Finding an alternative spring break for our family to go on

Guest post written by Renee Harold

My niece went on an alternative spring break a few years ago to help clean up after Katrina and she said that it was an amazing experience. So when we decided that we were going to go on a spring break as a family this year, I thought that we could check out family alternative spring break options.

We have teenagers, so they're old enough to volunteer with us and I just thought this might be a little more fulfilling for us. While I was online researching that, I came across some information comparing Electricity companies and after I looked through it some, I decided to sign ! up for one of the energy savings plans that I found.

We're actually going to go to New Orleans for the spring break trip, but we're also going to have a bit of fun while we're there too. I want to do a good amount of sightseeing because IÕve never been to the city before and I love going and looking at historical homes and things like that. We may have to go on our ghost tour for my sonÕs sake.

My birthday

It is quite late to post this but I had a blast on my birthday, April the 7th. My husband and I went to the coast and play in the casino and pamper ourselves in the spa. Sweet!

Credit Score

Here in the states it is very important to have a good credit score. It is the basis of any loans or credit you are going to do. It is very smart to keep it on an excellent category all the time because you will never know what will come. I was confused at first when I first knew about it, but now I can understand it better and now building up my score. I don't want to encounter problems in the future if I need it.

Since I am still building mine, good thing my husbands credit score is in excellent category. I'm the one paying our bills and doing our finances. So I always make sure we are on the right track. It helped us big time when my dad passed away and we needed the money. And because of his outstanding credit score we were granted with the money that we needed that time.

Now I really make sure his credit score don't go down or put in a limbo rock. I always keep on eye on it at free credit score websites. I checked it every month and so is mine if I am making any progress. Right now we are on low risk level and that is a good thing because we are in good standing. So check yours now and be on the right track.
