<p>There’s something to be said for raising your <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/FAMILY/PARENTABC/" target="_blank">kids </a>on a daily basis and that’s what I’m working on doing. A few years back  my husband and I made the tough decision for me to quit my job and it’s  been really nice, actually, since we’re able to have me watch the kids  all day while he works. I love him to death but I wish he made a bit  more money only because our life has changed dramatically in the last  few years. We’ve not cut back on certain things like <a href="http://www.homesecurityfamily.com/adt/alarm-systems.php">home alarm systems</a> and the organic produce we like to buy but others like trash pickup and  things like that had to go to make room for our new lifestyle. I don’t  feel bad about it though because it means I get to be with the kids and  do what I like to do which just makes me feel good about how I’m living  my life. I know the kids appreciate being able to have their mom around!</p>

<p>Having a house is  great. I love having a garage to park in, I love having separate room  for my office and my husband’s “man cave.” I really love having a fenced  in backyard for our dog and cat. I don’t love worrying about burglary,  or fire, or <a href="http://www.10news.com/news/29731352/detail.html">flood</a>.  Life was most definitely a lot easier before I had any of these  responsibilities. It’s funny that I so completely ignored my parents  when they cautioned me to enjoy my “responsibility free” life when I was  younger. I’m sure I’ll pass the same advice on to my future children,  and I’m sure they will ignore it, just as I did. The one thing that  saves my sanity is having a <a href="http://www.homesecurityfamily.com/about-adt.php">adt</a>.  This service allows me to worry at least a little less. I know my house  is being monitored even in the event that I’m away when disaster  strikes. While it obviously can’t prevent a fire, the service can ensure  that the proper authorities are contacted when necessary. This is  definitely another piece of advice I’ll pass on to my children—sign up  for an alarm monitoring service!</p>
