Topic: Family life & more - page 3

Are you overwhelmed with a busy family life and never enough time to declutter? I can relate. Over the weekend, I started decluttering. Even though there were a lot of items that had gradually built up over the years, I managed to declutter a lot of items in a surprisingly short time, and if I can do it, you can too! It's definitely easier than you would think.

Here I'm giving a balanced review of MySchoolBucks from a parent's point of view. MySchoolBucks is a school payment system where you as a parent can put money into your child's school cafeteria account. Find out here how it stacks up.

Here I’m reviewing Stars messaging, which our family has recently started using. It’s a phone and tablet app for families and kids who want a way to message each other without requiring a phone number. You can also do video chat. In other words, it can even work on a tablet with no data plan (so long as there is a Wi-Fi connection). First I’ll briefly explain how Stars works, then outline the pros and cons, and then I’ll explain why I feel it’s a safer fit for kids than other messaging apps on the market.

Do you need a tablet for yourself or your child? There is no need to spend hundreds of dollars on a tablet. I’ve bought tablets for my kids from reliable reputable places for under $100 for a new one, and here I’ll show how you can too.
