|
|
Any sailor worth his salt will tell you that when the wind changes, you adjust your sails.

Whats Up Ahead on The Road...
COLLEGE is what's up ahead for so many kids, and we've got some more recommendations of items no one should be without from our Paying For College 101 Facebook group .
Guys don't generally like lugging shower totes to the dorm bathrooms, but this one comes in charcoal and does the trick for one group member's son.
Bet you never imagined that "Masks" would wind up as a category on one of your "Essentials For College" lists, but we're betting good money that it is.
As far as disposable ones go, lots of folks recommended these.
In the reusable category, masks from fanatics.com can be ordered with your kid's favorite sports team logo.
