July 3, 2006

It’s that time again! Fire up the grill, get that bathing suit on and watch out for flying fireworks because July 4th is upon us! Whether you are spending the day outdoors or taking in a movie, we hope you will remember the reason for the day. Please keep our military personnel and their families in your hearts and minds this Independence Day. Without their personal sacrifices and commitment to the safety and freedom of our country throughout the years, things might just be a little different around here. I invite you to stop by and give them a big thank you for all they do!

 

Military Families

Military Parents

Also, please remember firework safety during this holiday!

  • Never allow children to handle, play with or light fireworks.
  • Keep plenty of water on hand and follow all directions closely.
  • Only buy fireworks from reliable, licensed dealers.
  • Use common sense! Keep them out of pockets, make sure the pets are safely secured and keep your distance!

Have a great holiday!

***Stuff We Love: Travel with Kids? Good to Go

Getting from point A to B with kids in tow is its own special kind of escapade. We've found five goodies-to-go — in the form of travel games and accessories — for keeping the backseat bunch entertained (especially if they're wiggly little ones) and interested (especially if they're tweens or teens who are in the "this is boring" phase), for a most excellent adventure. Happy trails.

***5 Essential Strategies to Combat Aging

How to keep your mind sharp and your body young by Dr. Gary Small.  Genetics accounts for only one-third of what determines our health as we age. That means that simple everyday lifestyle choices have a major impact on how well and how long we live. Empowering ourselves for the future requires learning new skills as well as honing the ones we already have. Try some of these strategies to live longer and feel and look younger.

***Sex on My Desk... the blog

My job as the Love & Sex Editor is creative, challenging and fun. But when I started at iVillage, the channel was much more about romance and dating than sex and men. And no topic is off-limits. You won't believe what I consider a "typical" day. But why should I have all the fun? Now you can read all about it -- from my water cooler to yours.
