Mothers are such very wise people! As a matter of fact, I believe I've taught a few of those to my own children!

This is a timely post for me, my wife has taken my daughter out to one of the huge outlet malls here in Orlando.

My wife will be teaching her how to melt credit cards by shopping.

It is so true that we become our mother's. In my case, I am grateful as she is such a wise woman and what she taught us all has carried me through so much in life. I am forever grateful to her.
