guest post by Wendy (former Mom Spark writer) www.Wesnlani.com I love looking for fun and creative ways to display my children’s artwork, writing, and funny things they say. Suzanne posted about a collage that she created with her son’s artwork using Snapfish. I often use these items in my scrapbooks. Here are a few examples.

I will start by sharing a few of my tips about wrangling my little ones in big crowds but what I am hoping for out of this post is a lot of comments and tips from all of you readers. Lets start a conversation about this because it is summer travel time and whether you plan on being a tourist or if your town becomes flooded with tourists in the summer, it is always good to have a plan when you are dealing with big…
With all of the distractions of video games, television, and computers families face every day, we often forget to just take a breath and spend some time outside.

Here are a few pictures from our spin art experiment – it’s so easy, even a 3 year old can do it! Jaxon has a special art shirt that we don’t mind getting messy:
While chatting with a friend yesterday, I found out that she had left her 9 year-old home alone while the rest of the family went out to eat. I was very shocked to hear this as this seems very young to me, but she felt peace about it. She told me that she trusted him and didn’t worry about it at all. I then started wondering if I were an overprotective mother, because I was baffled. However, I did grow up home alone at an…
