September is banned books month and once again we’ll be examining the new books that have been banned this year and talking about the books and authors who continually make the list of challenged and banned books.
The kids are back in school and the leaves will soon be turning colors. If you have children, will you be an empty nester for the first time or are you at the start of the wonderful journey of parenthood?
With cooler weather coming, it’s important to adjust your exercise routine, so you don’t become sedentary.
Linda Cahill will have some delicious fall recipes to share from the Pampered Chef and Tanya Bashor of Gypsy Artistry will be conducting some fun workshops to make fall crafts for your home.
Orlando Bartro will be back with something brilliant and we’ll have some exciting stories from our guest contributors.
In September, we will publish the second story about woman immigrating to the United States. This story is about a woman from South America and I hope it will enlighten our readers about the many perils immigrants face.
We’ll have a fun quiz and some more suggestions for books you and your family should be reading.
See you next month!
