Quotes to ponder:
"Anyone can stir things together in a bowl. Take a day to make up a bunch of breakfast sandwiches and put them in the freezer so you don’t have to stop at the drive-thru on the way to work because you woke up late."
"Delay having children until you can afford them. Now I understand surprises happen, but there are ways to avoid these surprises."
"Don’t attend weddings for people you don’t believe will stay together."
