Most people would agree that eating dinner as a family is important. However, with today’s busy schedules it’s hard to find the time.

With all of the soccer games, one or both parents working late, and tons of homework it’s hard to eat dinner together.

June 16, 2016 DealDash Reviews

Summer is in full swing here with temperatures in the mid-80s. I think it’s time to build a sandcastle.
