Write an Encouraging Note

If you feel like being more adventurous, throw a party for several of your friends and put smiles on a multitude of faces.

Take Care of Kids
If you have been a parent, you know the value of being able to have a few hours of "adult time" without worrying about the children.
Don't wait to be asked to baby-sit when it is required. Offer to do it at a time when the parent can do something fun and relaxing.
