As June comes to an end, it's time for mid-summer relaxation and honoring our nation. 
In this issue, you have access to our area's 4th of July celebrations, fireworks and even some ideas for related crafts and books. Plus, read about the car seat safety and some help from the sanity of summer meal planning.
We want to hear from your kids! Check out "If I Were in Charge of the World", an 11 year old's perspective. Then share how your children respond (include your child's first name and age in the email).
Enjoy your Independence Day!
