Summer Ideas for Girls and Boys
I know that it is just now time for Spring Break but I am already thinking ahead to summer. My son really enjoys some of the local sports camps but my daughter is just not into them. She is in elementary school and loves art and nature. Do you have any suggestions on camps that […]
School Schedules
Do you have any idea when the new school year will start? I am trying to make vacation plans and have heard that the school calendar is already set but I cannot find it anywhere. I would love to wait until the first week in August to travel but I am just not sure that […]
Weather Driving You Nuts?

Better Boys and Early Girls
All of this snow and cold weather has me ready for spring and I am starting to plan my very first garden. I love tomatoes and was wondering what the difference is between Better Boys and Early Girl tomatoes? Both Better Boys and Early Girls are considered slicing tomatoes and both are good for home […]
Problem Nail Ridges
I have recently noticed that I have some small ridges running up and down on my thumb nails. Is this common and what can I do to get rid of them? According to experts, ridges running up and down are more common than those that run across the nail and can often be attributed to […]
More Snow?
I have been seeing a model on facebook that shows a really big snow storm coming this way next weekend. Is that a real model or is it another fake that is just going around? According to weather sources, it is one of many models that are being considered in the long range forecast. The […]
Extreme Cold & School Days
I have been seriously concerned about the students that are waiting on the bus on these cold mornings. I know that many parents are worried that the kids will have to go to school on Saturdays or miss out on Spring Break if we miss too many days. Is there any way to get the […]
Too Early For Seedlings
I am feeling the winter blues and am longing for spring. I am really looking forward to planting a garden this year and would like to go ahead a plant some seedlings but I have never started a garden from seeds before. Is it too early to start now? Though I can sympathize with longing […]

FAFSA and Taxes

Where to buy postage stamps
I was wondering if you have any idea where I can purchase postage stamps besides the post office? The line is often very long and there are never any stamps in the machine in the lobby. Assuming that you are wishing to purchase stamps for mailing purposes rather than collecting, there are other options. According […]
Stumped!
I am stumped this year. My nephew has a huge stocking that my Mom made him and we always fill it for Christmas Eve. The problem is that, now that he is a teenager, it is getting harder. I have been racking my brain to come up with a way to fill the thing without […]
Why the change in School Schedule?
It is my understanding that school will be a full day on the Friday before Christmas this year. The last day has always been a half day and I was wondering why the change this year? There has been a renewed commitment to teach bell to bell this year, which is important to allow for […]
Flocking A Christmas Tree
We are putting up our tree this week and I am wondering how to get a real tree flocked. When we were younger, I lived in a large city and we ordered the tree from the florist flocked. I haven’t seen any real flocked trees around here but would like some advice on where to […]
Leftovers
My family is traveling to my parents’ house for Thanksgiving and we are really looking forward to the trip. There is, however, one annual point of argument. My Mom is old school and believes that it is fine to leave leftovers in the oven for several hours before storing the food. I am afraid for […]
