The Morning High-Five NOTE: This is a system that we've been using over the last few summers and it's worked really well. I know that most of us (and our kids) have been home for several weeks now and probably have some semblance of a routine going with school work. But I still feel that summer will require a reshuffling of routines and schedules AGAIN. Hopefully this helps you wrap your brain around what summer will look like for your family! I have a love/hate relationship with summer. I love that we're free to do what we want, but I strongly dislike that we always end up sitting around doing nothing.

Is Budgeting Really Worth It?
Several years ago my husband and I were in the height of financial distress. We had been married for eight years, had no children and we both worked. So we felt that we had enough money to cover not only the things that we needed, but also the things that we wanted without worrying about a negative financial impact. This thinking, however, had slowly begun to dig us deeper and deeper into debt, so deep that we were not able to make dents in our existing debt as we continually added to it. What jolted us into action was the unexpected news of a baby and that in less than nine months we would be down to one income. We began to make small changes Keep Reading
