When navigating organizational landmines, one of the most explosive are sentimental items like souvenirs from vacations. Tied to our souvenirs are memories of vacations gone by…carefree days, exploring new destinations, relaxing. Ahh…I can almost hear the ocean now.
But truly, how many travel-themed t-shirts does a person need? There must be a better way […]

Last week I had a list of things you can do with your kids this summer. I wanted to simply add … reading time! Your local Library, or Bookstore typically offer this for all ages. Libraries usually have it broken into toddlers and school age reading times. Plus you can let them check out a […]

Well, we are officially into our second week of summer here, and our first week of camp. Every year about the beginning of May my sister and I begin to scout out and plan the activities for the summer. Not just family vacation, but what activities we can do with the kids. When you […]
