| Baseball Camps |
|
| Summer is in full swing! Kids need to stay active. Check your local newspaper for special camps for kids. Museums, Zoo's, Little League Baseball, Cinema, Tennis Associations, and Universities. They all have camp schedules posted in the newspaper or on their website. Check with your children's Day Care and Elementary School.
Teachers may provide educational camps to supplement lost income over the summer. Don't be afraid to ask for a discount if you enroll more than one child. Coordinate with other parents to help with car pooling.
Don't have the money to spend on camps in this tough economy? Call some of your friends and schedule a day at the park for kite flying, water balloon toss, or a picnic. Be creative - take turns with your friends watching the kids. Each of you will be able to have your hair done, or run to the store for milk and bread. No reason for kids to be bored. Summer fun is what it's all about for kids!

| When you think 'Green' are you thinking environment or 'Money''?
Most are thinking money. How can I save. Lot's of what if's..... It is everyone's hope that the economy will get back on track VERY SOON. It is not uncommon for people to wait and see during the transition from one President to another. Now that President Obama has warmed up the seat in the White House. We are still ... waiting to see the economy improve. Now they are indicating improvements will be seen by year end. Improvements can't come too soon.
People are worried about their jobs, their families, their homes. As a result, they are not buying the way they used to. Did you know, that even with all this happening. New parents will go on to spend nearly $12,000 on baby products for their newborn? The Juvenile Market continues to hold steady. Baby products continue to be purchased for over 4 million new births each year! Have you every heard of anyone canceling a baby shower due to the economy? Of course not. Moms' need this stuff to make her life easier for when the babies arrive. Babies need this stuff. It is a celebration of life that will continue no matter the circumstances. Knowing that, how can you save time and money.
Unemployment claims have hit a 26 year high according to the Wall Street Journal. Companies are shedding workers at an accelerating rate. Some in response to declining sales and others in anticipation of tougher times ahead. Lot of bad news for many. We are all just waiting for someone to tell us. It's going to be okay. Go ahead and plan that Spring Break trip. But that doesn't sell newspapers.
Life goes on. We adjust and grow stronger as a result. People are still buying at home improvement stores to plant spring bulbs, tune up the lawn mower etc., People are still buying food in grocery stores. Meals will be cooked, families will gather, all helping our economy. The spirit of America was tested with 9/11. We were brought to our knees. We all got up, dusted ourselves off, vowed never to forget the fallen, and grew stronger as a Country. The economy can only get better.
The difference between this year and many years past is families may buy a Washer instead of a car. A basketball instead of a video game. Economy changes, our spending habits change. Suddenly we find ourselves becoming frugal when it comes to every day purchases. It all adds up fast.
So, what can we do TO SAVE more money. Here are 50 ways to SAVE throughout the year for your family and children.

| Taking time for you... |
|
| Relaxation and time to reflect on your accomplishments as a wife, a friend, and as a mother is very important. Finding the right balance must begin with you!
How can you take care of others, if you don't take care of you? Just like in Church.... you drink from the cup first before you serve others. Invest in yourself. Don't be afraid to ask for help or simply say to your spouse; "Honey, please watch the kids for an hour, I'm going to go work out.... go for a walk.....go take a nap....etc.,"
Make time for you.
