Family reunions do not happen every year, once in five years is already a feat for the organizer. Gathering relatives from different parts of the world is not as easy as it seems, the get-together should be planned ahead and scheduled a year before the exact date of the event since most of them requires early notice for their vacation leave.
Every reunion commemorates life and a healthy well-being. The presence of each family member is a memorable experience for all the reunion goers. They get to talk and share the moments that happened in the past years. Children get to socialize and interact with their cousins and siblings. Family reunions are the type of events that needs to be remembered but how can we make it extra special? Through keepsakes and souvenirs, though they are simple things they tend to keep the memory alive. It is a way of saying thank you for the things that they have done for the family.
Here are some tips to make the event more meaningful:
Reunion shirts are one of the many things that the organizer can suggest. http://www.zazzle.com/i_heart_love_family_reunions_tshirt-235901903404291188 offers pre-designed t-shirts that say: I Family Reunions. After the reunion, the members can still use the shirt for it does not need renewal every year.
Create a free Family Tree using http://www.familytreetemplates.net/ , these are perfect for genealogy and family reunions. Everyone in the family can trace their ancestors and teach the younger generation.
Prepare memory games like “Who’s who?” It’s a game for older generations. The mechanics are simple. First, let the participants write down in a piece of paper the most unforgettable memory they have with another family member (sister, brother, mom, grandma, etc.). After which, the game host will pick one from the bowl and tells the secret and let the other members guess who that person is. It will fun!
Suggest each family to bring a dish, including a recipe card. Collect all the recipes in one box and craft a book to share out at the next reunion.
Organize it with love for it is one of the family events that will be cherished forever.

Traveling can be so much fun whether it is related with work or just purely leisure. People always get excited whenever they are set for another adventure because they get to see another place with completely different cultures which includes food, place and even the weather itself. Understanding another place’s culture is way more exciting than discovering your own home town and listing down your plans from how to get there until how to get back is very important.
Planning an activity for yourself or for the whole family is not an easy task to do because you have unlike ideas on what place to visit or even where to dine. Once you don’t coincide with the other person’s plan then you might just ruin your trip. Planning ahead and listing everything down means a lot especially when it’s your first time to travel without a tourist guide.
Here are the things you have to consider:
Where to Sleep – Unfamiliar places requires safety. Always find a place to stay in prior to your trip. If it’s in another country, always seek help from your travel agency. I’m sure they can provide you the list of best places to stay.
Where to Shop – Browse online and search for the best places to shop. Make sure not to forget the arts and crafts that are being sold by the locals. Always stick to your budget and buy only the things that you really need or want.
Where to Eat – Jot down the places you want to visit, including restaurants or sea food markets. This will help give you thoughts and prevent being completely lost when you arrive and do not know what to do. Make sure to try their delicacies and signature dishes.
What to See – Plan around your location. Write down the places you want to check out like museums, leisure and theme parks, malls or even their historical places.
Creating a tripper’s notebook will not only help you plan your activity but it would also budget your time in a certain place. Of course, you don’t want to spend your time walking in unfamiliar places with nothing really interesting.

During the payment process many online stores will have a field to enter a coupon or promotion code. Entering a special code will give you a discounted rate or free extras. In our world......

Not sure that I have ever divulged this to anyone but family, but, my first Christmas being married I got an awesome gift! (In an unexpected way!)
I got up on Christmas Day and got things moving, Grandma Lillie was up and ready to open presents, Bill was up, and our little baby was up barely! We were all opening gifts, and I was so excited to see what was in this huge box, but Bill made me wait…I had other things to open first. Once I was allowed to open this big box, I dove right in…it was heavy!
I saw the outside of the box…it was one box inside of another, and the outside of this box had a picture of a little office heater…needless to say, I was less than enthused! so, I quit opening and set it to the side, thinking that was it.
Apparently it wasn’t it. Nope, I had to endure opening up this stupid heater, that I did not want, and thought was a dumb gift. I really didn’t want this gift…and apparently, he was getting the idea. I tried to make him happy and I opened up the box, and to my surprise there was a brick or rock in the bottom of the box with a smaller box on top. Hmmm….this looked more promising, and I felt like an *bleep*! But, when I opened it, I found jewelry!!! Yes, my thoughtful husband bought me jewelry!!!!!
That is when I should have remembered that my hubby likes to tease, and he likes giving surprises! Even now I sometimes forget! But, I haven’t had any heaters or rocks since!! lol

I read an article not too long ago, it was all around web 2.0 moms, and how it takes a village or an online village to raise a family.Although I am online more than I am not typically, I have issues with this thought.
Here is why I have issues:
As moms, its our job to watch over our children and to lean on our friends, neighbors, Visiting Teachers, and Home Teachers.
Relying on people we only know online, we risk alienating those around us who know us in person and who can do more than just help us in cyber world.
If we rely completely on our online friends, we may be teaching our children to do the same.
There is good and bad to the internet, and if we lose sight of what we are doing we may be teaching our children the wrong things.
Okay, now for why I like the idea of moms connecting online:
Sometimes we just need a friend, and we don’t always have one nearby.
The internet is a great place to find information, to learn and to find friends.
The internet is also a great place for moms to find avenues to express themselves, whether it is to blog, to sell, to work from home, etc.
By knowing how the internet works, how to navigate it, and what the good and bad is and how to make sure our kids are able to avoid the bad online, we can avoid the bad and focus on the good.
Now days, people don’t stay in neighborhoods as long as they used to, some areas are a little different, but, the majority of people just don’t stay in one place for very long. Many women feel alone, and don’t have the support they need. I understand this, and so do many other women. There are LDS women’s sites where you can go to talk and socialize and know that you are talking to other women who have the same values as you do.
