It was a big event for us an all our friends.The kids in the neighborhood really liked our swingset and tower. We had the opportunity to invent all sorts of games and play on it for hours at a time. The tower was used to play house, spaceship, as a base for tag, etc. It was a great pleasure to eat our lunch up there sometimes and go up there to read our books.One of the happiest memories I can talk about is the warm summer evening we took our ice-cream cones up on the tower and ate them while watching the sunset. Then daddy got home from work and joined us on the tower. We all tal (read full article) |

| |
| Okay I admit it I love to take hot relaxing bubble baths. Nothing beats soaking in a tub and reading a good book at the same time. I usually skip the glass of wine, I am much more apt to have a glass of diet coke instead.Before motherhood I would often take my luxurious soak in the evenings. But as all good mother's know, if the kids are home there is no real relaxing. They have you cornered and will often want to chat or have untold questions to ask when you are in the tub.

When you think of educational toys and games for your children don't overlook some of the obvious ones.Today we will talk about Yahtzee, most say it is all in the luck of the roll. That maybe true but there is some logic involved as well. Do you use four ones for your four of a kind or do you try for sixes instead. Do you go for your large straight when you have a 2, 3, 4, 5, or do you try in when you have a 1, 2, 4, 5?But besides the logic there is basic addition. Learning to count by 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's, and 6's. Then of course you need to total up the score.The game of yahtzee doesn't take long and even if (read full article) |

While there has been a surge in patriotism, we all need to maintain a sense of pride and love for our country whether we are at war or in peace time.Children need to feel a sense of belonging too, in their family, their classrooms and in their country.
