	Dizzybusy! I was maneuvering out of the parking lot when Dylan announced: “Mom, my PE teacher told me to tell you to teach me how to tie my shoes. He’s tired of tying them for me.”		The Real Rat Race The 20th century was all about achievement, recognition, wealth and material signs of success. Now we live in a world that judges us by what we accomplish, not by who we are.
	Dizzybusy Kids The sad part is that our kids are experiencing this disconnect, too. According to recent studies, today’s children are feeling stressed, isolated and pessimistic about life.		Frantic Frazzled Families Have you ever been in such a hurry that you’ve left the fast food drive-through without the food? Well, you are not alone…
	The Little Things The little things really are the big things. People don’t remember what you say or what you do nearly as much as how you make them feel.		The Family Vaccination We are just as busy fighting wars inside our homes as we are outside. Our weapon of choice is rules... shielding them from negative inﬂuences will never be enough.
	The Surprisingly Simple Secret We remember most fondly the simple family events: reading by ﬂashlight on the annual summer camping trip or lying like sardines on Aunt Teri’s quilt watching the 4th of July fireworks.		Building happyhomes A happyhome is more than a place to live. It’s an emotional haven for life’s ups and downs. It’s the quality of connection we have with others that makes us feel “at home” no matter where we are.
	happyhome habits The happyhome habits are the key ingredients to a healthy diet for modern day family life. These habits are like vitamins for the soul; they protect our families from the inside out.		happyhomes Don’t Just Happen The best way to protect our loved ones is to instill strong family values and create strong family ties. Children need a safe and loving environment to learn how to behave...
	Letting Go & Saying No A simple way to conquer the dizzybusy habit is to eliminate anything that doesn’t add value to your life. Ask yourself, "Do I need it?" and "Do I love it?"		Good Parenting: Less is More Although they think they are helping, micro-managing parents don’t realize the negative impact this parenting style can have on children — and on themselves.
	Power Parenting Plus We need to be efficient, selective and focused. We need to pack a lot of power into a few simple tasks…sort of like the power workout we read about in health magazines: exercises that make the biggest impact in the shortest amount of time.		Chaos to Connection Research shows that our dizzybusy lifestyles are negatively affecting our children even more than we thought. The lack of connection with loved ones is causing them to feel anxious, stressed and pessimistic about life.
	Holiday Harmony Ask a thousand people to tell you about their favorite childhood memory and most of them will talk about family holidays, vacations, traditions and rituals.		Marriage Survival Secrets We always hear people talk about how much work it is to keep a relationship alive. But the truth is, it’s not that difficult - if you know what to do.
	The Five Realities of Family Life The biggest problem for most of us is time. Our modern, hectic lifestyles don’t leave us the time to sit down to dinner and talk, let alone organize memories.		Seven Keys to Strong Family Ties What do strong, caring, happy families do to stay connected?
	Little Lessons Big Values The simple fact is: talk doesn't create change. We need practical tools to move us from inspiration to action, and to help us weave these new habits into our daily busy lives.
