Useful Tips for Making Moving Less Stressful
Moving day can be so stressful! Our family is looking to possibly make a move in the near future so I searched for some helpful moving tips as I know there must be a better way to move than the way we have done it in the past. You know, where some items get shoved into a box with no labeling and are still sitting in your hall closet after ten years. Not saying that is what we did (yeah, right). But throughout the years I have come across some great tips that will help with moving day. Have each family member pack an overnight bag with their…

Travel :: A Lesson In The Desert
The Joshua tree is commonly found in the Mojave Desert, the Sonoran Desert, and some areas of the San Bernardino Mountains. Native Americans used the rough leaves of this tree to weave baskets and sandals, and ate the flower buds and seeds.

They may grow quickly through the first five years if the conditions are right, but the average Joshua tree grows only ½ to 3 inches per year. Out in the desert, insects, birds, reptiles, and small mammals make homes out of the majestic Joshua tree. National Park Service celebrates…

It didn’t really matter what I put on, they’d find the areas I’d not reached and have a little feast. Do you have the same…
