Firework Safety For The 4th Of July And All Summer
It's that magical time of year where we get to play our favorite game "Fireworks or Gunshots". If you live in the country, like I do, you know what I'm talking about. So, it's the perfect opportunity to talk about firework safety. This is important because I was involved in an accident with fireworks when I was a child. Mistakes can happen in a second. Be safe!

Day Trip: Have You Seen Maine’s Best Sand Dollar Beach?
It's on my summer bucket list! See more Maine beaches! Aside from seashells and sea glass, my kids love searching for sand dollars on the beach. The sense of pride they have when they find one is always fun to watch. For me, it's not easy finding them. But, I'm going to have to check out this beach. Maybe my luck will improve.

Speak Out Against BULLYING Once And For All!!
Recently, I've noticed a huge amount of bullying in Central Maine. I've seen it on a personal level...I've heard about it through friends & their kids...I've even seen people posting about their child getting bullied on Facebook. Maybe it's because school is almost over and kids are anxious for summer. Whatever the reason, I am appalled by this increase of bullying.
