The bloggers were busy this week. Here are the topics they took on:

• Family came up a few times. No kids equals no inheritance? Karen Malone Wright dug into some advice from “Dear Abby.”
• And having kids comes with its own challenges. Rebecca Suhy wrote about the emotions of having to find a new daycare for her son.
• More interested in business? Patrick Giusto gave a teacher’s perspective on merit pay and Jennifer Margolis talked about finding purpose in your job.
• Health was another common topic. Raven DeVoll discussed the financial impact of dealing with cancer. Alice Stollenwerk Petrulis, MD shared why she thinks you should get a flu shot.
• Looking forward to Thanksgiving week? Adam Teresi invited readers to check out this week’s activities at the Maltz Museum.
• And what fall blog round-up would be complete without some insight on the Browns? This week, Kristen Kaleal tackled the topic with some humor, encouraging readers to protest, “snack attack” and turn the season into a sitcom.
