May is a bittersweet month for many parents. Whether you homeschool or your children attend public or private school, the day that they graduate will be a memory you will never forget.
As you watch them embark on this new adventure in their lives, I am sure your mind wanders back to the day they were born, the years of children playing on the playground, the day they got their driver's license, and more. Yes, they are no longer little babies, but growing young adults. This newsletter will be full of great tips and ideas on how to make this the most special and memorable day for them. If you are looking for some great ideas, be sure and check out my May Digest as it contains tons of great information on "cents"ible celebrations.You can also check out this past newsletter about graduates as well.

This week's featured website is Tiaras and Tantrums. You will absolutely love this website.
I had the joy of checking out a bunch of her giveaways. I also love her truthful nature when she is sharing her heart. This post on mothers was especially good.
Drop by her blog and leave a note letting her know that I sent you over! She would love to hear from you.

I'd Like To Hear From You
| I'm wrapping up July's Digest which is all about "Summer Fun From A to Z."
I'd love to include a little section featuring our readers' favorite summer
memories. Do you have anything to share? It can be from your childhood days,
or something more recent. Maybe it's a trip to your county fair, lying
outside to watch the stars, a special family reunion, or the smell of
burgers on your backyard grill.
If there's a special memory of a taste,
smell, sight, sound or feeling of summer that you'd be willing to share, I'd
love to hear about it. Email me in the next couple of
days if you want to be included! Thanks so much.

Hey, I Can Make That!
|  Photo courtesy of Scrapbooking,com One of my favorite memories of graduation was my memory book. My mother purchased mine through the local school product catalog, but what if you could make your own for that graduating child of yours?
I found a great tutorial on Scrapbooking.com that offers step-by-step instructions and tips on creating the perfect memory book.

(Receive a FREE subscription to their publication, Living the Country
Life--click here to register. I didn't
have to pay the membership fees when I registered, but that may have
changed.) This would make a great recipe to take to a party.
Cook it during the day while you work and be ready that night to the
party once you get home! Chicken thighs and drumsticks are some of the
cheapest cuts of chicken at my local grocery store, sometimes as low as
$.59/lb. The onion soup mix I have at home appears to be gluten-free,
too!
Slow-Cooker Cranberry Chicken
Ingredients
2-1/2 to 3 pounds chicken
thighs and/or drumsticks, skinned
1 (16-ounce) can whole cranberry sauce
2 tablespoons dry onion soup mix
2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
3 cups hot cooked rice
Directions:
1. Place chicken pieces in a
3-1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker. In a small bowl, stir together cranberry
sauce, dry soup mix, and tapioca. Pour over chicken pieces.
2. Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours or on high-heat
setting for 2-1/2 to 3 hours. Serve chicken and sauce over hot cooked
rice. Makes 6 servings.
