Pony mom...I also struggle with the guilt of knowing how much I spent on something. Grrrr.... However, that has helped me tremendously in some ways because it makes me think more carefully about purchases. Have you found that to be the case as well? When I'm thinking of purchasing something, I do that thing where I must either LOVE it, use it regularly or need (basic living stuff) it....if it doesn't fit into once of these categories, it doesn't come in my house.
