Maintaining a home that is welcoming and kid-friendly can be challenging. Kids are full of energy and oftentimes put fun ahead of tidiness. But no matter how energetic their youngsters are, parents can still employ several strategies to ensure their homes are both sophisticated and child-friendly. - Consider an open floor plan. Rooms that flow into one another make it easier to keep tabs on children. Such rooms also allow residents and guests to mingle in separate rooms but not be too far away from one another. - Choose...

We’re a Scouting family. My sons were Boy Scouts, my Eagle Scout grandson is at Scout camp right now. Collectively, my husband and I have 50+ years of professional and volunteer service with the BSA. We support our local troops and the local and national councils. I am invested enough to say that I am livid at what Trump said at the National Jamboree this past week. He was vulgar, political, inappropriate; not surprising. I’m disappointed that the National Council would invite him knowing that most likely this is the kin... Full story
I had heard about the computer lessons offered at the Foundation for Senior Care on Mission Road, but had not visited their location until recently. Training is offered on popular computer programs. They are offered to seniors by very knowledgeable personnel. On Fridays, experienced techies are available to repair equipment at no charge! This valuable program will no longer be offered on Mission Road. They must find another space to house their equipment and offer classes. Our community has created unique solutions to needs...
Trump's political remarks before the Boy Scout Jamboree in West Virginia on July 24 elicited an open letter calling for the resignation of the Jamboree chairman, Scout CEO and Scouting President. Two Eagle Scouts composed the letter.

There is no person in American society today who less embodies the laws of Scouting than President Donald J. Trump, and... Full story
On May 18, I co-hosted the Town Hall Coffee event with our State Senator, Joel Anderson. On June 2, The Village News posted (online) a letter by Pennie Leachman. Ms. Leachman stated that she was disappointed in the Senator's "canned answers". What we heard that night were genuine answers from a genuine man. Perhaps Ms. Leachman mistook prepared, thought-out, and consistent with "canned". Ms. Leachman states she was offended by his answer to a question by Maj. Gen. Anthony Jackson, USMC(Ret) about California policy to tax...
We have a huge house that we bought in 2012. It’s almost 3,000 square feet of space with rooms varying in size from the massive, like our master bedroom which takes up about a third of our upstairs, to the minute, such as our three-quarter bath downstairs near our family room. One of the toughest things for me with so much space was finding a way to decorate it all the way I wanted it without breaking the bank. It’s still a work in progress. After the children moved out earlie...

FALLBROOK – Many gardeners understand the frustration that stems from seeing a garden destroyed by wildlife. While protecting wildlife is a cause that's near and dear to many gardening enthusiasts, even the most ardent wildlife supporter does not want to see his or her garden trampled, eaten or adversely affected by animals.
