Future City Competition

I had the fun and exciting pleasure to enjoy the Future City finals in Washington DC last week. Our  future is in good hands as far as I can see. These kids are planning for the future and the future is looking fabulous with such innovative thinkers.. Future City is a project-based learning program where students around the country in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades use their imagination to research, design, and build cities of the future.  This year the finals took place in Washington, DC on February 21, 2017,  where students from West Ridge Middle School in Texas (North) won the competition. Way to go kids!  [Read more…]

Bucket List Examples

Bucket List Examples – Making your custom Family Bucket List – My family, just like yours, has things that we want to do together.  We talk about going on a hike to our favorite waterfall in the nearby state park, but we also dream about going to Atlantic Canada, seeing the whales, and watching the tide rise 40+ feet at the Bay of Fundy.  Some things are easy to do and others would take some planning.  So together we decided to come up with the Miller Family Bucket List.   What’s a “bucket list”, you ask?  Isn’t that something adults put together before they die?  No, no, it doesn’t have to be like that!  That’s just for the movies!   A family bucket list is simply a list of things your family wants to do together over the course of a lifetime.  Maybe you could say “before all the kids grow up”, but a family is a family no matter how old its members are!  Now, onto my bucket list examples so you can build a custom bucket list with your family!

Competitive Edge Woodbridge VA Family Fun Day

By Leave a Comment

Family Fun Day at Competitive Edge of Woodbridge VA – On February 4th, 2017, Competitive Edge in Woodbridge, Virginia celebrated their first year in business by hosting a free family fun day for all to enjoy.  Competitive Edge is a great place to take the family to keep them active, burn some energy and learn healthy habits that will last a lifetime.

We weren’t sure what to get into first when we arrived at the center!  There was a golf training station with a virtual screen, Zumba demonstrations, a curve-ball machine to practice our baseball swings and Vertimax assessments to see how high we could jump.  When we had worked up an appetite, there were food tastings, food trucks and a nutrition counselor to explain what food choices we could make to keep our bodies and our minds in tip top shape.  There was a massage chair to get the kinks out and even a birthday cake to indulge our sweet tooth as we celebrated a successful year in business for Competitive Edge.  [Read more…]

Cooking Bacon in the Oven

By Leave a Comment

Cooking Bacon in the Oven – I started baking my bacon about 5 years ago! Why, you may be wondering? Well, frying bacon takes time, causes a considerable amount of splatter, and that splatter hurts! It was like life was revolutionized when I started cooking bacon in the oven. When I’m making breakfast or a Sunday brunch I simply pop it in the oven and go about whatever other chores or recipes I’m working on. No more standing and frying pay after pan of bacon!
