  • Freezer Meals Save Money

    It's 5 p.m. and you haven't given dinner a thought. What can you throw together?

    The neighbor just called. Suzie, the young mother down the street, just had her second baby. The neighbors are organizing meals this week. Could you provide a meal tomorrow evening?

    A new family just moved in across the street. You'd love to go meet them, but you'd really like to bake them something first. You don't really have the time to today, though. What do you do?

  • Kids Activities

    Parents often ask me, as a former piano teacher, when they should begin their child in piano lessons. When I recommend no earlier than second grade, they are amazed.

    Part of my answer comes from my experience teaching young children and finding that second grade is the earliest most children have the ability to sit still to practice and have the reading abilities that allow them to read music.
