    Welcome to the village. Can I ask what part of Iowa do you live in? And as for childcare cost most places have assistance you can get to help with that. Hope you love it here.

    I'm in Cedar Rapids. Due to many things we do not qualify for assistance, not only that but it's hard to justify sending 3 kids to daycare!

    Welcome to the village from a fellow Iowan!
    I'm a DM metro gal myself. We're also struggling with daycare right now.
