Swirl of History = Real Family Values

With the swirl of recent events from Wall Street to the upcoming elections, we are living history right now. Our kids are watching us now - every bit as much as they're hearing news. Their opinions will be formed by what they see in the larger world but also from how they see their parents react. It's easy to talk about values as abstract concepts but how we live our values - especially under stress - teaches our children much more powerful lessons.

Recording for Posterity

"Tell me a story..." what parent hasn't heard that phrase uttered a thousand times? In our century that generally means a Disney movie in book form, fairy tale or anything authored by someone through a publishing company. What about the richness of your own family's story? History isn't just in books for kids. It deserves to live on through all of us - for posterity.
