To Ipod or Not to Ipod

"Sure, you can have a $300 Ipod. How about a $400 Iphone instead?" you sarcastically ask your child while shopping at the mega tech store. That huge grin on her face turns upside down as soon as you finish your tone-charged question. But the real question on your mind is "shouldn't I be getting these expensive gadgets for myself first?" You are not a lone parent in this technological jungle, and certainly not the only parent to second guess yourself when it comes to getting these seemingly comm… Continue

I am a great supporter of volunteerism, and eking out time to give back to my community is an important part of my family’s life. Involving children in service clubs and community activities at an early age can help instill in them these altruistic values too. If you are a stay-at-home parent with a little time on your hands, t… Continue
