Tomorrow is Take Our Children to Work Day! Started in 1993 as “Take Your Daughter to Work Day,” the day has been expanded to include boys as well in 2003. According to Forbes, about 37 million people participate each year. What a great way to show our children what it is that we do at […]
Today is Earth Day. Since 1970, April 22 has been set aside to remind us of the importance of taking care of our environment. This year is no exception, and since the date falls on a Monday, it’s very likely that your child will be observing Earth Day at school today. Still, there are some […]
Do you have a daughter with long hair? I took my daughter in for a trim the other day, and I was surprised at how thick soft her hair looked after the stylist was done. She tends to have thin hair, and since we live in hot, steamy Florida, we don’t typically use a hairdryer, […]
We are currently in the process of buying our next home, which has been a great learning experience for our children. Before we applied for our new mortgage, I ordered copies of our credit reports, and we were surprised to see an error on my husband’s! Although we have never lived in Arizona, there was […]

Our resident TopChef and cooking advisor has some Turkey tips for you this holiday season…… It’s just my husband and I in our household, so I rarely make turkey. Perhaps a turkey breast now and then, but never a whole turkey. Besides I never needed to. Thanksgiving was always celebrated at my uncle’s house with […]
September is here! Summer may be coming to an end but there are deals to be had.
Now the kids are back in school (or returning after this upcoming weekend, if you live in an area that goes back after Labor Day) and most of the nation is back to wearing real shoes and opening their […]
Wow, June already; we’re almost halfway through the year! June brings Father’s Day, camp outs, the official start of summer, and some great sales on items that you want and need.
