Ways to Stretch Those Dollars to Feel Like You Have More Than You Think
By Claudette Chenevert on Jul 15, 2009 | In Stepfamilies, vacation | 2 feedbacks »
Stepfamilies are often in a bind when it comes to money. It's already tough to buy all that is needed when you're in a "traditional" family but when the same money that comes in needs to be divided to two different households, that's really hard and needs lots of creativitiy.
Often times, stepfamilies are starting over financially. The money that had been saved or accumulated in the past has now gone to pay for divorce bills and child support. Many times, little is left over to pay for any extras. Couples often complain about having fights and arguments about and over money. It creates lot of stress and tension not only for couples but for the children. They may feel that if they didn't ask for certain things, then the parents wouldn't fight so much.

Miami, Florida (updated)

Arrived in Florida. I just have a few things to say before I move on. People! I just need to let you know that while driving 22 THOUSAND POUNDS of moving metal, I will not be able to stop on short notice. So if you insist on cutting me off on the highway while driving at 65 miles an hour, I may not be able to brake in time and may squish you. I would have no other choice but to say "OH MY GOD!".
Now that I got this off my chest, I would love to say that I really love Florida. I really liked our campground called Everglades Campground in Miami. It's really in Homestead but technically in Miami. We are surrounded by farms or I should say plots of land that are used to grow home and garden plants, decorative palm trees and even a few mango and avocadoes groves.

I’m on the road again. My husband has the first driving shift and then it’s my turn. So I’m taking some time to catch up on what we’ve been up to so far.
Our campground in Yamessee was OK but not WOW! This was a KOA. Not much to do. The campground is clean and very wooded which is great in very hot days. We left early to visit Savannah, were we warmly greeted by Ted, a writer, educator, storyteller and our tour guide for the morning. The Savannah hospitality was immediately present as he warmly welcomed us to his hometown.
