How to You don’t even need to leave your yard to find some interesting leaves this autumn. Let kids know about your plans so they can collect leaves all season long. Or get together and give everyone a goal, say 10 leaves, for collecting. Make sure you’re well-equipped with paper of various colors and thicknesses, as well as colored pencils of every shade.

Do it better Have kids cut out their favorite leaf rubbings and glue them onto folded construction paper. Turn them into Thanksgiving cards for friends and family or placecards for your Thanksgiving table.

How to Use the orchard directory on www.PickYourOwn.org to find u-pick orchards nearby and information about ancillary services they may provide.

“On any autumn weekend day, you’ll find people of all ages, those with and without children, young couples and grandparents, at an apple orchard,” says Blake Slemmer, creator of www.PickYourOwn.org. “They’re there to reconnect with nature and farms, pick fresh apples right off the tree, taste fresh-made apple cider, go on a hay ride … and often enjoy music, entertainment, farm animals and foods to taste.”

How to For some, an ooey-gooey marshmallow, smothered in melted chocolate and sandwiched between two crispy graham crackers might just be heaven on earth. For others, it’s the atmosphere of a campfire that keeps them coming back for more.

Count down to winter by gathering weekly with family and friends to enjoy each other and a good old s’more.

Apple picking

Do it better When you bring your apple treasures home, plan for the whole family to whip up a special treat together. Don your aprons and search the Web for recipes (or see Page 13) that take your delectable fruit to the next level in the form of a crumble, crisp or buckle.

Campfire countdown

Do it better If outdoor space allows, end the campfire season with a full-blown campout. Pitch a tent in your backyard and head out for a night under the stars with all the amenities of your home turf. Take it a step further by inviting the neighbors to bring their own tents and cook dinner over the fire, too.

PARENTING

keep a good connection

By Molly Logan Anderson Special to The Eagle

L

ong gone is the ideal short commute to a 9-to-5 job. For

many folks, the boundaries in which they search for work continue to stretch, including lots of drive time or out-of-town travel. For parents facing these types of workrelated requirements, staying connected to the home front can be a challenge. If travel is a mandatory component of your career, read on for expert tips on how to remain involved at home while traveling far away.

PARENTING

Maintain daily contact

Keep studies a top priority

“The bond between parents and children must be continually nourished to remain strong, especially during periods of separation,” says Elaine M. Hunter, author of “Parenting Away From Home: 301 Preparations, Tips, and Reminders” and traveling mother of two. “Neglecting to stay connected during times apart can create insecurity, resentfulness, anger and other feelings that can weaken the parent-child relationship.”

Use all means at your disposal to build your connection, including texting, calls, email or social networking. Reinforce your presence by returning missed calls promptly.

Just because you’re on the road doesn’t mean that you can’t participate with schoolwork. Take advantage of technology and use email, fax machines or the phone to review homework or assist with studying.

For the youngest kids at home that don’t yet have nightly assignments, consider making a recorded book with your voice so your little ones can hear you anytime. While listening to you, they won’t even realize that they’re brushing up on their pre-reading skills.

Communicate Promote face-to-face understanding Invest in good webcam technology or video calling software in order to share important events from afar. Singing a lullaby or reading a bedtime story via your computer is the next best thing to being there.

“Face-to-face contact allows families to interact with each other visually and communicate more effectively by observing each other’s verbal and non-verbal expressions,” says Hunter. “Seeing each other’s face is also comforting, and parents can confirm their kids’ well-being.”

Families with regularly traveling parents face unique challenges and must pull together to ensure that the children get what they need in terms of information.

“Parents can make separating less challenging by helping their kids understand the reasons and importance of their travels, and by communicating frequently with them while away,” Hunter says.

Kids certainly will develop a better understanding as they grow, but their growing may lead to more difficult communication, advises Hunter. She recommends scheduling times to talk and agreeing on the best means of contact. Creating understanding and a plan for communication will help families stay connected.

bigstockphoto.com

Give support from afar Don’t let your travels keep you from being your children’s biggest fan. If important activities are scheduled while you’re gone, show your support by remembering them and calling ahead of time to boost your child’s confidence.

Knowing you’re rooting for their sporting event, concert or speech even though you’re far away bolsters their self-esteem.

said. “Plastic will damage the items long term. We recommend using sheets or furniture covers. If you are storing for an extended period or if it is really nice furniture, consider using

Hwy 6 between Rock Prairie Road and Emerald Parkway, has more than 500 units with climate control available. They make getting your items in and out of storage a snap with 24/7 access, 18-wheeler accessibility, free local use of their moving truck and free trailer pickup service.

Sowders said the trailer pickup is unique and something All Seasons is very proud of.

“We’re the only one in town to offer this service with delivery,” Sowders said. “We bring the trailer to your house and leave it there for you to load.

When it’s ready to go, we’ll pick it up and bring it here for you to unload. Other places have trailers, but they make you tow it. We do that for you because not everyone is comfortable driving with one of those big trailers or they may not have anything big enough to pull it.”

The units at All Seasons range from 5 x 5 to 10 x 30 for non-climate controlled units and 5 x 5 to 10 x 20 for the climate controlled ones. Sowders said the easy way to decide which you need is where you would store the items at home.

If your items would be in the garage or attic, non-climate

controlled is the way to go. If the items are more sensitive like electronics, photographs, fine furniture or documents, then climate-controlled is needed.

an extremely rare occurrence at All Seasons because of its location, but it is still recommended for long-term storage to use items such as palettes to keep items off the floors. Even though it will probably never happen, it doesn’t hurt to be prepared.

Maximize Your Space – Sowders recommends people take steps to maximize the space in their storage units.

Turning a couch up on its end takes up less floor space and takes advantage of the vertical capacity of a storage unit.

Stacking boxes both under and on top of tables also maximizes space. “Our ceilings at All Seasons are approximately 10 to 12 feet tall,” Sowders said. “If you stack your items well, you can make a smaller space work for you.”

Think Access – There are some items you are more likely to want access to while in storage. Store these items close to the door. This allows you to pack your storage unit tightly and still be able to get to what you need.

Check the Amenities – The best way to protect your items is to choose a storage facility that offers the best security and units. All Seasons Storage Centers, located on the east side of

KITCHEN TABLE DESIGN

Centerpiece of attention Simple but stunning centerpieces for the kitchen table

By Mary Carol Garrity | Special to The Eagle

N

o matter how crazy our schedules get, several nights a week my family tries to enjoy a meal at home. Why not make such an important family gathering spot as the kitchen table as beautiful as it is welcoming, by dressing it up with a stunning but simple centerpiece? Here are a few ideas to get you started.

10

Make your all-important family gathering spot as beautiful as it is welcoming by dressing it up with a stunning but simple centerpiece.

Story-tellers

Simple beauty

Lamps and fruit

Sometimes, I like to tell stories with my centerpiece designs.

I’ve come up with some whoppers for my dining room table. But on my kitchen table, I try to keep things simple since this is a hardworking spot where function is paramount.

Your centerpiece must not only be scaled appropriately for your kitchen and the table, it must also allow ample room for place settings and serving pieces. In addition, be sure it is short enough to see over so it doesn’t create a barrier to good discussion.

One possibility includes a wooden dough bowl and pays tribute to the sea. Featuring the soft color palette of a restful beach, it pulls together iconic yet interesting accents that seem to have a tale to tell: a weathered hurricane lamp, a bowl made from driftwood and a stack of seashells.

You could use all sorts of decorative tools to serve as the base of your kitchentable tableau, like a tray or a framed mirror. Then, use your creativity to come up with a scene that speaks to you and your family.

People have been using flowers to dress up kitchen tables since the dawn of time, and no wonder. Beautiful blossoms make everything lovely. I think simple bouquets of yellow flowers, unceremoniously scattered in a cluster of green pottery vases, can be the perfect finishing touches to a great kitchen table.

To pull off this supersimple look, pick out a quartet of similar green pottery vases. The variations in size and shape will give the display more movement and visual interest. If you like, snip some blossoms from your garden and tuck them willynilly into the vases. Or pick up an inexpensive cash-and-carry bouquet from the grocery store.

The key is to make the bouquets look freshly picked.

For a variation on this, get three to five matching vases and line them up at regular intervals down the middle of your table.

Then, fill them with cuttings from your garden, from budding branches in the spring to evergreen boughs in the winter. By keeping the vases low and the bouquets tightly cropped, the overall display won’t be intrusive.

Hurricane lamps are one of my favorite decorating building blocks because you can reinvent them over and over again.

Perfect chameleons, they instantly take on the look and feel of any display they are used in.

Try making a simple-but-spunky centerpiece using three hurricanes, each filled with a few fresh lemons and limes. To give the grouping more visual interest, place one hurricane on a riser.

Another fabulous way to use fresh fruit in a kitchen-table centerpiece is to simply place it in a lovely bowl. I like to fill a blue-and-white Asian pottery bowl with green apples in the summer; in the fall, it’s red pears. Another look that’s grabbed my attention right now is placing a long, narrow tray at the table’s center and filling it with a line of fruit, like a row of apples.

PREP YOUR GARDEN

Think spring E

By Wynne Everett | Special to The Eagle

Bring the houseplants indoors. They’ve enjoyed the long, warm summer days outside, but it’s time to scout a good sunny spot for those them now in your house.

Fertilize your lawn. Late-season fertilizing, usually in September, helps your grass develop a good root system so it will come up nice and green in the spring.

Check the mulch. Look at the mulch in your flower beds and garden. Sometimes, this protective layer erodes during summer, so you might want to replenish. You want a 2- or 3-inch layer.

Consider what plants need to be pruned. Fall is the best time to prune deciduous shrubs and trees. (Don’t touch those evergreens, though. They should be pruned in the spring.) If you want to prune your trees and shrubs, wait until after the first frost.

Plant bulbs. Those beautiful early-season flowers should be planted now. Though it’s easy to forget these little gems once they’re underground, be sure to water them as you would any other plant so they can develop strong roots.

Catch up with weeding. OK, this one isn’t any fun, especially if you’ve been avoiding it for the final weeks of summer. But weeding now can save you some effort next year.

Get your lawn and garden ready for spring with a few chores this fall

veryone’s sick of the lawn mower, the watering can and the weeding duties by this time of the year, but don’t pack away your tools just yet. Investing a little time and money this fall can set you up for great-looking, healthy plants next spring. Plant clinic assistant Sharon Yiesla of the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Ill., said avid gardeners can make the most of the season’s last warm weekends. “There are a lot gardeners can do in the fall. It’s not a one-day thing,” she said.

KNOW WHEN TO TRADE

tech for cash

Electronics buy-back programs are booming

By Dan Rafter Special to The Eagle

Y

our digital camera is such an energy hog that you’re going broke one pack of AA batteries at a time. The only game your cellphone can play is Pong. And your laptop is so old it weighs more than your desktop.

It’s time to upgrade to new technology. But what do you do with your unwanted digital camera, cellphone or laptop?

12

Today, you can sell them.

Scour the Web and you’ll find a host of online companies to which you can sell your used electronics.

Even big names such as Best Buy have entered this business.

The good news? Reelling your old electronics is a simple process. And it’s far more lucrative than stowing your old MP3 player or cellphone on a closet shelf and forgetting about it.

“Everybody wants to make an extra buck,” said Brett Mosley, founder of BuyMyTronics.com, which allows

you to sell back everything from cellphones and digital cameras to laptops and tablets.

“That’s something that never goes away. Then you consider the Earthfriendly nature of this: Throwing away electronics is a horrible thing to do to the environment. Recycling them in this way is the environmentally responsible thing to do.”

How it works The buy-back process is usually a simple one. At BuyMyTronics, you’ll enter your product’s model number in a search bar. After entering information on the condition of your item, you can then calculate a selling price.

If you like the price, you click the “Sell Now” button.

Once you’ve checked out, BuyMyTronics will send you either a free label to print and attach to your item’s box or a prepaid box — depending on the item’s size — to return to BuyMyTronics by mail.

Within a week of the product’s arrival, the company will send your

payment either through a check or through a direct deposit to your PayPal account.

What’s it worth?

Of course, the big question is how much that old iPod will fetch. That varies from site to site. For instance, a used iPod Touch 8GB fourth-generation model in good working order will fetch about $72 at electronics buy-back site NextWorth.com. The same site is offering $217.50 for an iPad 2 32GB model with WiFi in good working order.

Factors such as a gadget’s age, condition and working order will influence the price that sites quote you.

“There is a lot of value in the consumer electronics that people put on a shelf or throw away when they get something new,” said Jeff Trachsel, chief marketing officer for NextWorth. “These things tend to hold up in residual value. We’ve tried to make people aware that there are options out there beyond putting something

in the back of their closet.”

Look out for scams As with any growing business — and the electronics buy-back business certainly is experiencing a growth spurt —you do have to be careful of scam sites that promise to send you money for your used electronics while having no intention of actually paying out.

The best way to spot a scammer is to use your own judgment. Reputable buy-back sites have well-designed websites. They also have phone numbers — not just email addresses — that you can use to contact a customer-relations department. Further, they have actual customer-relations departments.

You can also run a check on companies with the Better Business Bureau in an attempt to weed out scammers.

Finally, run a simple Google search on companies’ names. This will usually pull up any complaints that consumers have with a certain website.

new research on cavities, staying active and good-for-you foods

by Danielle braff | Special to The Eagle

40%

Meal planning Spending just an hour or two on the weekends planning and shopping for the week’s meals will help keep your entire family healthy. a recent survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that nearly 40 percent of people who were able to successfully lose weight and keep it off were also the same people who planned their weekly meals instead of winging it.

Thursday, September 15, 2011____________shopbrazos.com____________The Eagle

Focus on Health

A healthy oil Canola oil has always made food taste better, but here’s another plus: new research published in the journal nutrition and Cancer finds that eating 3⁄4 of a tablespoon daily can reduce the incidence of colon cancer by 60 percent. You can thank the omega-3 fatty acids present in the oil for that little treat — and your kids will thank you when homemade fries return to the dinner menu.

the new superfruit now that blueberry season is officially over, try sneaking some baobab into your children’s lunchboxes. It is a new superfruit that comes as a shelf-stable powder that has 10 times more antioxidants than blueberries ($15 for 6 ounces at baobabfoods.com).

Contagious cavities Two recent studies found that cavities are actually contagious.

You can get them from your spouse, and you can even give them to your child or baby if you’re sharing food, drinks or utensils. Prevent the spread of cavities by brushing twice daily and visiting the dentist once a year.

Get to sleep Sleep isn’t just good for kids.

It’s also essential for women who don’t want to pack on the pounds. a new study by St. Luke’s roosevelt Hospital in new York finds that women who only manage to get four hours of sleep nightly eat 329 more calories and 31 more grams of fat than the women who sleep for a full night.

Play and burn The next time your kids beg you to join them for a game of ultimate Frisbee, say “yes.” If you spend just a half-hour playing, you’ll burn 100 calories – and your kids will be pleased. Burn even more calories by running, diving and jumping to reach the Frisbee.
