An onlien computer hard drive back up service such as Backblaze. They usually cost around 50-60 per year. That way your protected incase of a natural disaster or fire. Another less "fool proof" way is to store an external hard drive at a relative's house. Hopefully one far enough to not have the same natural disaster but close enough for you to regularly take home and add new stuff to. I highly recommend off site backup for your pictures.

I have joined the local sewing/craft class at our community center. Everyone helps each other with whatever it is they are working on.

Creative Memories has wonderful products to store, save, and display your pictures. Let me talk about family tasks, cleaning, homework, anything the kids have to do. My kids earn marbles ( glass gems from Walmart) once they fill the jar they get to choose what they want. My daughter wanted to have her nails (done) painted at the shop( painting is just $3). My son likes Wii games but he has to fill the jar twice for that. He always wants a $50 game. So I hope they learn the value on the dollar too. But you can have a special one on one time, they choose what you make for dinner(be ready for breakfast food) or whatever fits your budget. But if they have a goal they always seem to work harder. They start coming to you to tell you what they accomplished. That is always the best part. Happy 2011!

I just try to stick with the fruits/veggies on the dirty dozen list when I can afford them. For some fruits on the list, there isn't much of a price difference to buy organic. For those with a huge difference, my goal this year is to buy more organic when my budget allows.

This is how they get it to have such a long shelf life. So, nutrient-wise, you're better off getting the store brand organic milk too. I personally don't buy organic milk, but I also want to start buying more organic produce this year (mainly the produce on the "dirty dozen" list).

I'll have to dig it out to use in the meantime though. I have a Picture Keeper, and I agree that it's very useful, but I think my collection might be too large for it at this point.

I read somewhere to give kids only 3 chores to do per day. Also, I changed their chores daily-for example the older one set the table last night, and the younger one is doing it tonight. ALSO, I swear by shutterfly and/or snapfish for photo storage. I organize pictures on our computer by folders under "My Pictures". Then, I upload those onto both sites...it works well for me.

They also drink a lot of milk, so I have seen a slight increase in the budget. To help, I buy regular milk for my husband & I to drink. I switched my 2 kids to organic milk a few months ago.
