It’s Summertime and Time to Get off the Couch

It is summertime in Texas, and you know you are going to see triple-digit temperatures. It may seem like it’s too hot to get outside and do anything, but it’s actually the perfect time. Kids are out of school and probably been cooped up in the house all day over summer break. Their pent-up energy is the perfect motivator to get you out and about on the weekends or on your days off. Although, it is very hot there are still many things you can do to get yourself up and out of the house but not died of heat stroke.

Outside Activities to Do with the Family

So, what family-friendly outside activities can you do when the weather is excruciatingly hot? There are many water activities that the kids will enjoy and help to take away some of the heat. Buy a season pass to a waterpark, cookout at the lake and swim, set up a homemade slip and slide in the backyard, or go canoeing down the Brazos River. All these water activities will help keep you cool in hundred-degree temperatures. If water activities are not your thing, then maybe think about planning a camping trip for you and your family. You can always find shady places to keep cool during the middle of the day and once the sun goes down the heat level decreases and you can focus on campfire cooking and fun activities around the campsite for you and your family. You could also consider hiking, and as long as you go at a relatively slow pace, you won’t overdo it in this heat.

How Much Do You Drive on a Daily Basis?

How Much Do You Drive on a Daily Basis? We live in a society where people typically drive their vehicles for a short period and do not actually pay them off before jumping into a new one. There can be many reasons for this. This means that the total amount that they owed on the previous vehicle is tacked onto the new one so. Therefore, many people are indebted to their vehicles more than they are with their actual home loans. For these types of people, leasing a vehicle sounds like a good option because you get a new one every two years. The only issue with this is that you are only allowed a certain number of miles per year. So, for those of us who travel long distances every day back and forth to work, school or traveling, leasing is not the best option. We exceed the number of allotted miles in only a few months. The Alternative to Leasing A Vehicle So, what does someone do that travels great distances every day to be able to lease or to fit within the qualifications of a l...
