It was my six-year-old son’s winter break from school, and we were         home from Fort Lauderdale after a week-long trip.

But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.

I tell you this because there is no         in getting your money’s worth. Honestly, I’m also         when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people        . And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture.         lasts.
