Welcome all newcomers and faithful readers!
We're in the middle of lots of graduation hoopla - hope you're all having fun
with your graduates and celebrating them big time. If you're still planning
graduation, this site will help with the detils:
All About Graduations
Father's Day is June 15 this year. Honor, celebrate and pamper your dad. Dads so
deserve the accolades and attention and they cherish it no matter how gruff they
may pretend to be. I don't know one dad who isn't proud as punch over his
children and his contribution to your life is huge, whether positive or
negative. I adore my father. He's proven to be one of the kindest most
compassionate human beings I've ever encountered over the years and his
influence in my life and the lives of my children has always been positive and
inspiring. I know I'm lucky to have a father like him and I'll most certainly be
honoring him on Father's Day. Everything you'll need to make this a great
Father's Day for all the dads in your lives is at:
Rexanne's Father's Day
I'll be taking my annual mini vacation in July and August and this will be the
last newsletter until September. There will be new announcements and exciting
stuff when I return. I'll need the next 2 months to get it all together. :-)
I will still be online and you can always post or find me on our
forum - Hope to see you all there! Or
you can email me. I consider you all family so please stay in touch and don't be
shy! I'd love to hear from you!
Happy Father's Day to all our terrific dads and have a great summer everyone!
See you in September. :-)

"Hey, I wanted to tell you that I ordered a tube of Arnica Gel after you
recommended it in your newsletter and that stuff really works! I bought it for
my grandson who was having his wisdom teeth pulled and after seeing with my own
eyes how well it worked for his swelling and pain, I rubbed some on my arthritic
hands. OH MY! Thank you! It works and I love it!"
Oh Cathy, I am SO happy to hear Arnica Gel worked for your grandson and for you.
Hooray! I love being able to introduce effective and natural remedies that
actually do the job. I had no idea it worked on joints stiff from arthritis,
too, although it makes sense. Knowing it has helped you makes my day!
Parents, this stuff is really amazing. Make sure you have a tube of Arnica Gel
with you while traveling this summer:

Parenting & Family Topic of the Month: Honoring Your
Father
I hope all fathers are honored this Father's Day. A good father or father figure
is the lifeblood of a solid citizen and the foundation of a strong soul. The
following says it beautifully:
"There is something in us—written on our hearts—that says, "Honor your father
and mother." That's how it's stated in the Bible, but you'll find it in all the
world's religions. Ancient Chinese Analects advise, "Surely proper behavior to
parents and elder brothers is the [tree] trunk of goodness."Read the rest of

suggestions and a super kid's section with recipes and ideas to inspire your
children to get their hands messy and learn to cook.
Bon Appetit!

We had the extreme pleasure of receiving a gift box of Geoff and Drew's Gourmet

a a chocolate brown box with colorful polka dots, each deliciously fresh cookie

Tip or Trick of the Month: Broccoli Chips
Getting kids to eat broccoli can be a potential battle which is unfortunate
because broccoli is one of the healthiest foods we can feed our children.
I found a great way to give my kids the benefit of broccoli which could
potentially be a much better source of the nutrients than the cooked variety.
When preparing broccoli, remove most of the stems, cutting off the dried ends.
Peel the stems of all the outer dark green pigment. The remaining stem will be
pale green and easily cut into "chips" (bite-sized pieces) or cut them
lengthwise into sticks. These broccoli "chips" are sweet, crunchy and delicious
and taste much like Jicama, which most children will eagerly devour. Offer
broccoli chips to your kids as a special treat. They'll soon be fighting over
who gets the bigger piece. :-)
Broccoli chips can also be served with dip or tossed in salads.

Time Waster of the Month:
Cafe
Mom
(Because life is supposed to be fun!)
With all the hoopla for Dads and grads this month, I thought I'd post something
for moms, too. :-)
Cafe Mom is an Internet community where moms can connect with other moms in
their area, share stories, find solace and generally interact with like-minded
mothers around the world. Much like what I am trying to achieve with our very
own family forum although I don't see many of you jumping in there to interact.
;-) Try Club Mom - you might fall in love with the social aspect of the
Internet.
Feed the kids first ...

Here's a handy guide to gas prices by zip code, just in time for traveling
season. This list is said to be updated nightly.
In the blue box, enter your zip code at the top right and scroll down for a list
of gas stations in your neighborhood and the price for a gallon.
