Kristina - that is one cool blog!
Great to read - lot's of good tips, and while some of them are obviously relevant to your local environment, a lot are universal I think (and a lot are common sense, but we all need help getting that into perspective when we have our girly heads on!) - and I'm with you on thrift shops girl! :D We call them charity shops here in the UK, and I've picked up most of my wardrobe at bargain prices.... Between those and eBay I'd be on my way to insolvency rapidly if I got out more!
I'll say it again - it's a great read... You're open, honest, and the super person that you are comes across really well. Not to forget a mention of your obviously darling wife too... I find it genuinely inspiring.
Thanks for sharing Kristina - it takes not a little courage to do that honestly.
