And I'm sure the power outage left everyone in their home trying to stop the minutes from seeming like hours.
As our kids were starting to be at their wits' end, being captive in the house Sunday morning with only boring Mom and Dad to talk to, I asked my family for some help on this week's column by sharing some thoughts on how Hurricane Irene impacted our money situation.
In response, my family said we saved money by:
Not having to pay for electricity.ARTArticleWestport News: A Lesson on BudgetingYes!

And what is the difference between earning interest and paying interest?
I realize that even adults don't always grasp these concepts.

One thing that's fun and educational for our children to learn about is the companies they are exposed to on a daily basis in their own lives.
I just returned from my son's baseball game and noticed a number of the kids wearing Nike cleats. That always makes me feel younger tha
I actually am as I too wore Nike on occasion when I was his age.ARTArticleWestport News: Kid and Poker- Two Sides of the CoinTwo of you are having a "respectful disagreement" (this is polite writer's speak for "argument") on a topic that we are going to let the Town of Westport be the judge and jury on. This decision will be binding on both parties. Is everyone ready? How do you feel about this one?ARTArticleWestport News: Let's Talk About SexOf course I knew that headline would get your attention.

This is an important lesson for us, as parents, to impart upon our children.ARTArticleWestport News: Try a 'purpose vacation' to teach altruismComing off our fun-filled winter break, I thought it might be time to plant the seeds of taking a "purpose vacation" for your family's next vacation break.
