Check out the newest article at For Families Eyes Only. It proposes using a farmers market to teach kids. Actually, since the entire family will be involved, it has the potential of teaching and reinforcing those family values that moms and dads are instilling in their families. Here's a brief excerpt from Farmers Market - Teaching Family Values:

The farmers market in your community is a really awesome tool for teaching family values. And not just for the kids, either... the entire family will benefit.

Have everyone assume the role of a farmers market buyer, age permitting. Endless possibilities here...

Another interesting possibility is to take on the role of farmers market sellers, or vendors. This will take some planning, but can develop into some serious family time.

For Guys’ Eyes Only

This is a fun blog for guys (strict family-friendly content, though). You'll find lots of interesting topics, like motorcycles, DIY home improvement, sports news, and workshop news. As you can see above, there's even a slideshow of home remodeling videos. Here's an excerpt from one of the articles... A Mechanic's Workshop For Guys

I know lots of you guys dream of workshops for cars, and bikes, and… well, anything with an engine in it.

It doesn’t matter if it runs or not, right? Maybe it’s for vintage 20’s, 30’s, 40’s cars… or, classic 50’s and 60’s. And, muscle cars… well, they’re in a class of their own!

This blog has lots of interesting information for women. It's written in a breezy, journal style. Although it's pretty new, the action plan for this blog is active... so good news and articles are in the works. First, a bit of background... we had lots of bandwidth problems because of a Twiceler robot "raid". Basically, we had to remove everything and start completely over! Here's an excerpt of the article describing some of the content we added... New Content Added

Long story short… check out the first re-load about soap-making. It has videos showing people making soap as a hobby and as a cottage business.

There's more coming! .

Content on this blog is strictly family-friendly. Some of the topics include family values, activities, games, hobbies, holidays, vacations, values, and kids parties. Here's an excerpt from the Family Hobbies topic... What's Your Favorite Family Hobby?

Think about it… what hobby can involve every family member, regardless of age (almost) or ability?

Even little kids are natural photographers

The first one that pops into my mind is photography. Anyone can participate, from toddlers on up. Believe it or not, some of the best images are shot by the first timer. Their instinct is to photo what catches their eye… they react instantly instead of planning for it.
