RECYCLE SHOES
No matter how your shoes are processed, the end result is the same – three high-quality Nike Grind materials ready to be put back in the game:
Nike Grind Rubber, made from the shoe's outsole, is used in track surfaces, interlocking gym flooring tiles, playground surfacing and even new Nike products, such as the outsoles of the Nike Pegasus or the Jordan XX3. It’s also used in trim items like buttons and zipper pulls.
Nike Grind Foam, made from the shoe's midsole, is used as a cushion for outdoor basketball and tennis courts, as well as futsal fields.
Nike Grind Fiber, made from the shoe's fabric upper, is used in the creation of cushioning pads for facilities like indoor synthetic courts and wood courts.

10 Ways to Save some Money
and I figured I would share it with you.
When times are hard it can be depressing for some;
but I believe that the way we think can determine our attitude
and eventually our lifestyles.
That living a frugal and pure life requires us to be
poor in spirit and in possessions is so far from the truth.
We CAN live a fabulous frugal life if we begin with our thoughts.
Here are some ways I'm thinking outside the box to save money for our family!
- Instead of buying a new book, see if your local library has it!
- If you still have a land line, call your server provider and ask them to go over your plan with you, chances are you are paying for things you don't use or need. You'd be surprised at the savings!
- Shop at the 99 Cent store! It can be a gold mine if you have the time to search it out!
- Organize. Organize. Organize. When there's a place for everything, you're less likely to run out and buy "X" because you know you have extra. Example: Wrapping paper, Birthday Bags and Tissue.
- Create a spending plan that allows for occasional eating out, pedicure, new shoes, etc. This is a must even if you're on a tight budget, it will help you feel normal and your urges to splurge will be less since you reward yourself on a regular (or semi regular) basis.
- Drink more tea. Not only do you get more anti-oxidants, but it's cheaper at Starbucks!
- Learn how to cook! Sounds cliche?! It isn't, check out the cookbooks at your local library and have at it! You're saving money, being healthier and gaining a new skill - it's a win-win!
- Plan ahead. This goes for everything: vacations, grocery shopping, play dates!
- Leave non-perishable food in the car for snacks. When you and the kids are running around doing errands, you're less likely to stop in at the gas station and buy food. We rotate between goldfish, teddy grams, even cereal, pour in a gallon size zip lock bag!
- When doing your grocery shopping look high and low (literally), the most expensive items are right at eye level, in fact they pay to be there. So the cheaper food is either on the top or bottom shelf!

NJ Family Cares Free Health Insurance
Most of the individual states have a program such as this to help ensure children get appropriate health care even if their parents are out of work or cannot afford to pay for insurance. I hope this helps someone!
Who is eligible for NJ FamilyCare?
Children 18 and younger may apply for the program, as well as certain low-income parents.
The income eligibility level for children's coverage is 350% of the federal poverty level. For example, children in a family of four with a monthly income of up to $6,432 could be eligible for coverage. For parents, the income eligibility level is 200% of the federal poverty level, or $3,675 for a family of four.
Eligibility is based on family size and monthly income. Family size includes children under 21, adoptive and natural parents and their spouses. If a child is living in a household with a grandparent, guardian, or caretaker, that person is not included in the family size, and their income is not taken into consideration when calculating eligibility for NJ FamilyCare, unless the guardian is also requesting coverage.
Only monthly income, not assets, is considered for eligibility.
To view income eligibility limits for various family sizes, go to Income Eligibility and Cost. The blue line shows the maximum income (annual and monthly) that families of various sizes can have in order to be eligible to apply for parent coverage. The bottom line of the chart shows the maximum income for coverage for children.
What if my family makes too much money to qualify for NJ FamilyCare?
Parents at higher income levels can purchase health insurance for their children at reasonable rates through the NJ FamilyCare ADVANTAGE program administered by Horizon NJ Health if they qualify. The cost is $143 per month for one child; $286 per month for two children; and $429 per month for three or more children. To learn more, please visit http://www.horizonnjhealth.com/me...ntage.html or call 1-800-637-2997.
Other insurance?
Applicants will be eligible for NJ FamilyCare only if they have been uninsured for a period of three months or more. However, there are exceptions to this rule, such as if you lost your insurance because your place of work went out of business or you were laid off. Depending on income, other exceptions may apply for families privately paying for health insurance or for COBRA benefits. Call 1-800-701-0710 and speak with a Health Benefits Coordinator to find out if any exceptions apply to you.
Premiums, co-payments?
For many families, NJ FamilyCare will be free. Other families will pay a monthly premium based on their income and small co-payments for some services.To view premiums, go to What It Costs.
How do I apply?
It is easy! Download an application from this website, or apply online, or call toll-free 1-800-701-0710 to request an application or to receive more information. If you are not sure you or your children could be eligible, please call us.

HOW TO MAKE CHORES MORE FUN FOR KIDS
1. Hide treats, stickers, or pennies in, on, or under knickknacks, then ask your child to dust. She gets to enjoy the rewards only when everything is dusted.
2. Post individual lists of chores kids can do (one for each child in your family). Whenever your child accomplishes a task, have her mark it with a sticker. Whoever has the most stickers at the end of the week gets the Helper of the Week award.
3. Play "Go Fish" with a basket of clean socks. Divide the socks among the players, leaving a pile to draw from. Each player, in turn, holds up a sock and asks another player if he has the mate. If not, the asking player must take a sock from the top of the draw pile. When finished, the player with the most pairs wins.
4. Turn any socks that stay single into child-friendly dust mitts. Insert child's hand into clean but dampened sock and use it to remove dust from houseplants and furniture.
5. Have a scavenger hunt. Make a list of everyday items (newspapers, magazine, shoes, etc.). Set a timer for 5 minutes, then have kids collect stray items throughout the house. The winner is the child who picks up the most (and returns them to their rightful spots).
6. After dinner, do a "10-Minute Tidy." Set a timer and have family members scatter through the house putting away the day's clutter.
7. Appoint someone to be Inspector D. Clutter. Armed with a laundry basket and plastic police badge from the dress-up box, this person roams the house and puts stray belongings into clutter "jail" (the basket). To set an item free, its owner (Mom and Dad included!) must do a chore.
8. Turn a bucket into a personalized cleaning caddy. Use permanent marker to write your child's name on it and have him decorate its with other drawings. Store supplies such as sponge, dustrag and roll of paper towels, etc.
9. Show them the money? Some experts believe allowance should be reserved for teenagers. School-aged children will easily get behind the idea that chores are something you do as a member of the family — not for money. They'll be excited just to show off their skill at completing a task."
