Houston Chronicle Deal Still Going! $1 Papers!

By Leave a Comment By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

I just got off the phone with our friend at the Houston Chronicle, Nick. I was having problems with all my papers getting delivered…. apparently it freaks out the guys delivering that you want more than one and they think it is a mistake! 
Got that taken care of!
Now, Nick confirmed that the Sunday only delivery for $1 is still going, in fact they have told them to not put a stop date on it! The only limit is that you can only lock in that rate for 52 weeks. No limit on the number of papers either! 
So, if you want your papers delivered to your door for only $1 give them a call! 713-220-7211

How to Tell the Difference Between a Family Trip and a Vacation

By 11 Comments By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

This is a repost from several years ago, but is very informational. Here’s how you tell the difference between a Family Trip and a Vacation.
This past week was spring break for us.
Surprise, surprise we thought we would go camping. Always sounds like a good idea doesn’t it?
With almost 30 hours in the car my husband and I had a chance to have a lot of “discussions”.
We decided there was a difference between a  “family trip” and a “vacation”.
By all means, this was a family trip!
Let me point out some differences….
Family Trip: Suburban pulling a trailer of camping gear and bikes.
Vacation: Car taking you to the airport.
Cue the banjo music!
Family Trip: Posing in front of a giant fake shark.
Vacation: Chartered fishing trip to actually catch something (other than the TICK that caught me!!!)
Family Trip: Lugging beach gear down .7 miles to the beach.
Vacation: Walking out french doors onto the beach!
Ummm…. I have no idea what this child was doing…
Family Trip: Eating lunch your Mother made on the beach AND LIKING IT!
Vacation: Cabana’s on the beach to fix you whatever you want.
Family Trip: Throwing sand at your sister!
Vacation: Throwing sand at your sister, it never gets old does it?!
Family Trip: Sleeping in a lawn chair.
Vacation: Sleeping in some beautiful hammock somewhere.
Family Trip: Dozing on the beach, waking up to a fish head your son left in your face on his smelly hat.
Vacation: Dozing on the beach, waking up to a Pina Colada!
Traveling with kids tip #3,458
Buy a bunch a Starburst candy, give one to the 2 year old UNOPENED, this will keep him busy for hours!
Family Trip: If it rains, take the kids to the Navel Museum, it’s free!
Vacation: Spend a bunch of money to entertain the kids at the mall.
Family Trip: Stop in New Orleans on the way home, prolonging the trip by 5 hours and ensuring that you get home at 2am! (But had really good food!)
Vacation: Flight gets in on time, you are in bed at a reasonable hour.
Family Trip: Get entertained by a guy, trying to look like a statue, all painted in gold.
Vacation: Hang out with people all decked out in gold!
You know what?
We both decided we would take a family trip any day of the week!
Did I mention that I had a tick??
