If everything goes as planned, we’ll be sending our oldest off to college in less than 10 months. We’re currently knee deep in the college application process, so college (an all of the expenses that go along with it!) are forefront in our minds. That wasn’t the case 10 years ago.

This post brought to you by The Orkin Ecologist. All opinions are 100% mine. October seems to be pest season in our house. From the bee that I caught at the bottom of my basement stairs to all of the creepy, crawly spiders that have been scurrying across my floors, I'm not too happy about…
