  • Back to School… It’s Here!!!

    From Christopher Byrne on July 23rd, 2010

    You’ve probably just settled into your summer routines, and the last thing you want to think about is going back to school. Join the club. If you think that time is flying, you’re not alone, but with many students going back to school in mid-August, the time to think about getting ready is now. And retailers know that as well. If you’ve been shopping lately, you notice that the store shelves are full of Back to School Items, and the National Retail Federation estimates that sales will be up 11 percent this season. That’s good news as economists will be watching spending during this period closely as a potential forecast of Q4 sales.

  • Mind Your Table Manners—It May Matter Later

    From Christopher Byrne on July 13th, 2010

    When it came to table manners, I grew up in a very strict home. I mean, really strict. My brothers and I were constantly corrected about which fork to pick up, how to hold the flatware, where to put the napkin, how to chew and so forth. It was a constant battle for my parents with four rowdy boys who thought the height of hilarity was flinging a roll across the table when one said, “Please pass…” Or that peas or lima beans (ick) could be effective weapons when catapulted with a spoon. Still, mom and dad were tireless, saying we’d thank them later.

  • Time to Play: Beach Bum Baby Essentials

    From Guest Blogger on July 12th, 2010

    It’s that time of year again and families all over are heading to the beach. We head to the shore every weekend from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Yes, I confess, I’m a confirmed beach bum but have realized that heading to the beach with your baby is a lot more work than heading there with just your husband or significant other. Before heading to the sand with your little ones in tow, plan an agenda. Having all the essentials is a great way to make the day on the beach a happy and healthy one. First things first, make sure to lather your children with sunscreen about a half hour to an hour before you head out into the sun. This allows the sunscreen to penetrate the skin and begin to work. Applying every two hours after the first application is recommended by the professionals. Below is a list of my top five beach baby must haves to make your day at the beach a more enjoyable, relaxing and memorable one.
