Another school year is almost at a close. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be looking at curriculum choices for the next school year and posting an article about the debate raging over Virtual Charter Schools. Stay tuned for details. If you have something you’d like to add about a particular curriculum, please post under comments.
Living La Vida Frugal
Man are we sick of being on a budget lately. With rising gas costs and everything costing more at the grocery store, it seems like we’re working more and keeping less of it. Our girls are also getting older and want things like summer camp, which takes a big chunk out of the budget.
The best thing you can do to stick to a budget, and I’ve said this before, is to plan ahead. For example, I know that we have summer camp costs coming up, so I’ll begin by putting back 10.00 a week for the next couple of months. My oldest is also attending a purity conference next month, so we’ll have to make sure she has money for meals and extras.
Although you are still spending the same amount of money, it just doesn’t seem to hurt as much if you put back 10.00 or so for several months instead of coming up with 100.00 chunks of change. Try this method. I promise it works!
Review of Finding Ms. Right
I’m so excited about this latest review of my upcoming summer release Finding Ms. Right.
“Lori Soard has written a cute romance in Finding Ms. Right, and I mean “cute” in a very good sense. The story is charming. Both Jenna and Slade are likeable people, and the find themselves in humorous situations with things happening that seem to be out of their control. My only concern with the book is that with Slade’s wealth, he ought to at least have a housekeeper. We know right off he can’t keep a nanny. The story flows easily and is filled with tongue-in-cheek humor. If you are looking for a light, humorous read, this is it.”<BR><BR>Jeannine D.
