Most parents would agree that nothing would make them happier than to see their child's nose in a book this summer. But that is often easier said than done. With distractions like the pool, summer camps, television, and video games, asking your child to add a book to their plans is like asking a fish to walk. But book publisher Scholastic has a new summer reading campaign designed to help get your kids excited about reading this summer!

No matter how you look at it, college is an expensive proposition these days. Both public and private colleges and universities have had to raise fees and tuition as costs have increased. As a result, college student debt has skyrocketed and many students end up with loan payments years, sometimes even decades, after graduation. But with some careful planning and creative thinking, there are lots of other ways to help pay for college and avoid being stuck with big loan payments after graduation. One final but important step in the college application process is to include an application for financial aid.

As parents, and grandparents for that matter, we consider it to be a bit of a rite of passage to tell our children just how easy they have it compared to what we went through at their age.
