Have a night in

I don't know about you, but my family doesn't get to spend a lot of time together as a whole. My hubby works about 60 hours a week. So when he is home, we try to do as many quality things together as possible. One of our favorite things to do is have a family game night. Sometimes, it's just us and the kids; sometimes we invite more family members over to play. Either way, we always have a blast.

Just remember...

Game night isn't about what game you play or who wins. It's about spending quality time together as a family. What's more important than that?

Diabetes Research 

Diabetes is a big problem among the world right now. It affects the young and the old and can come on suddenly. I have family members with this disease and I pray for a cure everyday.

The Diabetes Research Institute Foundation (DRIF) is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to provide the Diabetes Research Institute with the funding necessary to cure diabetes now.

We at Squidoo passionately believe in creating new ways to support good causes online. By making a donation to Diabetes Research Institute from this page, you are sending money directly to that organization, in whatever amount you want. We don't touch it. We don't even see it. The author of this page doesn't either. And if you made it this far, thanks for caring.
