Throwing a party for a teenager can be a challenge. It is so hard to know what is cool and what isn’t. But almost every teenager loves going to the movies. It isn’t always feasible to take your child and his/her friends to the movies. Instead, bring the movies to your backyard.

A Wedding Tradition: Jumping The Broom

Jumping the Broom is a wedding tradition with confusing origin. Many believed that Jumping the Broom originated as a wedding tradition in the Southern U.S. during the period of slavery.

Today, wedding showers are given by anyone willing to throw the couple a party. Modern wedding shower themes include Continue reading "Showering Outdoors" »
