Video games are here to stay. Even if you ban them from your house, your child will go to someone else’s house and play. It’s just how it is.
It’s also unfortunately easy to get overly obsessed with video games. Parents worry about video game addiction, where kids become so enthralled with playing games that they neglect everyone and everything else.
But there are lots of positive ways to handle your child’s hobby and even use it to spur new interests.

It is that time of year again! Super Bowl is almost upon us. No matter where you are located, there are bound to be many things to do with awesome deals for the whole group! However, if you aren’t up for hanging out with the crowd this Super Bowl Sunday, you can always watch the game from the comfort of your own home. You can make some good food and your kids can help! Here is a list of kid-friendly Super Bowl recipes your kids will love to help with.
One of the best ways for your children to learn something new is by incorporating the material in fun activities that will not only engage your kids but will also allow them to retain that new information. Many people think that school is the place where children go to learn. Although that may have some truth to it, learning should continue at home. Many schools provide ways to keep kids active and learning outside of school by sending home homework, providing before & after school care or organizing summer camps programs. However, it’s always nice to change up the pace and find new ways to learn and have fun at home. And while it may seem daunting to think of different indoor activities that your children will enjoy, committing to providing your children with engaging, entertaining, and educational activities will be absolutely worth the effort you invest in the end. If you’re uncertain of where to start, look no further. Here are five indoor activities that your children will love.

When you hire a nanny, you become a “household employer”. And the nanny – or any other person performing work in or near your home, like a health aide, housekeeper, gardener, cook, personal assistant, estate manager, etc. — is considered an employee of the family. Misclassifying an employee as an “independent contractor” is viewed as tax evasion by the IRS.
If a household employee is paid more than $2,100 in a calendar year, the household employer is required to withhold and remit payroll taxes to the state and the IRS. If a household pays an employee less than the threshold in a calendar year, payroll taxes are not required to be withheld and remitted; however, the household is still legally considered an employer and, therefore, must adhere to federal and state labor laws.
In this post, we review your responsibilities as a household employer, and suggest a done-for-you solution by our partner, HomePay.
