Good for you that you can study the things that you like. It seems that I was always cash strapped back then. Now, I try my best with the kids.
I know what you mean. Thankfully I receive financial aid so I’m able to afford college! But honestly there are a lot of ways to educate yourself online too, that aren’t so over-priced. Try out Lynda.com! It sounds like your kids have the best mom!! <3
Wow! You’re amazing, your dedication and discipline to excel in both school and your business is very inspiring! I hope that you have an equally amazing 2019!! I think that I will re-cap my year in 2020 for my blog! 🙂

It wasn’t a bad year for you. You’ve got so many things going on. Hoping this year would be the same if not even greater.
Thank you so much! Wishing the same for you 🙂
