Back to School Transition
The Editor's Desk - From Beneath the Clutter
Let's see... daughter's school has started... check. Son back in speech therapy... check. Preschool program for son... umm, still working on that one. I may yet get it taken care of, though. He really needs the social time, much more so than the educational time.
It's a bit of an adjustment having school back in session. I was so much hoping to have my son in preschool this year through the school district, but that just wasn't to be. So now I'm checking out an alternative a friend suggested to see if I like the idea. It will be more tiring for me on the days I have to participate, but having the quiet time would be quite the treat. And of course the time with other kids around his age would do my son a world of good, I think.

Three Tips to Transition Your Family Back to School
You know what time of year this is, back to school! Even if you don't have children or your children are grown, there is a shift that occurs as fall arrives. There is a bit of anticipation, a sense of something about to occur, a quickening of pace. For many of us as fall arrives our schedule fills and we are on the go with little time to slow down and reflect.

Online Social Life
The Editor's Desk - From Beneath the Clutter
Yesteday was the big day. My husband started his new job. Pretty exciting/relieving stuff there.
I don't think the kids have recognized the difference yet. At the very least they were behaving pretty normally yesterday. Have to see what the next few days bring.

Frugal Shopping
The Editor's Desk - From Beneath the Clutter
Ah, one more week until my husband starts his job. Two more until school starts.
Should be interesting to see how the kids cope. My son was so mad when Daddy started staying at home all the time, but he loved it when his sister was suddenly more available to play when school got out. Now both of those will be changing in short order.

Frugal Shopping - How to Keep the Money You Earn
Frugal shopping can make your dollar go further and will help you to live within your means. When you implement these smart shopping tips, don't think of them as deprivation; instead think of your frugal shopping strategies as a challenge to fight the marketing strategies that separate you from your money.
