Family Budget and Savings
By Michelle P. Sharrow, MBA
Homemade Gift Ideas Under $10, Christmas Decorating ideas and more!
In these difficult economic times, finding the "perfect" present on a "not-so-perfect" budget can be a difficult task. But with a little creativity, you can make wonderful, homemade presents that look like a million bucks! These gifts are inexpensive, easy to make, and thoughtful.
While some pundits compare our economic climate to those suffered at other times during our history, I disagree...

Most people need life insurance. Generally speaking, if you have people relying on your income, you need life insurance. The primary purpose of life insurance is to replace a person's income in the event of their death. Life insurance can also be a useful tool in other circumstances, such as estate planning or business succession planning.

Holidays
It was the eighth Christmas of my life. The only item on my wishlist was for a red wagon. We lived comfortably, but I knew I didn't get everything I asked for....With the holiday season now officially in full swing, it's time to think of the gifts to buy for your loved ones. It doesn't matter what holiday you celebrate, gift-giving is universal this time of year.
All year long, the #1 misunderstanding between men and women is assuming that what we need and want is what our partners need and want as well. Our natural impulse is to give what we'd like to receive. This is never more apparent than during holiday shopping sprees.

The phrase "No, it's not your time/turn," can be a healthy parental phrase! And at this time of the season, we can reflect and act on many ways to teach our children about sharing.<
If you believe that your child has the tendency to bully others physically, verbally, or emotionally, take heart --- you can make changes that can influence your child's behavior.
It is normal to get busy during the holidays. There is food to be cooked, there are gifts to be wrapped, and if you are traveling, there are plenty of arrangements to be made. Sadly, during these busy days we forget to frequently what the holidays are really about: family.
Access to qualified and experienced counselors from the privacy of your own home. Whether you prefer a single session to discuss an immediate concern, or you'd like to schedule a regular weekly meeting for a more intense program of support, our online therapists are flexible when it comes to meeting your needs.

Book and Movie Reviews
Although the holiday season is busy, there are days when the kids get bored. It can be especially hard when the weather is bad and they would rather be outside playing sports. If you are looking for a way to keep the kids from tossing a baseball in the house or using your fireplace as a soccer goal, try a family friendly sports-related movie.This is a perfect book for any Christian parent you might have on your holiday shopping list this year. Moreover, parents who have daily quiet times with their teens are going to find fodder in this book to last the better part of six months or more.
Home and Garden
Can you believe Christmas is right around the corner? It's my favorite holiday so I look forward to Christmas all year long. I look forward to it so much that my tree is usually the first one in the neighborhood to go up.Pets
