Stay Cool with these tips to Lower Cooling Cost             
As summer starts to heat up and temperatures rise, many of us are cranking up the air conditioners to stay cool.

Some Traveling Tips for Your Sanity
I see several friends heading on vacation during this time right before schools starts.  I am a bit sad we took ours earlier in the summer!  The last two years, my family and I have been able to travel with our extended family to new destinations.  These trips hold great memories of cousins playing and adults visiting around games!
