@June08 and @wildflowerchild25, such good news in your posts. Congrats on these achievements! Wildflower, I think there are many like your mom. My brother was like her. I know it's one thing to be "carefree", if that's the right word to use, but another to be neglectful of primary duties in life. My husband does most of such tasks on my behalf. When we were first married, he used to say I was neglectful, but that was way too harsh. Maybe I forgot a credit card bill once. If I was on my own, my solution would be to Simplify, Simplify, Simplify. I'm frugal, so that's helpful, too.

HALLIEBETH, I buy a few expensive beauty supplies, too, but they also last. In the end, such supplies are worth it if it keeps our skin healthy and youthful
