Answer
Are you able to collect bottles and cans for recycling? Even my 7-year-old daughter carries a bag with her when we walk our dogs in our neighborhood. Together we pick up grocery bags full of aluminum cans, glass and plastic bottles, and we put them all in our wagon and cart them across the street to the recycler where we turn them in for cash. If you have a parent who can help you, collect lots and take them to your recycling facility. Here in California, plastic bottles are five to ten cents each and they buy aluminum cans at $1.25 - $1.75 a pound. we regularly get $30 every time we take in our bottles and cans.
Can you eat candy at your school? My sister would buy a bag of individually wrapped candy sour balls and sell them to her friends at school at twenty-five cents each. She would buy a bag of those candies on Monday for $2.00 for the bag and come home with $15 in quarters by Friday. If you are able to sell things at school, try selling really fun pencils. My daughter brought in to her classroom all of the pencils we got for free at fairs and special event booths, and the teacher later told me all the kids in class traded in their plain yellow pencils for the brightly colored pencils my daughter brought in. If you could get a lot of different colored pencils, could you sell them to your classmates at twenty-five cents each?
Have you been picking up those pennies, nickels, and dimes from the ground? We find pennies everywhere we go! We find pennies, nickels, and dimes even in the dirt under the soda machines at Yosemite National Park! We find pennies on the floor at Wal-Mart and local supermarkets all the time. We find pennies on the sidewalk and in the street everywhere we go, and every night when I walk my dogs I find at least 2-3 pennies! Pennies are still money! We were walking home from a walking field trip to sing Christmas carols at the school district offices, and right in front of the line of walking second-graders I found thirty-five cents on the sidewalk by the corner store! Pick up those pennies! We put them all in my daughter's piggy bank, and when it's full we roll the coins up and cash them in at the bank, and we usually cash in $25 at a time. Offer to help clean and vacuum your relative's cars and ask to keep whatever change you find in them. Some people have several dollars in coins in their cars and never bother to cash them in. Collect them, put them in a jar, and take the coins to your coinstar coin counter at the supermarket and get your money in dollar bills. We do. I am a grown-up and I still pick up all the pennies I find on my college campus! High school campuses are great places to find pennies as well. Look under the benches at the football stadium, especially if there is nothing but dirt underneath them. My sister and I regularly found quarters, nickels, and dimes under the bleachers at the football stadium at the high school down the block after their Friday night games.
Are you good at fixing things? I knew a kid who started at the age of 10 collecting bicycle parts he found being thrown away in the trash, and then he bought new tires and seats, painted the frames, put the bikes back together, and then sold them at yard sales at his house. He averaged around $500 a month in sales of his bikes. He now is grown up and owns his own bike shop. Another young man I heard of years ago had access to all kinds of free tickets to sporting events and concerts around Los Angeles. His dad had a job where he got complimentary tickets to major events and never used them, so the boy took the free tickets to his friends and sold them for face value and made a lot of money - enough to open his own business as a ticket broker. He still to this day has his own ticket office right down the street from his old high school, and has made a lot of money as a ticket broker just by starting selling his dad's unwanted free tickets.
Another boy I knew was really good at woodcarving while still in junior high. He carved all kinds of wonderful little animals and leaves and flowers and today is still selling his woodcarvings, and makes wooden signs and fun garden statues and is still happy doing what he loves.
In other words, there are lots of ways to find money or earn money if you keep your eyes open. Me, I've been recycling and getting the money for it since I was 16 and got my driver's license. I'm teaching my 7-year-old daughter to do the same. She now demands a dollar for helping me every time we cash them in.

School lunches?? H E L P ! !?

Mommytothr

When I send my Twins off to 1st grade I will be sending lunches, Can anyone give me good ideas for variety.

Answer
Make sure you have a small freezer pack in the bag to keep things cold, and ALWAYS send along your own plastic cutlery!!!

Tortilla shells - coat them with stuff the kids like (i.e. ham/cheese, cream cheese with jam or with drained fruit cocktail or banana - then roll them up and slice.
Cold leftover pizza.
Hummus with bagel chips.
Make your own "Lunchable" with healthy alternatives - real sliced leftover roast beef or chicken, cubes/slices of real cheddar cheese, crackers and a cup of washed individual grapes. Vegetable sticks are always welcome by kids, especially if you include a small container of their favorite low-fat dip.
Yogurt is a favorite of most kids and great for school lunches. Children also like cold rice, pasta, and couscous, which can be sent in a container and kept cold.
They love string cheese.
Try wrapping thin slices of lean deli roast beef around short bread sticks.
Cubes of lean ham or turkey breast are also good for kids along with a little packet of mustard or ketchup from a fast food restaurant - for dipping.
Try different pita breads or tortilla wrappings filled with a favorite sandwich meat (NOT a processed meat) or salad, meat and cheese kabobs, or a macaroni salad.
Salsa and chips, assorted pickles, or veggie sticks and slices with dip.
Choose fruits that are easy to eat and not messy. Be sure to peel fruits that need it, and cut them into finger-size pieces for younger children.
Vary the bread offerings from plain sliced bread to raisin bread, pita pockets, dinner rolls, flour tortillas, or mini-bagels.
Rice cakes are a fun addition. Pack tuna salad, peanut butter or cheese spread in a separate container to be spooned on at lunchtime so the cakes don't get soggy.
Mix cream cheese with raisins and a dash of honey to spread on graham crackers.
An old favorite is Ants on a Log. Fill celery sticks with cream cheese, sprinkle with grated carrot, and push in raisons for ants.
If you make chicken breasts, prepare an extra serving and slice it for sandwiches the next day instead of purchasing deli lunch meat.
While youâre making dinner, boil a few eggs. Pack the eggs whole, make deviled eggs, or use them in egg salad.
Make an extra baked potato and pack it with nutritious toppings.
Try some of these sandwich fillings in whole-wheat pocket bread, on whole-grain bread, bagels, crackers, English muffins, rice cakes or rolls, or try filling and rolling tortillas or lavash flat bread.
Cheese, avocado, and sprouts
Grilled cheese with cucumber or sprouts
Leftover grilled vegetables (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, eggplant, zucchini) with sliced cheese, goat cheese, or pesto sauce
Cheddar or mozzarella cheese with apple slices
Brie cheese with mustard and sprouts
Cheese, tomato, sprouts or lettuce, and pesto sauce
Leftover turkey loaf with tomatoes, and lettuce or sprouts
Sliced leftover chicken or turkey, cranberry sauce, and lettuce
Sliced leftover chicken or turkey, honey mustard, tomatoes, and lettuce or sprouts
Sliced leftover beef with mayonnaise or horseradish, sliced tomato and cucumbers
Chicken salad made with celery, lettuce, and tomato
Tuna/cucumber/green pepper salad with tomato
Salmon salad with lettuce or sprouts
Shrimp salad with lettuce or sprouts
Lowfat cream cheese, and smoked salmon (with tomato, and red onion)
Mix a container of lowfat strawberry yogurt and 1 cup reduced-fat frozen whipped topping (thawed) to make a yogurt dipping sauce for berries; or core an apple and fill it with peanut butter (sprinkle the apple with orange or lemon juice to prevent discoloration); toss a few nuts and M&M's or chocolate chips into a dried fruit mixture to make a healthful snack or dessert.
Here are good veggie/fruit choices - remember to send at least 2 servings: baby carrots (they come packaged plain or with ranch dip); celery sticks (add peanut butter and raisins); julienned, strip-cut or zigzag-cut carrots, zucchini, sweet peppers, cucumbers and summer squash (presentation, presentation!); lettuce and tomato slices (pack separately to put onto a sandwich); grape tomatoes; cubed or cut melon; orange wedges; kiwi slices; pineapple cubes (fresh or juice-packed); berries; apples; and dried fruit such as apricots, raisins, sweetened dried cranberries and cherries.

totes for school???!!!?

Q. i'm a 13 year old 8th grader that goes to this really small country school and for next year my teachers are trying this new thing that we are not allowed to go to our lockers in btw classes so we have to carry all of our books with us..... so do you think i should get a tote to carry my books... and if so what should i look like????

Answer
If your school will allow you to do it, the rolling suitcases or totes on wheels are a healthier way to move a heavy load. In recent years doctors have seen a significant rise in back problems in kids your age or a little older, and it seems connected to carrying lots of heavy books. If your school won't allow you to pull your books, use a proper backpack (and show your teachers the article below). Sorry to say, tote bags are the cutest solution but also the one that's the worst for you. Save them just for lightweight stuff.
