The Economics Of First Grade

September 16, 2008 By Blonde Mom 6 Comments

Mommy, my friend S doesn’t have any money. She needs her friends to give her some.

What?

She needs money! She says she doesn’t have any money. We need to give her some.

I think she needs to talk to her mommy and daddy about that. She doesn’t need to be asking her friends for money.

Well, she says she has plenty of food and toys, but she just doesn’t have any money.

Well, we’re not giving her any money, OK? (By now I’m thinking WTF?) Maybe she can talk to her mommy and daddy about doing some chores and earning an allowance.

I think this request trumps the little curly headed boy sending his phone number home with her last year in her Disney Princess backpack and then asking Miss C to ask me to call his mom so they could play together.

Who knew 5 and 6-year-olds could be so forward?

Have you visited my blog alter ego, Savvy Housewife, lately?

I’m tickled to announce that Tiny Tag Designs, which features beautiful, understated silver personalized bracelets and necklaces, is my first advertiser to run an ad on both my blogs. Check out the sidebar ad for a 20 percent discount code and click through to order a few early Christmas presents, or a gift for yourself. I have the 16-inch chain necklace with my girls’ names hand-stamped on the silver discs and I get tons of compliments on it. The ad for Tiny Tag Designs runs through next Wednesday.

Do your kids play fall sports? I’ve got a great giveaway at Savvy Housewife for a value pack (one case each of three flavors) of Nui Kid Water.

I have a discount code for Tees for Change, a great line of eco-friendly and inspirational t-shirts founded by mompreneur Andreea Ayers. They also sell cute 100 % cotton organic onesies for the little tree huggers in your life.

Mondays are giveaway days at Savvy Housewife and I’ve got giveaways planned for a children’s book from Barefoot Books, an America At Home custom cover photography book, and a prize pack from Quaker granola bars, so be a sweetheart and subscribe to the RSS feed.

And have a great weekend, OK? The weather has finally cooled off here, just in time for the girls’ first minor league baseball game tonight, and we’re getting ready for first grade next week. Be still my mama’s heart.
