Now instead of digging through individual mail stations, all current school related materials are located in one easy to find location. 3. I also took full advantage of having pockets in the binder divider tabs! And the other is a great place to slip those billing statements as they come in the mail and need to be paid: Now, twice a month when we pay our bills, we can go right to the Finance tab and log our expenses and send out our payments. 4. I also added a baseball card sleeve for any business cards we accumulate along the way! 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

To help you get ready to tackle your own money goals for 2013, we gathered our best advice from the past 12 months and organized it into 50 bite-size steps: 1. Be a year-round discount shopper. Specific holidays used to loom large in the world of coupon hunters, who expected to see massive discounts on July Fourth, Labor Day, Black Friday, and other big shopping days. 2. As the economy recovers, retailers are eager to pick up the biggest share of consumers' spending what they can, and in some cases, that means adopting more flexible pricing policies. 3. Much stress can come from disagreeing with your spouse or partner about how you should be spending shared income. 4. 5. Tax rates are likely to rise for many Americans next year, especially high-earning ones.

My Own Getting Things Done System - Paddy Moogan I wanted to talk a little about the system I use for (trying) to get things done. I say trying because I’m aware that my system isn’t perfect. Well, actually, the system could be totally fine. The problem is probably me! I feel that this topic isn’t covered very often in relation to SEO, one of my previous similar posts went down quite well so I wanted to (finally) do a more tip focused follow up. I get distracted easily which probably doesn’t help me get things done no matter what system I use. I’m in control of my projects – they’re not in control of me. I wanted to share my system to try and help others and also to get feedback on this one. There are basically 3 stages to my system Get ClearGet CurrentGet Creative I run through this system every Friday afternoon, I actually block out the time in my calendar so no one can book meetings during this time. Get Clear This involves making sure you’re caught up on everything you need to be and that you are aware of the big picture. Get Current
Curiosity Is a Unique Marker of Academic Success Curiously (pun intended), curiosity is also virtually absent from the field of gifted-and-talented education. A recent survey of required identification methods across all states found that only three considered motivation a part of giftedness. IQ, on the other hand, is required by 45 states, while 39 require standardized tests of achievement. A recent feature story in Scientific American further punctuates this point. Misleadingly titled “How to Raise a Genius,” the article summarized the results of a 45-year study of children who at age 12 scored in the top 1 percent on the SATs and were subsequently tracked and then supported. At least 95 percent of the participants experienced some type of educational acceleration as a result of their identification, and most participated in enrichment programs such as Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Talented Youth (CTY). Much to the researchers’ delight, the results confirmed their expectations. But is this really true?
How We Meal Plan For Our Clan After the recent stint on HGTV, I have been getting quite a few questions about my meal planning process. I actually did a post on it quite awhile ago here, however, it's since evolved a bit and I thought it was time for a little update. First, it is important to take a moment to chat about why I go through the process:To prepare for the week: We typically meal plan on Sunday and plan out what we are having for breakfast, lunch and dinner each week. Because we know what we are eating each morning and night, it means less stress, less money eating out and the ability to pull anything frozen out of the freezer the night before. When my husband gets home from work, there is none of that, "What is for dinner?" banter. I would reference this to quickly check it against our inventory {which is easy since I don't over purchase and everything is in clear containers}. Eventually, the list was engraved in my brain, but I always kept a copy on my meal planning clipboard, just in case.
