Frugal Friday – 42
We recently started doing a weekly chore board of activities for Ava. If/when she completes all her tasks she gets an allowance (of $5). Perhaps she is slowly starting to understand the value of a dollar, but she was incredibly patient to add two weeks of savings up because she has been wanting a magnifying glass for forever! And she got one last week. 🙂

- Should I Wear a Mask During My Job Interview?
- I have been wanting to take the kids to a peaceful Black Lives Matter protest but couldn’t quite figure out the logistics and placating Tommy’s concern about safety (remember, Helicopter Dad), so it was just perfect that we stumbled on one in Annapolis on Sunday!


- The Inescapable Pressure of Being a Woman on Zoom
- I attended my first virtual baby shower for my friend Tammy who lives in California (the same Tammy from my 14th Street Dinner series). It was a really cute shower. The icing on the cake was an electronic gift card for Starbucks I received this morning for attending. 🙂
