Christmas traditions So many families have traditions they carry out each and every holiday season.

Teachers can have a huge impact on your life While looking through a box of old pictures my mom gave me, I came across a lot more than photos -- such as pictures I had drawn and notes I had written my mom as a young child, report cards, and standardized testing scores. I smiled -- inside and outside -- realizing my mom kept those things for all these years. I felt so special and loved that the things meant so much to her to keep them...

Tell me about your proposal ... Ah, Valentine's Day. I think it's a holiday that most people either love or hate. For me, Valentine's Day isn't a big deal -- it's just an excuse for my husband and I to have a date night. I don't need flowers or chocolate -- I just want time with my Valentine; a dinner where we can actually eat my meal without worrying about kids throwing food on the floor or spilling drinks on the table; a table for two instead of our usual six...
