Good morning listeners,

Show #13 is done, but I'm experiencing some technical difficulties with my podcast host. Hopefully I can get it working and uploaded to the site tonight.

So stay tuned.

TSP Show #13: Summer Camps=Money, Money, Money

Listen to Show #13

Summer is around the corner and many single parents have to find summer camps for their kid(s). I don’t know about you, but I DREAD this. I find the summer camps to be short in length and too darn expensive. Show #13 talks about the ridiculous fees for summer camps and asks how do single parents deal.

Next Show Topic

Hello all,

On the next show I'll be talking about what challenges single parents face when kids are out on summer break (sending the kids off to a grandparent/ex-spouse or summer camp).

I am considering doing this show live. Many of you know I'm a geekygirl and love testing out new services. So I may test out this new service and make show #13 a live one.

More to come on that.

Still Open for Business While Undergoing MAJOR Construction

Please bear with me. I am giving this blog a complete overhaul and it is a bit tedious and time consuming.

I hope to complete this overhaul and launch the new site in two weeks.

I have received a lot of twits and emails regarding the last show on ‘Going to School as a Single Parent”, so I’ve decided to do a part 2 to that show.

So stay tuned for more news on that upcoming show and the new site.
