1. Chase Reward points I earned $27 in reward points from Chase this month. This was higher than usual, mostly due to using my credit card to pay for my daughter's tuition and books for this fall.

1.  Homeschool Banquet Every year our homeschool co-op offers a high school banquet for its members. It is always beautifully decorated and makes a very special night for our children.
