All of our local schools participate in the Box Tops for Education program, as most around the country do. I always make sure to clip the box tops and place them in a container that I keep on my kitchen counter especially for them and then drop them off at the school on a regular basis. People would be amazed at the difference that the box tops can make in a school if we all worked together and turned in those box tops. With the start of school either already here or quickly approaching now is the perfect time to start saving those box tops.
While you´re out and about gathering up all of those much needed back-to-school supplies, be sure to stop at your local Kroger Family of Stores (which includes Kroger, Ralph´s, King Soopers, City Market, Dillons, Smith´s, Fry´s, QFC, Baker´s, Owen´s, Jay C Food Stores, Hilander, Gerbes, Food4Less, Pay Less Super Markets and Scott´s Food & Pharmacy) to take advantage of their “Add Up the Savings” Event and stock up on your favorite General Mills & Kimberly Clark brands From August 8 through August 21, when you buy 8 participating items from any Kroger store, you´ll receive $4 off of your purchase.

It is more important now than ever before to get a good education and grades play the biggest factor in determining your chances of getting into a good college or getting a good job. Erin secured a job this summer because of how hard she worked during the school year at college, keeping her grades up and being determined to be the best that she can be. Part of the application process for her job was to send in a copy of her college transcripts and that was a big factor in who they chose for the positions that they had available. We thought that she was going to need some Online Tutor help for one of her classes, but in the end she pulled it off. Did you know that you can get Free Online Tutoring? You can! So if you or one of your children needs a little help in one of their classes you should definitely look into it.
This year I know that I am going to have to get some Math help for Tate. He is at that age where it just keeps getting harder and harder…and Algebra is the worst for me. A Math Tutor may be the way for us to go. He has expressed an interest in going back to public schools but I am just not ready to take that step. Homeschooling vs. Public Schooling is a very controversial topic and is a very personal decision for every family, the reason we made that decision is very different from others and the reason it works for us is also very different. But this year, we are going to have to have some help like a Math Problem Solver.
I have talked to many other families that homeschool and many of them have stated that they use some sort of Online Math Tutor. Apparently it is the subject that most people need help with. If you are looking for a tutor service for yourself or your child you will want to choose a tutor service that provides high-quality one-on-one service. One that supplements education for all grade levels, from K-12 to college students, that way you have your bases covered for years to come. You also want it to be affordable and available for when you or your child NEEDS it, not during a pre-scheduled time that may not be convenient for you. Choosing Math Tutors Online is becoming a much more common practice these days. The curriculum for students is getting harder and more complex and if you are anything like me…most of it you have never even seen before, much less able to provide help with.

Do you remember being a kid and getting so excited to go to the Middle School just so you could have a locker? I always loved lockers. Yes, that may be weird but it is true. Several years ago I bought an old school locker at a garage sale for Tate’s room. Apparently he didn’t foster the same love for lockers that I did because one day I went in and all the screws had been removed and it was lying in pieces. Of course that was the way most things with screws were with him. Everything got dismantled with no discrimination involved.
The best lockers were the Gym Lockers. They were the biggest ones for some reason. I wish I could find a set of those lockers for sale. They would make a great storage unit in our game room.
But these….
Ohhh, a beautiful Wood Locker. These I would love to have as you come in the door for everyone to pile their crap precious possessions in. Instead of everything landing on the floor and table. Yep, I love lockers. Now you know my secret.
