10 Tips for Staying Sane this Summer
by Tracy Lyn Moland
The countdown is on – only 42 more days of school. The kids
are ecstatic and the parents in fear. We all have different summer
memories – great times, boring times, and traveling. Summer is a

children are out of school and that can mean some interesting

Mother's Day
20 Tips for an Excellent
Mother's Day Gift
by Susan Allred
Every Year for Mother’s Day, me and several of our siblings go to my
parent’s home to Celebrate Mother’s Day. Every year on that weekend we
go to a Balloon Stampede. A Balloon stampede is where hundreds hot air
balloonists get together and spend a couple of days having contests and
taking their balloons into the sky causing the most breath-taking views
imaginable. Our Family has done this for more than a decade – it’s a
tradition. And every year, we get the opportunity, as a family to tell our
mother how much we lover her and shower her with gifts and to concentrate
a full day on HER. It’s great! <more...>

Closer
by Nicole Wallace
What do you remember about your childhood? Was it the leather bound
book set you received from Grandma or was it her apple pie that she cooked
for every family event? We often miss the opportunity to do the things
that matter most while we’re off spending time and money doing things
that don’t matter. It’s not the expensive gifts or the big parties
that we remember from our childhood -- it is the family rituals that we
did over and over again. <more...>
