Helping moms get finances on track for now and the future Being a mom is a full-time job. No matter how old the children are, a mom is on call at all hours of the day and night, responding to injuries and broken hearts, handling homework questions, setting household rules, and establishing consequences if said rules are broken. But moms often have other jobs as well, juggling household chores, managing finances and often holding a full-time job. Unfortunately, when the work load becomes too much, something can fall by the wayside, and often that something is finances. Only 24 percent of moms report they are satisfied with their current financial situation. They admit they are struggling to make ends meet, or are worried about their financial future, according to the -State of the American Mom Study released by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual) in 2013. “It’s no secret in today’s world that moms are stretched thin, but their finances shouldn’t have to suffer as a
result,” says Tara Reynolds, corporate vice president with MassMutual. Moms can get their finances on track with a few tips from MassMutual: * Be prepared - Emergencies are not predictable, but if you have an emergency fund, you can protect yourself and your future plans for your family if you find yourself in a troubling financial situation. * Protect your income - Families often don’t take into account the salary a stay-at-home mom would earn if she were to be paid for the work she does. If something were to happen to you as a stayat-home mom, preventing you from doing these duties, your family may experience some troubling out-ofpocket expenses. With the help of a financial professional, you can explore financial options to ensure that you’re planning ahead adequately no matter what the future holds. “Luckily, finding an experienced professional for your finances can be easier than finding help for child care
or other things that cause stress for today’s moms,” Reynolds says. “This can make all the difference in helping moms achieve financial security for themselves and their families.” * Plan now, not later - Don’t procrastinate when it comes to planning for your financial future. No one knows what the future will bring, so now is the time to sit down and think about how to pass your assets - but not your taxes - to your heirs. * Have the talk - Schedule a monthly meeting to sit down with
your spouse or significant other - or children if they’re old enough - to discuss your finances. It’s critical for family members to have a full understanding of all debt and assets in order to build a realistic plan. The survey found only one-third of moms currently use the services of a financial professional to help them with their investments and insurance needs. Set up a meeting today to get your finances on track for both your current needs and those of the future. - (BPT)

Remember your pets in this extreme heat, too With extremely hot weather forecasted for the next few days, the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center is urging animal owners to remember that heat affects our pets too. Animals have higher body temperatures than we do and less ability to cool down. Humans are covered with sweat glands, but our pets’ sweat glands are confined to their nose, mouth and pads of the feet. An over-heating dog, for example, can only regulate its own body temperature through panting, which is not terribly effective in extremely hot weather. You can take precautions to keep your pet safe during this heat wave: NEVER, under any circumstance, leave an animal in a parked car. This is very dangerous, as the temperatures inside a car increase greatly in hot weather. Always ensure your pet is kept in a well-ventilated area. It is not appropriate to house a pet in a garage or on a patio. Ideally, during a heat wave, your pet should be kept indoors in a temperature-controlled environment. Be careful when walking your dog on hot pavement. Dogs’ paw pads can easily burn if they are forced to walk on a hot surface. Test the temperature of the pavement by placing your palm on it for one minute. If you can’t take the heat, neither can your dog.
Exercise your dog in the early morning or cool evening hours. Be extra careful with dogs that are brachyalphalic, such as pugs, bulldogs and boxers. These breeds have a tougher time breathing, since their noses are short. If you notice that your pet is panting
excessively, is extremely thirsty, has glazed eyes, or has bright red gums or a tongue, the animal may be overheating. In any of these cases, contact a veterinarian immediately. For more information, or if you are concerned about an animal that may be in distress, call 949-470-3045.
Men give me credit for some genius. All the genius I have is this. When I have a subject in mind. I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. My mind becomes pervaded with it... the effort which I have made is what people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought. ~Alexander Hamilton

Giving your kids the tools for a healthy back-to-school season For moms, family and children are their No. 1 priority. Keeping everyone safe, healthy and happy is a huge part of everyday life. However, each year, parents send their kids back to school knowing they will be exposed to germs, making prevention of sickness a priority. Statistics show that schoolage children can have between seven and 12 colds per year, meaning moms need to be on their guard against germs at home and at school. So what can families to do ensure their students have a healthy, productive school year? This year, Kleenex brand and Box Tops for Education(TM), one of the nation’s largest school fundraising loyalty programs, are working together to share tips for a healthier back-to-school season. Below are some of their top recommendations: * Even though facial tissue is required in every classroom, moms may not be aware of how Kleenex brand tissues can help keep kids’ hands clean - or how they support schools. As a champion of healthy kids and schools, Kleenex brand is supporting this back-to-school season in two ways: by promoting healthy kids with new Kleenex Everyday
Tissue with Sneeze Shield, which is now thicker and more absorbent to help keep the wet stuff off kids’ hands, and as the only facial tissue that participates in Box Tops for Education to help promote healthy schools, donating a total of $13 million to date. Encourage your teachers to help earn more Box Tops for their schools by putting Kleenex brand facial tissues on their back-to-school supply list. * Make bedtime a priority by setting a routine. The National Sleep Foundation estimates that school age children need between 10-11 hours of sleep each night. Sleep is key to a healthy body, and oftentimes families’ relaxed summer mentality can interfere with little ones’ sleep schedules. Don’t try to instate a “go to bed early” mandate the night before school begins; start a few weeks before the first day of school, so children are used to the pattern of “early to bed, early to rise” to synch up with the school year schedule well in advance. Those well-rested minds will be more alert and ready to absorb the day’s lessons when they’ve slept well the night before. * Get up and get going. Help your family stay in shape by encouraging
them to exercise. In 2010, more than one third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese.Help your children burn off that extra energy and stay in shape by arranging for play time outside with friends after school or enrolling them in extracurricular activities like sports and dance.
Setting an example as a family will help children develop healthy exercise habits early on. Furthermore, studies show that exercise fuels increased brain function, which can contribute to better performance in the classroom. - (BPT)
Tips to Get Your Yard Ready for guests Although you may be itching to get back outside, before you can relax there’s work to do. After enduring the wear and tear of fall and winter, most yards need attention to get back into summer shape. These tips from the experts at Sun Joe will help you clean up your entire yard in time for guests so there’s more time to enjoy the great outdoors: Garden – Prepare your planting bed by using a tiller before seeding. Loosening up existing soil helps water and nutrients reach your new plants’ roots. Better yet, add some manure before tilling to create a healthy growing environment. Trees – Spring and summer are all about new life and dead tree limbs hanging around your home can kill the mood. Instead of climbing up a rickety latter with clippers, keep your feet planted and use Sun Joe’s cordless Pole Chain Saw. This lightweight chainsaw allows you to saw off dead limbs and let gravity do the rest… just make sure to stand back using the 15-foot extension. Mulch – Use the mild weather of spring before it gets too hot to lay down or freshen up the mulch around your plants. A thin (2-3 inches deep) layer of mulch around your Page 6
landscape will help keep roots cool in the upcoming summer months and warm when cooler weather inevitably returns again. Grass – When your grass is recovering from the long winter, you should wait until your soil dries out before starting work on your lawn because being too eager and working on soggy soil can harm already tender

new grass roots. Once your grass is alive and growing, mow only once you need to – grass is at its healthiest if you cut no more than a third of the blade. Get your timing right and your neighbors will notice that the grass is always greener on your side. Driveway/Patio – Over the winter months, mildew, grime, dirt and stains have grown in your outdoor spaces,
reduced curb appeal and destroyed your yard. Sun Joe’s line of easy-touse electric pressure washers can make your spaces look brand new, delivering thousands of pounds of water pressure to demolish every square inch of dirt from your driveway, your patio, your sidewalk and even your home’s siding.

Great Performances Celebrate Segerstrom Center for the Arts 30th Anniversary Segerstrom Center for the Arts is celebrating its 30th Anniversary with an array of performances that represent the range of music, dance and theater that have been seen and heard on its stages since opening night of September 29, 1986. Tour de Force III, a dance spectacular, starts things off with performances by Diana Vishneva, Joaquin de Luz, Marcelo Gomes, Denis Matvienko, Marcelino Sambé, Friedemann Vogel, Edward Watson and others. They are followed by opera star Kathleen Battle, Broadway legend Patti LuPone, LA’s Boogaloo Assassins in a free concert on the Arts Plaza, Academy Award-winning composer Alan Menken in the world premiere of his first ever oneman show, and a jazz greats Jazz Weekend. Two superstars appear on a single evening, September 9. Broadway’s Patti Lupone returns to the Center in her one-woman show COULDA, WOULDA, SHOULDA….played that part in Segerstrom Hall. Kathleen Battle will perform her powerful and moving Underground Railroad – A Spiritual Journey in Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall that same evening. Battle will be joined by the California State University, Fullerton Singers directed by Dr. Robert Istad. On September 17, LA-based Latin music sensation Boogaloo Assassins will power up (and get down) on the Arts Plaza for a FREE concert. This is likely to be the final public event on the plaza before it begins its dramatic redesign. Disney aficionados, film buffs and musical theater lovers can expect an evening like no other when eighttime Oscar-winner Alan Menken performs his own music and shares entertaining anecdotes about his unrivaled career in front of a live audience at Segerstrom Center for the Arts. His songs and music have thrilled audiences around the world, and now they will thrill Orange County audiences during the world premiere of his exciting new one-man-show, A Whole New World of Alan Menken, on Friday, September 30, 2016 at 8 p.m. in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Jazz Weekend 2016 kicks off on October 7 with a special double bill concert featuring the SFJAZZ Collective performing a tribute to Miles Davis along with the band’s own compositions and the evening continues with JAZZ 100 marking the 2017 centennial celebration for four visionary talents all born in the same glorious year: Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Mongo Santamaria and Thelonious Monk. On October 8, Los Angeles tenor saxophonist Kamasi Washington makes his Segerstrom Center debut with performances from his latest album, The Epic, featuring his 10-piece band The Next Step and on October 9, Jazz at Lincoln Center with Wynton Marsalis return to the Center for an unforgettable afternoon of music that will include the opening act of drummer and vocalist Jamison Ross. Tickets to paid performances are
available online at SCFTA.org, at the Box Office located at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa or by calling (714) 556-2787. For inquiries about group ticket discounts for 10 or more, call the Group Services office at (714) 755-0236. The Center offers many services for patrons with disabilities including removable wheelchair locations, binoculars and assistive listening devices. To learn more visit SCFTA.org/accessibilityinformation. Tour de Force III, a one-night-only star-studded dance event to celebrate 30 years of presenting the greatest ballet companies and the world’s most celebrated dancers. Tour de Force III will be on Saturday, August 27 in Segerstrom Hall. Produced in collaboration with Ardani Artists, the program will include four Center premieres: Clay by Vladimir Varnava, Zeitgeist by Alastair Marriott, Tristesse by Marcelo Gomes and Le Divertissement du Roi by Maxim Petrov. The international cast includes Diana Vishneva, Joaquin de Luz, Marcelo Gomes, Denis Matvienko, Marcelino Sambé, Friedemann Vogel and Edward Watson, as well as members of the The Royal Ballet, Mariinsky Ballet and the National Ballet of Canada. Patti LuPone is the ideal artist to represent the Center’s 30-year history of presenting Broadway’s top shows. San Francisco Chronicle’s Octavio Roca called LuPone “the American musical theater’s greatest living star.” The two-time Tony Award® winner has portrayed many of Broadway’s most memorable leading ladies, including Mama Rose in Gypsy, Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd and Eva Perón in Evita. In COULDA, WOULDA, SHOULDA….played that part, she performs songs from musicals which she could have played, should have played, did play and will play. The list of shows includes Hair, Bye, Bye, Birdie, Funny Girl, West Side Story and Peter Pan as well as selections from her own Tony Award-winning performances in Evita and Gypsy. Nelson Pressley of The Washington Post praised LuPone’s performance in COULDA, WOULDA, SHOULDA….played that part, “a celebration of the singular stage force she is.” The program was conceived and directed by Scott Wittman with musical arrangements by Dick Gallagher. Opera star and five-time Grammy® Award winner Kathleen Battle is a legend in the opera world and has received equal praise for her performances of jazz and spirituals. Her voice has been called one of the most beautiful in the world. For her return to the Center, Battle will perform her moving program, Underground Railroad – A Spiritual Journey. It will be an evening of glorious songs, spirituals and hymns inspired by the one of American history’s boldest examples of solidarity on behalf of freedom and equality. The Underground Railroad was the 19th century network of safe houses that allowed AfricanAmericans to escape from slavery in the South to
the Northern free states and Canada. Throughout the performance, there will be narration and readings from period accounts and works by abolishionists Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass. Patrick MCoy of The Washington Post wrote, “Ms. Battle took us not only on a musical journey, but a spiritual one, as the songs she sang captured the plight, faith, fervor and perseverance of a people on a journey to freedom.” Formed in Los Angeles from the ashes of the rock-steady machine Ocean ii, Latin-funk pioneers Five Degrees of Soul, ska stalwarts See Spot, Chris Murray Combo and roots reggae monsters the Expanders, the Boogaloo Assassins are bringing get-down Spanish-Harlem style for a FREE performance on the Arts Plaza on Saturday, September 17. Heavily indebted to the classic sounds of New York’s late 60s/ early70s Latin music explosion, the ‘Asesinos’ serve up traditional Latin son/sonmontuno/guaguanco/chacha-cha/Latin boogaloo/Latin soul, blues and descargas to for listening and dancing pleasure. A Whole New World of Alan Menken has its world premiere during the Center’s 30th Anniversary celebrations. His music and lyrics have become an integral part of the fabric of our lives since his first works were produced nearly 40 years ago. Menken has garnered 19 Academy Award® nominations, 10 Grammy® Awards, seven Golden Globes and a Tony Award®. He has been credited for introducing a whole new generation to musicals through such box office hits as Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid , Aladdin, Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Enchanted and Tangled as well as such Broadway shows as Little Shop of Horrors, Sister Act and Newsies and television’s Galavant. His chart topping songs have included “Beauty and the Beast,” “A Whole New World,” “Colors of the Wind” and “Go the Distance.” Winner of the 2012 Tony and Drama Desk awards for his score for Newsies, he has won more Academy Awards than any other living individual, including eight Oscars with four for Best Score and four for Best Song; 11 Grammy® Awards (including Song of the Year for “A Whole New World”); seven Golden Globes; London’s Evening Standard Award; the Olivier Award; the Outer Critics Circle Award and the Drama Desk Award. The Jazz Weekend kicks off on October 7 with a special double bill concert featuring the SFJAZZ Collective performing a tribute to Miles Davis along with the band’s own compositions and the evening continues with JAZZ 100 marking the 2017 centennial celebration for four visionary talents all born in the same glorious year: Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Mongo Santamaria and Thelonious Monk.

his 10-piece band The Next Step and on October 9, Jazz at Lincoln Center with Wynton Marsalis return to the Center for an unforgettable afternoon of music that will include the opening act of drummer and vocalist Jamison Ross.

Daring pairings: making a match of food and wine
Whether you’re a trained chef or simply enjoy cooking at home, there’s always a certain amount of trepidation at the thought of having guests for dinner. Do you go out on a culinary limb and serve something impressively daring, or do you play it safe with a tried and true menu? If you decide to take a chance, how daring are you? And, if your menu is an adventure for the taste buds, what wine do you pair with it? Recently, malbec received praise for being a versatile wine and a great choice for food pairing. In fact, when surveyed, more than half of culinary professionals agreed that malbec pairs with many types of foods. Whether you’re serving something wildly daring, such as five-spice crusted short ribs with miso black garlic jus, or something mildly daring, like rigatoni with spicy salami and tomato sauce, you can’t go wrong pairing it with malbec. Alamos Malbec, America’s most preferred malbec, is grown in the foothills of the Andes Mountains in Argentina. The result is grapes that combine bold layers of flavor and excellent natural acidity for a wine that pairs beautifully with just about any meal. “Our unique growing conditions of intense sunlight and cool evening temperatures produce malbec grapes with incredible flavor making the wine highly versatile for pairing with food,” says Alamos Winemaker Felipe
Stahlschmidt. Entertain with confidence by leaning on malbec’s versatility. Consider pushing the culinary envelope, and pair malbec with daring cuisine, such as this recipe for Manchego and Chorizo-Stuffed Piquillo Peppers. Your guests will be impressed (and your reputation in the kitchen preserved). For more daring pairings, visit www. tastingtable.com/alamos. Manchego and Chorizo Stuffed Piquillo Peppers Pair with Alamos Malbec Prep time: 30 minutes Cook time: 25 minutes Ingredients: 1/2 pound smoked firm Spanish chorizo, chopped 3/4 cup chopped onion 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 cup seeded, chopped tomato 1/3 cup Alamos Malbec 1/4 cup chopped yellow bell pepper 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 cup shredded Manchego cheese, plus extra for topping 12 canned or jarred piquillo peppers, well drained (may substitute roasted red bell peppers if piquillo peppers are unavailable) Directions: Preheat oven to 450 F. Cook chorizo, onion and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat for 10 minutes or until onion is soft, stirring frequently. Stir in tomato, malbec, yellow bell pepper and seasonings
and cook for 10 minutes more or until all excess liquid has cooked off. Stir in cheese. Fill piquillo peppers with equal amounts of filling and place stuffed peppers in a shallow baking
dish. Sprinkle with additional cheese, if desired, and cook in preheated oven for 5 minutes or until peppers are hot and cheese is melted. Makes 6 appetizer servings. (BPT)

Pony Palooza Wrap Up: Blenheim EquiSports Hosts Two Weeks of Pony Power
Cavour with Juliette Joseph and (l-r) Blenheim EquiSports’ Melissa Brandes, Brandon Seger and Chris Norden of Markel Insurance, Karen Perlow, Equitex Leading Hunter Trainer Archie Cox and Balmoral Farm Leading Hunter Owner Grace Russo. Photos by McCool Starting with the Emerson Burr Horsemanship Grant Exam, a Zone Ten Pony Challenge in the middle and ending with a Markel Pony Derby, Pony Palooza days were filled with gorgeous small, medium and large ponies that modeled, strutted and jumped on the grass. When not competing, pony riders participated in quizzes, cupcake and ice cream parties and wore smiles that could be seen for miles. The $5,000 Markel Pony Hunter Derby Seventeen ponies participated in the $5,000 Markel Pony Hunter Derby on a sunny Saturday morning during the Blenheim Red, White & Blue Classic. After two rounds and all the scores were tallied, Cavour (Grace Russo, owner) and Juliette
Royal Moment, owned by Maddie Stiles, and Evelyn Walker.
Joseph earned the top call, blue ribbon and high score of the day. Starting the morning with donuts and drinks courtesy of Blenheim EquiSports, pony riders negotiated the classic round with twelve returning for the handy. As can happen in a round with tight turns and trot jumps, minor mishaps affected scores. However, several showed some true handy colors and earned top scores. Augusta Iwasaki on the adorable medium True Colors moved up to second overall by scoring an impressive 88 + 9 handy points. Joseph and Cavour came in with an 83 and stayed on top with a handy score of 86 + 8 handy points. Joseph and Cavour, trained by Archie Cox, met this winter at Thermal when she first competed on him. “He is still green, but is a very brave and dependable pony. He’s super fun to ride and easy to find the distances on. He is not spooky and is very predictable,” she remarked. Other stellar handy scores went to Iwasaki on Goodness Gracious (85+8), ultimately third in the class, Skylar Wireman and Little Cutie Patootie (84+7), who also earned the Small Pony High Score Award and finished fourth overall. Northern Californian Avery Glynn and Pink Cadillac were fifth, with handy scores of 84 +4. High Score Awards, generously sponsored by Liz Reilly and Chris Iwasaki of Makoto Farms with Nick Haness of Hunterbrook Farms were awarded to: Cavour for the Large section, True Colors for the medium
section and Little Cutie Patootie for the small section. Congratulations also to Archie Cox, winner of the Equitex Leading Hunter Trainer prize, and to Cavour’s owner, Grace Russo, who won the Balmoral Farm Leading Hunter Owner Award. Martine, the groom for Charlie’s Angel, took home the Shapley’s Best Turned Out Award. The USHJA Zone 10 Pony Challenge Over 50 ponies came to play in the USHJA Zone 10 Pony Challenge on a lovely weekend during the Blenheim June Classic III. Saturday’s scores on the line and under saddle, were tallied with Sunday’s over fences class to determine the top Zone 10 ponies of 2016. Medium pony Captain America (owner, Mackenzie Root), with Augusta Iwasaki in the irons, had a grand total of 259 to earn the Overall Grand Champion award. It was Iwasaki’s first time showing this pony and they hit it off, finishing with solid scores of 86 (model), 88 (under saddle) and 85 (over fences) in the three classes. On a pony she started riding in June, Iwasaki also piloted Small Illustration (Lorelei Riding Ponies, breeder and owner) to the Green Pony Grand Champion. This East Coast-bred Welsh pony also earned a grand total of 259. Erin Marbut, of Lorelei Riding Ponies, knew that they had a special pony when they imported Small Illustration from the U.K. in 2014. “I’ve seen lots of ponies over the years, and had never seen one move
like this one - as if she’s floating on clouds, and so quiet.” Marbut continued, “In all my years of showing, I had never won a cooler - and at Blenheim, she won two!” More congratulations go to the ponies and riders that also earned high scores for division championships and reserve championships, including Medium Pony Reserve Champion Stella Wasserman aboard Trillville, with 82, 85 and 83. Wasserman was also Reserve Champion in the Small Pony division on Blueberry Hill, earning 86, 84 and 81. And Evelyn Walker walked away with Small Pony Champion on Royal Moment with scores of 84, 88 and 80.5. Emerson Burr Horsemanship Grant During the first week of Pony Palooza, pony riders participated in the Emerson Burr Horsemanship Grant Exam. Testing the equestrian knowledge of the sport’s future star riders, the winners were: Stella Wasserman (age group 9-11); Juliette Joseph (age group 12-14); and Hannah Heiber (age group 15-17). Makoto Farms & Hunterbrook Farms kept everyone smiling after racking their brains on the exam, by sponsoring the Zone 10 Pony Hunter Challenge Cupcake Party. Thanks also to the Walker and Seltzer families for sponsoring the Ice Cream Party. Blenheim EquiSports wishes all ponies large, medium and small a great second half of 2016. Looking forward to Pony Palooza 2017!

Celebrate the last days of summer with a weekend getaway for the whole family
Plan a quick family getaway to enjoy summer’s final days Before those magical summer days vanish into fall, now is a good time to pack your suitcases, load up the car and escape on a final summer adventure. The late days of summer offer much to enjoy for a new segment of traveler: the Seekender. They are bold adventurers who take advantage of the weekend to pursue their passions. Professional surfer Bethany Hamilton knows a few things about the Seekender lifestyle. “With my family, we seek to live the life we love together, especially on the weekend of busy work-filled weeks,” Bethany says. Does this sound like you and your family? Get out the map, choose a place you haven’t experienced yet and get ready for a fun weekend. This is how Bethany does it: Put a cap on drive time: Don’t waste the weekend with hours and hours in the car. Bethany tries to avoid ultralong travel days, so her little one can get a nap in. Find a destination you can reach without hassle within three hours or so, while the kids doze and relax in the back seat. On Saturday, you’ll wake up at your getaway spot, ready to seize the weekend. Think simple: Don’t book every
hour of the day with an activity. Back off a bit on the planning, and set your sights on one or two spots you’d like to visit each day. Leave some space for relaxation and spontaneity. Go with the flow and consider letting the kids help make the plans for the day. Involving them in the planning will keep everyone’s mood elevated and allow for a stress-free trip. Be on the lookout for family friendly activities: Along with the usual parks and museums, don’t forget to check for special weekend events in your area. In the final weeks of summer, for example, fair and festival season is in full swing. Set aside some time for the destination’s local festivals or state fairs, where the kids can enjoy carnival rides, local music and food. Get outdoors: Embrace the outdoors and the warm weather before it cools down in the fall. Did you know that the National Parks Service maintains 397 parks and 2,461 national landmarks? Bethany has added Yellowstone National Park to her travel bucket list and hopes to experience its natural wonders with her family soon. Check out this interactive map to see if you’ve missed any exciting stops in your region. Or if you’re feeling more adventurous, this is a perfect time of year to visit the mountains. In the summer months, the parks often offer
alpine slides and mountain biking trails, which makes an excellent day trip outing under the sun. Pick the right hotel: Choose a hotel that offers a variety of locations so your entire family can have a good night’s sleep wherever you land. For example, with over 2,100 properties globally, Hampton by Hilton is the perfect option for your family weekend getaway. With a free hot breakfast for every guest and takeaway bags for families on-the-go, you don’t have the hassle of planning
breakfast - plus there’s plenty of fresh tea and hazelnut coffee to keep parents caffeinated. Downtime at the hotel is also easy and relaxing, with free Wi-Fi, and, at most locations, an exercise room and a pool. Pack up the bags and begin planning your next three-day weekend trip with your family. For inspiration, follow Bethany’s Seekender adventures on HamptonSeekender.com and join the conversation on social media at #Seekender. - (BPT)
E i g h t way s to h e l p k i d s h o n e t h e i r h o m e w o r k h a b i t s Helping children with their homework requires more than an understanding of the subject matter, whether it’s algebra or world literature. To help children succeed throughout the school year, it’s important for parents to nurture positive study habits and organizational skills, and provide kids with a home environment that fosters concentration. “Whether your kids are just learning to read, write and spell, or they are studying for the SATs, we parents have an opportunity to help instill work and study habits that will stick with our children for life,” says education and parenting expert Dr. Michele Borba, who is the bestselling author of 22 parenting books and a frequent TODAY show contributor. Borba offers parents some easy tips to help children of all ages develop skills that will help them reach their academic goals: * Give them space - Create a dedicated space for homework and study. This underscores the importance of homework to kids. If you don’t have room for a homework desk, consider keeping all homework and study tools in a bin or box that children can take out and use every day. Keep all essentials in one place to help avoid time wasted looking for the dictionary, ruler, calculator or other tool. * Create a routine - Choose a time that works best for your child to do homework, then stick to that time every day. A set and predictable schedule helps minimize homework
battles. “Work before play” can motivate kids to get their homework done, but if your child plays sports or has other after-school commitments, doing homework after dinner may be the best option. * Give them smart tools and study aids - Just as your mechanic can’t fix your car without the right tools, it’s hard for kids to do homework without the proper tools. Choose tools like the new Post-it Study collection (www. Post-it.com), which is designed to help students stay organized and use time efficiently. For example, Post-it Study Message Flags are restickable flags that feature helpful reminders like “Study,” “To Do” and “On Test” that help kids highlight material that needs additional attention. Note Tabs, Page Markers, Flags and other products in this collection by Postit Brand stick securely to papers, notebooks, textbooks and more - yet remove cleanly - to help kids organize information during homework and study time. * Avoid distractions - Establish a technology-free zone for homework and studying. Turn off TVs, ban text messaging and ensure kids are using their PC for research, rather than Facebook. This measure may seem obvious to you, but remember - kids are so tied to tech these days that they may be surprised to find out they can more efficiently use their time without the distractions of technology. * Map out assignments - Help children plot homework on a schedule so they have simple reminders of daily,
weekly or long-term assignments. Include other engagements like sports or music lessons to help kids have a clearer picture of their own schedules. This can help build basic time management skills, like working on a long-term project every day over time, or avoiding a late-night cramming session for a big test. * Lessons in planning and prioritizing - Teach kids to make lists of what they need to do each night in order of priority. As your child accomplishes each item, have him cross it off the list. For children who had difficulty staying on task, breaking large projects into smaller, more manageable tasks can help. Encourage kids to do the hardest homework first to help relieve the pressure of a long to-do list.
* Emphasize the effort - Stressing perseverance and effort in a task helps children work longer and harder, because they recognize their success is based on how hard they work. Instead of asking “What score did you get?” ask “How hard are you working?” * Effective study habits - Spreading out study sessions and practice testing were the two most-effective learning tactics, according to a recent report by the Association for Psychological Science. Both techniques involve strong time management skills. Help children think of study sessions or pieces of a larger project as daily to-dos, and just as important as the homework assignment that may be due tomorrow. - (BPT)

Sure-grow guidance for first-time gardeners Each year, thousands of first-timers will join the millions of seasoned gardeners who already know the satisfaction of picking a perfect tomato at its peak, serving up salads from greens just grown right outside the back door, or harvesting home-grown peppers and specialty herbs never even seen at the grocery store. Most of us want that home-grown, healthy goodness that veggie and herb gardens provide, but sometimes it’s hard to figure out just where to start. Diligent effort and smart investment can result in less-than-expected results, but starting your own produce plot and reaping its rewards is not out of your reach. Even a small garden can fill your table with fresh, nutritious food, and help save money, too. In addition to the satisfaction you’ll get from growing your own food, gardening delivers a host of other health benefits, from lowimpact exercise to boosting vitamin D levels with the hours you’ll spend in the sunshine. Whether you start with a few containers on your patio, create a raised bed in a side yard or go big and plant a grand victory garden, gardening can be easy if you start with these six simple steps. Step 1 – Pick transplants While every plant starts from a seed, transplants make establishing your garden easier, and help ensure better success. Transplants, like Bonnie Plants which are grown regionally across the country and available at most garden retailers, nationwide, can trim six to eight weeks off growing time, and allow you to skip over the hard part of the growing process when plants are most vulnerable – so they’re more likely to survive and thrive. Bonnie Plants offers a wide variety of veggies and herbs, available in biodegradable pots, making the selection process easy. Plant what you eat and try some easy-to-grow favorites, like these: * Easy herbs – The volatile oils that make herbs valuable in cooking also naturally repel many insects and garden pests. Try basils, parsley, rosemary and something new, like grapefruit mint, which tastes as refreshing as it sounds. * Bell peppers – You’ll find the Bell peppers grown in your own backyard will taste sweeter than those bought from your grocer. Harvest them green or red, when vitamin levels are higher. Bonnie offers the classic “Bonnie Bell,” that’s a productive proven winner. * Eggplant –Eggplant thrives in hot weather. Try easy grow “Black Beauty” or something different like the whiteskinned “Cloud Nine.” Page 16
* Lettuce – Go for “leaf” lettuces like “Buttercrunch,” “Red Sails,” or Romaine. They’ll tolerate more heat than head lettuces and if you keep picking the leaves you’ll get multiple harvests. * Summer squash – Squash are easy-grow too, and very productive. Try zucchini “Black Beauty” or newfor-2013 Golden Scallop Patty Pan Squash. Many gardeners call this the flying saucer squash because of its unique shape. The flavor is delicate and mild, similar to zucchini. * Tomatoes – These crimson favorites are the most popular backyard vegetable. Choose disease-resistant “Better Boy,” “Bonnie Original” or the extra-easy cherry tomato “Sweet 100.” Step 2 – Location, location, location Be sure the spot you choose for your plants gets six to eight hours of sun. Sun-deprived plants won’t bear as much fruit and are more vulnerable to insects and stress. Step 3 - Suitable soil –Success starts with the soil. Most vegetables do well in moist, well-drained soil that’s rich in organic matter like compost or peat moss. Adding organic material loosens stiff soil, helps retain moisture and nourishes important soil organisms. Step 4: Feed your food– All edible plants remove some nutrients from the soil, and can quickly exhaust soil without the help of a fertilizer. Since one of the reasons for growing your own vegetables is to control exactly what your family consumes, be sure to use all-natural, safe products like Bonnie Plant Food, which is derived from oilseed extract such as soybean seed extract. Research shows plants are healthier and more vigorous using organically based foods, rather than chemical based options. Step 5 Water well – Most vegetables aren’t drought tolerant, so you’ll need to water them regularly. The closer your garden is to a water source, the easier it will be to keep plants hydrated .One inch of water weekly is adequate for most vegetables. Step 6 Pest patrol–Let natural predators fight your battles, handpick pests or dislodge them with a jet of water. If you spray, do it late in the day when beneficial insects are less active. You can find plenty of resources to help guide you through the planting process, from websites like www.bonnieplants.com to your local community college’s agricultural extension. Read up, watch videos, take a class and get your hands dirty.

E n t e r ta i n i n g w i t h a f r e s h, l o c a l t w i s t The pleasant weather of late summer and early fall is ideal for outdoor gatherings. Instead of a go-to meal of burgers and potato salad, explore your culinary side and try something fresh and different. Entertaining with local vegetables and flavorful garden herbs can be easy, healthy and delicious. Farmers markets are often the best source for ingredients straight from the garden. With the USDA National Farmers Markets Directory listing approximately 8,000 across the country, there is sure to be a great local market minutes from your home with everything you need for a perfect seasonal soirée. Menu magic Before heading out to purchase your ingredients, decide what’s on the menu for your party or get-together. Keep it simple. Fresh, local produce is full of flavor and doesn’t need to be used in an especially complex meal to satisfy taste buds. For an informal gathering, a salsa verde is an easy-tomake accompaniment to fish, chicken or pork and a delicious snack paired with baked, homemade tortilla chips. The salsa can be prepared in minutes using a high-powered blender like the Vitamix 5200, so you can spend less time prepping and more time enjoying your guests. For a more formal dinner with friends, make a twist on the traditional spaghetti and meatballs. Wholewheat pasta tossed with a healthy pesto makes for a lighter meal that’s perfect for a balmy evening.

Ingredients like kale, spinach, roasted red pepper, garlic and olive oil, along with fresh herbs and spices, blend together beautifully after just seconds in a Vitamix machine. Smart shopping Once you’ve completed your menu, it’s time to visit your local farmers market to pick up the ingredients. Arrive early, when the market is less busy, and familiarize yourself with the producers. Ask them questions about when the produce was picked and how to tell if it’s ripe, developing a relationship with them for future visits. If you’re shopping early in the week, make sure the ingredients you’re using for your dish will stay fresh until your weekend party, and ask the vendors for advice on storage. Have fun experimenting with new ingredients. Pick up a few golden beets, red dragon carrots or purple potatoes, which house amazing nutritional benefits and pack a tremendous amount of flavor into any meal. Clean, prepare and pair Clean your produce thoroughly and be aware that vegetables from farmers markets may have more dirt on them than the ones you pick up at the grocery store as they are fresh from the farm. Keep the preparation simple to allow the natural flavors to shine. To make your meals pop, plate them on inexpensive bamboo or melamine dinner plates in cheerful colors. Serving trays in dark colors or woods will complement the colorful

dishes and simplify the transport of food and utensils from the kitchen to your dinner table or patio. If you have extra fruit, vegetables or herbs, use them for a refreshing drink, such as cucumber lemonade for the kids, a blended green smoothie or a strawberry basil mojito for the adults.
