Would love to hear more about the first part of the trip: how they got to $15k per month. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Great :) My house is kind of dirty, have any advice on how to find a good cleaner outside of the NYC area?
Good read. I recently became a father and suddenly the need for hiring baby sitters,nannies, house cleaners is critical and like the blog says "it is not rocket science but not as easy as ordering book on amazon", I totally concur.
