It’s hard to believe it, but that little boy you used to snuggle with has grown into a tall teenager!
Where does the time go?
Of course you want to get him the perfect gift. Something that shows how much you love him.
But how can you manage that?
He hardly wants anything at all. And the few ideas you’ve managed to wiggle out of him are well above your budget.
What do you get a teenager for Christmas?
It’s a tough task…but not an impossible one!
Let’s explore a few ideas that are just right for your beloved teen this year.
(If you can’t tell, I have 3 teenage boys of my own. But don’t worry, there are ideas here that work for a boy or a girl!)
Curious about how Walmart Christmas layaway 2020 works? Find out what makes it a great alternative to putting another holiday on plastic!
Remember the days of the blue light special? Back then everyone seemed to use layaway programs to help them afford Christmas gifts.
Over time, more people began to use credit cards instead of dealing with the hassle of layaway programs.
But layaway still exists! And it’s actually a fantastic way to avoid debt this Christmas.
Given all the scary statistics about Christmas spending and compounding debt problems (read all about that here), you should be doing everything possible to avoid pulling out the card this season.
It probably won’t surprise you to learn that the best layaway program I’ve found is at Walmart. They will set you up with a program with no extra fees.
That’s much better than what your average credit card company will do for you!
Celebrating Easter at home this year? Here’s how to celebrate Easter when you’re stuck at home…and how to keep it special for kids and families.
Last year our 5 year old son had a fairly serious spine surgery and was admitted to the hospital for several days.
We spent Palm Sunday there.
And when they released us, it was with orders to stay home for at least a couple of weeks.
(No one wants a still healing child exposed to more germs.)
That meant that we missed Easter Sunday mass, as well.
Who would have guessed that we’d miss them again this year?
Well, spending a special day like Easter at home, without the traditions you usually keep with loved ones, is a tough thing for adults to deal with.
And no, it’s not nearly as hard as what lots of other people are struggling with right now. But it’s ok to admit that you’re bummed about missing out on this special day.
And for kids, it’s even harder. They don’t really get what’s going on.
So how can we keep Easter special, even when we’re stuck at home?
