There is nothing as rewarding as tracing your family history, and when this task is shared with your children it can become an exciting adventure for them. It's wonderful when children can be told about great-great grandparents and this can help instill family pride. But, where do you start?

How To Choose The Perfect Grill
Charcoal or gas? Gas or charcoal? The timeless debate. It is said that over 65% of Americans choose a gas grill over a charcoal grill. For my husband and I when time came to make a decision between charcoal and gas it was gas that was our choice. It wasn't a matter of taste for me, it was a matter of ease. Oh, there are times when I lament the loss of the taste of a burger cooked over charcoal, nothing is quite like it. Some say there isn't much of a taste difference with ham...

Thinking About A Tattoo?
So, you're considering a tattoo. It's quite a step to take. Along with the obvious things to consider like the pain involved, and the risk of infection, I think the most important thing you need to remember is a tattoo's permanence. One of my favorite Jimmy Buffet song lines is a tattoo is a "permanent reminder of a temporary feeling".
Tattoo's have grown in acceptance and have become much more mainstream in the last ten or so years. It's interesting that tattoo businesses...
Head Lice Treatment Tips
There was some news last week from the Center for Disease Control that some head lice are becoming harder to treat. They have apparently done an evolutionary type of "change" and some seem to be adapting to specific shampoos used to eradicate them. This could be a parents worst nightmare. Take heart however, pyrethrin shampoos are still the best way to get rid of head lice.
Head lice seem to be very hardy bugs and have been around for thousands of years. They are very cont...

Baby Monitor Technology
Having a baby can be a nerve wracking experience for new parents - not the nine months of pregnancy, I'm talking about after the infant is brought home from the hospital. It's always the same thing, by the time they have their third child they have it all figured out, but with number one it's a learning thing.
