Tips

for a stress-free road trip with kids

With a tight economy, many families will opt to hit the roads this summer instead of flying, but driving with kids can be especially challenging. Admit it: taking a long car trip with kids can drive you crazy. “Are we there, yet?” “I’m bored.” “He’s picking on me.” “I’m hungry.” And the list goes on. But with proper planning, the ride can be fun and relatively painless for all. Consider following a few important tips. 1. Service your car. There is nothing worse than setting off on a road trip and breaking down along the way—especially on a hot day with kids in tow. Get your car checked out before you take off. Make sure fluids are topped off and tires properly inflated or purchase new tires if they are worn out. 2. Plan properly. Before you even get in the car, plan your destination and route. A portable GPS device or smart phone navigation app can help guide you to your vacation spot, but it may be worth having a paper map as backup. Try to drive during off-peak hours to avoid traffic or other delays. 3. Check your car seats. As many as 80 percent of car seats may not be properly installed. Also, have your seat inspected to make sure it’s safe. Children should be seated in a proper car seat based on their height and weight and those under 2 should stay rear facing. Also, make sure all children under 13 ride in the backseat.

How to Celebrate Father's Day 15th June 2014

Father's Day has been celebrated for over 100 years. It's also an event celebrated in many countries around the world, although at different times of the year. In North America and the United Kingdom, Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in June. Help dad enjoy the day. Perhaps you'll let him sleep-in this morning, or perhaps you won't badger him to be somewhere on time, for a change. Whatever it is, let it be his day. Some nice ways to start it include: •Making him breakfast in bed •Bringing him the newspaper to read in bed •Making his favourite pot of coffee •Make it a family event. Father's Day is by nature a family event. Use this opportunity to get everyone in the family together for a fun day. Think about including all the dads in your family, not just your own father. Could your celebration include husbands, would-be future dads, your uncles, and brothers? If so, do it—the more the merrier! And don't forget step-fathers—they're important too. You don't have to remain at home; you could go to the beach, a local park, a favorite spot of dad's! Consider building the celebration around an activity you all can enjoy. Some ideas include: • Having a family picnic • Enjoying a family barbecue • Taking dad to a favorite sporting event • Go fishing together • Go plane spotting or train spotting together • Play golf together.

Be creative. When it comes to making gifts for Father's Day, perhaps steer clear of the traditional store-bought gifts of tie and socks. He's probably still got last year's socks stuffed at the back of the drawer. Expensive or typical gifts are not necessary, but the time and effort you put in to create a personalized tribute, will be deeply appreciated. Instead, let your own creative abilities shine and make him something special: • Bake a cake • Make his favorite dinner • Make a gift basket and fill it with homemade candies, cookies, crossword or other puzzles you've created yourself, hand-crafted woodwork objects, etc. • If you're artistically inclined, draw or paint a portrait of your dad from a favorite photo or from memory • Write a poem • Write a song and perform it. Acknowledge the importance of fatherhood. Being a father is a tough job. Dads are responsible for at least one half of the financial and emotional well-being of the family. A thoughtful card, a letter, or short speech that expresses your love will benefit both you and your dad. Giving dad a heartfelt speech, toast, or card of genuine, loving words at the dinner table, or at some other point when all the family are around (siblings especially), will make this a poignant occasion.

Prevent Your Dog From Suffering Heat Stress This Summer Hot weather spells trouble for dogs. Because they canâ€™t release heat by sweating the way humans do, heat and humidity can raise canine body temperatures to dangerous levels. Heat stroke kills, and heat stress (a less severe condition) can take a serious toll on a dogâ€™s health. Unfortunately, heatrelated problems are among the most common summer canine ailments. Conscientious caregivers plan ahead and do everything they can to keep their dogs safe in the heat. Here are some strategies and products for helping hot dogs chill out. To reduce canine summer heat stress, let your dog become accustomed to climate changes naturally and gradually, the way animals adapt in the wild. Schedule long walks for the coolest time of the day but spend a few minutes outdoors during warmer hours, too. Unless your climate is dangerously hot, your dog can be comfortable for short periods.To encourage a hot dog to drink on hot days, resupply his cold water. Some people fill a dog bowl or bucket and freeze it overnight. As it melts during the day, it provides a steady supply of refreshing, cold water (check to make sure it melts quickly enough to provide as much water as he might wish to drink).

Ideally planted with roots in the shade, they need to grow into the sun, Deutzia rose on a wall or fence, to flower at their best. Plant a few inches deeper than normal to discourage Clematis wilt. Clematis viticella varieties are more resistant to this disease and flower later into the autumn, so extending the flowering season. Add winter and spring species and you can have an almost year round display. Deutzias are a group of shrubs related to Mock Orange (Philadelphus). Flowers are mostly late May to June and white with some pink shades. Deutzias xrosea Campanulata (see picture) is upright and compact with bell shaped flowers of white petals contrasting with purple calyx. Any decent soil in sun or light shade.

flowering at this time of the year. Types of plants that are capable of repeat flowering such as many roses and numerous herbaceous perennials are best dead headed when the flowers start to fade. This will encourage further flushes of flower later in the summer. Climbing roses can be trained by tying in new growth as close to horizontal as possible. This restricts the flow of sap and encourages the new flowering shoots.

Kitchen garden Now that the threat from frost has passed, it is safe to plant out crops such as runner beans. These may be grown up a wigwam of canes to support them and don't forget to spray the flowers in dry weather to make sure they set pods. Slugs love them but you could cut a sleeves from a plastic drinks bottle to protect the young plants. Sowing salad vegetables at intervals will give you a succession of fresh leaves. Note that lettuce won't germinate at high temperatures so pick a cooler spot or use seed trays in the shade. Oh and watch out for caterpillars! Happy Gardening.
