Back to School -Make It Fun

At the end of each school year, there's usually a lot of hoopla surrounding the start of summer. Schools hold carnivals. Families throw picnics and pool parties. Why not do the same for back to school??

With a little planning, the end of summer and start of the school year can be just as much fun. Check Out  some ideas for throwing a back to school party that will help the kids look forward to the year. You might even turn one of these suggestions into a family tradition that gets repeated year after year.

1. Host a Back to School Party for a Cause
School supply shopping can put a strain on family’s budget. If your family and friends are in a position to help others, how about throwing a backpack-stuffing party with your kids?

2. Throw a Back to School Bash
Put an end to summer vacation with a school-themed party.


3. Host a Backyard Campout
Soon enough, the weather will turn cold and the schedule will be filled with soccer lessons, field trips and homework assignments. Better squeeze in a night of backyard camping before it’s too late.

4. Hold a Back to School Fashion Show
Once all the back-to-school clothes shopping is done, have your child invite friends over for a fashion show.

5.Plan Your Own Family Tradition
Back-to-school season is a chance for fresh starts. Why not launch your own ritual that celebrates new beginnings?

A Happier Pet

The responsibility that comes with having a pet is not to be taken lightly. It is up to you to make sure that your pet's needs are met and that you have done everything in your power to make your pet's life a happy one.

1. Make sure your pet has an ID tag. The ID tag tells where your pet lives and of any medical conditions your pet may have. If your pet wanders off, it may be the only thing standing between your pet and the pound!

2. Prevent behavioral problems by enrolling your pet in a behavior training class before it acquires any bad habits.

3. Get your pet a check up from a vet at least once a year.

4. Prepare for disasters. Your pet cannot read the escape plan you have made for your family in case of a flood, fire, or other disaster! Make sure your escape plans include someone in your family having the job of securing or gathering up and removing your pet from your home and taking them to a safe place.

5. Plan for the future. Who will take care of your pet if something happens to you? Make sure you have a "godparent" for all of your pets. This includes short term care as well if you are in the hospital, incapacitated, or out of town.

6. Have a heart –Have your pet neutered or spayed as soon as they are old enough. If you can't afford to have your pet spayed or neutered you may be able to get a voucher to help with the expense.

A few simple steps to keep you and your pet happy for a long, long time.

Are You Ready in Case of an Emergency ?

Are You Ready?


You may need to survive on your own after a disaster. This means having your own food, water, and other supplies in sufficient quantity to last for at least three days. Basic services such as electricity, gas, water, sewage treatment, and telephones may be cut off for days, or even a week or longer. You may have to evacuate at a moment’s notice and take essentials with you. You probably will not have the opportunity to shop or search for the supplies you need.

Determine what items you  have on hand and in what quantities.

After doing an inventory, start tackling your  shopping lists.

Develope your  personal emergency plan.

Make sure you’ll be ready whether at home, work, or on the road.

Don't forget about the family pets!
