piggy

Before Ransom and I even met, Lindsey and I were walking around Target. We have a fettish for tacky things. I usually am not into tutus and jewels, but it was just perfectly tacky that I had to have it! Luckily after I married Ransom he let me keep it!

Most parents are worried that their kid will put change in their mouth if it's laying around. As soon as Conrad sees change he gets a huge grin on his face, says "piggy" and runs to our room. We save our piggy change up and buy the bigger "luxurious" things we need that usually don't fit into our budget. This last time the change went to buy Conrad's big boy bed and we had $10 to spare! Hopefully this will teach Conrad to be better at saving money than I was when I was younger. -Katie

Still surprised that you have that tacky pig... but it is growing on me. You have become quite the saver. I am proud of you!

that's super impressive that you have enough money in your piggy to buy a bed!! is your 2nd pregnancy going better than the 1st??

Great idea about saving your change and getting Conrad in on it. A friend of mine (Rena) only uses dollar bills when paying for things and saves all the change...You can save quite a bit! Love your piggy bank♥
