a fun fact; Lisa is a fun person :) But believe me, we all are not young and foolish when we get a tat :) My ears are also pierced. You bet I'll be back, enjoyed your blog. I hope you come back here and link up too.

Now I have to realize I am one of the oldest grandmoms at 75 so I must consider that grandparents are into the age group that would have gotten a tattoo in their teens or twenties where as I was never into the tattoo phase. I do have pierced ears however. Blog every day and love it. Come again.<br />QMMAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04721708092323894355noreply@blogger.com
