    How to Make a Vacation Journal for Your Kids

    April 26, 2011 /

    Ahhh… Vacation! I’m in the middle of laundry, packing, cleaning out the frig and everything else that is involved when getting ready to hit the road for a family trip.  Our trip will be about 8 hours of driving time to a /great/ place to take the kids: Washington DC!  I am excited. My boys are pumped. The family is going to spend some great time together. For our trip I wanted to share a little ‘Journal’ I’m putting together for the boys.  A place to store all of their paper memorabilia, a spot to jot their thoughts and draw pictures, a way to help them get excited and keep the…

    Financial Education for your Children

    April 25, 2011 /

    There is no one, perfect way to start teaching your children about finances.  However, there is a wrong way and that wrong way is to ignore it and assume that they are too young, don’t need to be ‘taught’ or just feel as a parent that you aren’t up to the challenge.  Start your children out on the right foot and help them learn to navigate the world of finances.  You never know you might learn something along the way! Be a Role ModelHow do you pay for things? Do you buy ‘wants’ and then fuss and fret about not being able to pay for the ‘needs’?  It is important to…

    Easter Sunday Reflections: Promise and Strength

    April 24, 2011 /

    Easter, a beautiful day of Bonnets, Baskets and yummy chocolate-Bunnies. But first and foremost it is a day of promise.  A promise fulfilled, a promise for today, and a promise to come. “Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow!”Where do you find your strength?  It is easy to lose heart when we don’t remember the promises of God.  Today at church our pastor reminded us of some wonderful verses to hold on tight to. I hope they can help you:Are you… TroubledPsalm 9:9 – The Lord is a refugeIsaiah 43: 1-2 “I have called you by name; you are mine”DiscouragedJoshua 1:9 – He will be with you where ever you goPsalm 27:14 – “Be brave and…

    Let books be your dining table,And you shall be full of delightsLet them be your mattressAnd you shall sleep restful nights.~Author Unknown Reading is food for the soul!  My boys are blessed with a bookshelf overflowing with books.  In fact, usually the messiest part of their room is books on the floor after being sorted through to find their choice piece of work for the moment, many minutes or hour.  I love books.  I love that THEY love books.  They love to re-read old favorites and they love the gift of a new book. I was excited to learn that Scholastic and Kumon have partnered to offer five free books to children if they do a small…

    “Let’s Move” How Healthy Are You and Your Military Family? – DoD Roundtable

    April 20, 2011 /

    We see it everyday! Sometimes in our own mirror, in family members, at the Exchange, at church/chapel, around town, while visiting family and at the doctor’s office: Many Americans including our children are overweight! We need to get active! The “Let’s Move” campaign is a national effort to improve our health and we need to get going! As the military order goes, “Move Out” on this one! “She said the campaign was focusing on three targets: Diet, Activity and Screen Time.” I am encouraged by the interest of our country’s leaders taking a stand because this is becoming a health care issue with record numbers of childhood diabetes, adult onset…

    Tasty Tuesday Peaches and Cream Pie OH MY!

    Have company….Have desserts ….Have laughter, discussions and seconds. That is just what we did this weekend. Friends over, Easter candy out in dishes, Blackberry Grunt and Peaches and Cream Pie warm from the oven….OH MY! Somehow the clock propelled around it’s face faster than a comet across the sky. Seem great friends come with military families. With friends come some great recipes that were first tasted in Kadena, or Osan; perhaps Ramstein or Queensland. This peaches and cream pie hit my taste buds in Florida. Sunshine state lit up my curiosity and the ‘chef’ handed it over!Now it is yours to share at your table. Enjoy! Peaches and Cream Pie3/4…
