Classic Games for Kids
In the age of video games and high-end toys, adults may be surprised to find that classic children’s games still have the capacity to engage and divert. In fact, many traditional kids’ games stem from playground, street and neighborhood activities and games children invented or adapted over time. No matter what games you introduce, the saying, “It doesn’t matter if you win or lose; it’s how you play the game,” still applies. Players should focus on enjoying the game and ensuring everyone has a turn and participates rather than worrying about who wins and who loses.
Ideas for a Kid’s Birthday Party
A kid’s birthday party should center around the guest of honor.

Determine a schedule together, and prepare yourselves to throw out the schedule if the guests have different ideas.
In Sickness and in Health? Not Really…

Statistics say many of those marriages are in trouble to begin with, although when roles are reversed, only three percent of women leave their husbands. It makes me wonder what part of in sickness and in health do men not remember? I know of a man who left his wife after her diagnosis. Not only did he abandon her, he left their 10-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter to become their mothers primary caregivers. What kind of man does that? What kind of message is he sending his son? Another breast cancer husband I know was so unsympathetic during his wifes chemotherapy he actually told her to take an aspirin and snap out of it. OK, so most men were not raised to be caregivers, or they want their wives, girlfriends and mothers to take care of them. In addition they may be afraid of acknowledging their mortality and yours, and they may be afraid of how breast cancer will affect their sex lives. Notice I said their sex lives.
