I came across a really interesting poll in Family Activities and Travel this month, posted by Millbrook Mom. The poll asked for the most unusual places you had traveled to with your kids, or hope to travel to. The answers were very inspiring: from Turkey to Steamboat Rock in Washington State, and from camping to snorkeling adventures. Check out this forum for more inspiring and helpful ideas about traveling this summer with your family!

If the comforts of home and family are more your style, we have another poll that might interest you! Is there something that belongs to your significant other that reminds you of him/her, and gives you comfort while your loved one is away? From fleece sweaters, to housecoats and cologne you can find lots of sentimental answers in Sex, Marriage and Relationships.

See you in the forums,

Hot Tips to Keep You Cool - From firefighter Shane Ferguson:

Fire drills aren’t just for schools and businesses, they’re especially important at home. So gather your family, draw up a floor plan, and be sure that all family members know 2 exits out of every room, and have a common meeting place outside the home. Then practice your fire drill, so that your family is ready if ever fire should strike.

For more fire safety tips visit Shane's website, Staying Alive
