And You Will

Dear “And You Will Have Kids”,

A distant relative of my husband’s recently passed away.  Our children did not really know this relative, but I know that other relatives will be there. They have asked us to attend, along with the children.

 I am not sure whether or not to take my children.  When is it appropriate to take children to a funeral?

Winter Break will be over soon, and it will be time to start a new semester at your college or university.  A new semester, like the New Year, is often a time for students to start fresh and to make academic resolutions.

Here are some tips for approaching your new classes to ensure those resolutions stick.

Saving money when you are raising children is a difficult thing to do.  It is possible however.  One way you can save money almost effortlessly is by changing your shopping day and the time you shop!

Some stores offer discounts if you shop on a certain day of the week.  One of our local gas stations offers a 5 cent discount if you purchase gasoline on a Thursday.  Although gas isn’t as expensive as it was this summer, it is still great to be able to save money on your purchases.  Another gas station offers a 10 cent discount per gallon if you purchase gasoline between 4pm and 7pm each day.
