Have you sat the kids down for The Talk? Not the where-do babies come from, or safe sex, or being respectful of all talk. I’m talking about the difficult conversation about vacation finances and how much the kids can spend on souvenirs. Sure, it’s vacation and you want to indulge the kids—and yourselves. But this…
Taking the Kids: Economizing on Summer Vacation Without Sacrificing the Fun
Families on Vacation
When I was a kid, family travel meant four kids crammed in the back seat of a sedan poking and elbowing one another while counting the miles between rest stops. Things have changed dramatically since then. But even with onboard DVDs, spacious minivans, air travel, cruises, and theme parks, family vacations can be either delightful…
4-Ingredient Orange Julius Recipe (5-Minute)
In our culture of smoothies galore, anything goes. Smoothie add-ins range from whey protein to wheatgrass to collagen. I’m not betting on wrinkles miraculously disappearing by gulping smoothies. {Anything’s possible?} That said, this Chia Seed Pudding and this Tropical Green Smoothies are on-trend, healthy, and taste pretty awesome. But sometimes, we all just long for sweet and simple. Nothing…
Grilled Chicken Tenders Are the Secret to Quick Summer Meals
Chicken tenders, the actual cut of chicken and not the breaded kid favorite, are underappreciated and deserve their time in the spotlight.

Chicken tenders are a great option for the grill—especially when they’re marinated in an easy garlic-lemon-oregano dressing. They cook up in…

Gazpacho-Style Farro Salad Is Refreshing in the Summer
Two of my favorite dishes are gazpacho and chewy farro, an ancient wheat grain. As the summer heats up, I come up with salads that satisfy our hunger for cool refreshing dishes and different tastes. This one has been a crowd-pleaser at barbecues and luncheons. Tomatoes, cucumbers, and sweet bell peppers are typical gazpacho ingredients…
The Marble Palace
Not all that long ago, the country of Dubai was mostly desert, but it now boasts Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, and a booming economy founded on oil and boosted by tourism. The curated artwork and handcrafted furniture are all included in the purchase of the residence. (Courtesy of Luxhabitat Sotheby’s Int’l) Located in…
Getting to the Root of the Problem
Question: I plant my annuals and perennials the same way, and some plants flourish while some just sit there. What am I doing wrong, and can the problem be fixed after the plant is in the ground? For instance, I planted six tomato plants at the end of May, and though their color is fine,…

The Walt Disney World Resort is playing host to much smaller crowds this summer than in previous years.
