Remember when you learned to ride your first bike? Childhood memories are usually the simplest of things. Jumping in a pile of leaves in the fall, making mudpies, snowball fights, playing in the rain, chasing butterflies, gathering eggs in the hen house, playing "dress up" like mom, hunting with dad, turning the crank on the ice cream.
We all have memories of our childhood that are cherished in our hearts forever. It's not the things that cost the most money, it's the time spent with the ones we love the most that we'll always remember. Young parents of today should always try to spend quality time with their children. It's not what you buy them, but the memories you make together, that they'll look back on when they're grown. The simple pleasures that cost nothing, yet are priceless.

Whenever our family takes a trip, I make it a point to make a scent theme. For example when we traveled to Las Vegas, I had a coconut theme going with coconut shampoo, lotions, soaps, etc.
Into field, pour children and dogs -- allowing to mix well. Pour brook over pebbles til slightly frothy. Cool children and dogs slightly in brook.
Isn't it amazing that God gives us a second chance to make up for the little things we missed out on, or took for granted when we were raising our children? And He does it through this wonderful miracle of life we call Grandchildren!
