Most school systems and colleges either kicked off this past week or will start in just a few days. This time of year can be quite difficult for college students, parents, and children in school. It’s easy to either focus too much on school work and render everything else non-existent or do the exact opposite – not focus on school at all. It’s a tricky situation to say the least but there are certainly methods to ensure an equal balance of school and everything else.
What tactics do you use to balance your life when school is in the mix? Is it easier or more difficult to keep your family on schedule and moving?

As summer is coming to an end, I’d like to take some time to reflect on all of the summer fun that was had. I know that I did a lot of activities that were quite enjoyable and cost next to nothing (tennis, kayaking, cookouts, etc.) but I’d like to hear about what you did. This week’s question:
What low budget summer activities did you participate in? How did the low budget activities compare to the activities that cost a bit more?
Be sure to share what you did and how it turned out in the comments below. Look for a similar question as fall approaches…

There has been a lot of talk lately about the renewing of bartering and trading circles, or as some call it, “You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours.” It’s a fundamental concept – the trade of services or goods that will be mutually beneficial to all parties involved. That being said, here is this week’s questions:
Have you ever considered bartering or trading goods/services? If so, what would you trade/need?
Look for some articles in the future about this topic. It’s pretty amazing how people can just be satisfied with the goods and services of other people!

If you’ve been anywhere on the Internet, you have probably been offered a “sweet deal” for just taking a survey or for writing a short blurb about something. Chances are, you were duped or had to jump through a million legal hopps in order to get your prize. Well, there are some sites out there that actually do pay you to take surveys, do searches, and write excerpts on this or that topic. My question today: Are you a member of any sites like this? What sites have you found to be legit? To be a scam? Leave a comment below and let us know your thoughts. I’ll report the results later this week.
