It’s hard to know exactly what kids want for gifts or special presents. I’ve tried giving clothes and that doesn’t seem to be it. I once gave my kid school supplies for her birthday and she wasn’t very pleased. Kids don’t even care about the effort we put into giving them all those nutritious dinners on the table. I’m guessing that the only thing they really care about is the favorite toys they play with. I wish we could just give them toys without thinking about the really i...

In the past, I had trouble naming one specific favorite food of mine. Today though, I tend to love pizza best. However, for those who have trouble answering this question I think it is fair to say that they can at least point out a broader area of cuisine they prefer, such as Italian, Mexican, American…you get the idea. In our society today, we are fortunate to have a vast array of food choices before us, which makes it all the more easier finding a great place to eat out....

Nowadays, can anyone live without electricity? Me neither. If the power goes out for even a short time, it’s pandemonium around our house. No television, no microwave, no dishwasher, no dryer, no stove, no hot water. How will we survive? How will you? If you have a generator, you may never have to find out. Portable and permanent are the two basic types of generators. The names say it all. Portable generators can be carried with you, and permanent generators are just that ...

As a parent, deciding what to teach kids in preparation for kindergarten can be a great challenge. Educational or learning games can help parents by providing a resource for them to teach children the necessary skills needed to begin kindergarten. These educational games and activities can be both fun and challengin...

The biggest obstacle most parents, or parents to be, will run up against when deciding on a car seat is the fact that there are so many different ones to choose from. Car seats are sold by a wide range of manufactures and within many different price ranges. The variety of choice is so great it can leave parents mind numbingly lost and unable to make a decision. However, by breaking the problem down and simplifying it, the purchase of a car seat becomes a task that is not a...

Not too long ago, the words “auto manufacturer” meant dealing with the “Big Three” – the American manufacturing companies like General Motors, Chrysler and Ford. Everyone bought their cars and they were clearly industry leaders – powerful companies that ranked high in customer satisfaction, made quality vehicles and were the most popular cars to own. Times have definitely changed. Not only are the “Big Three” not as powerful as they once were, they have lost the loyalty of so...

There’s nothing worse than deciding to try a new brand of product and finding that they just aren’t as good as your usual one. It’s worth the try sometimes to quantify just how good a product really is, because after using or having the same thing for a long period of time you can lose the appreciation of the item. Just like fashion, it’s also amusing to see trends come and go. And then there are the times where the hardcore fan will tell you that they knew the product was...

I wound up volunteering to coach basketball, a game I new nearly nothing about. Shortly after I wound up with the job, a parent approached me and asked what sort of coaching style I was going to use. After I managed to clear up the blank look on my face and stammer out some lame answer, I drove quickly to the privacy of my own home to avoid any more questions, and thus, not let my inexperience be known, for I knew after that question that I was in way over my head. At the ...

American car manufacturers offer greater incentives than Japanese car manufacturers. For example, Chevy offers incentives as big as $5,000 on their Silverado trucks; whereas Toyota never offers more than $1,500. Why is this? It’s simple. More people choose to drive Japanese cars than American. Japanese automakers don’t have to entice consumers because consumers are willing to buy their vehicles without them. The reason for this is that Japanese vehicles are much more relia...

Is your income what you expected it would be? Do you have the career you wanted? Is your bank account as full as you’d always dreamed? My cousin used to say, “I’m going to be a millionaire by the age of 21.” He used to tell me he’d have his own personal airplane, live on a private island (his own), fly his own helicopter and live in a beautiful mansion, complete with an Olympic-sized pool, sauna and waterfall. As you may imagine, he’s a lot older than that and none of those t...
