The glow of the Chinese Lantern Festival continues to shine at Fair Park, in Dallas, Texas, until February 17, 2014 (Washington’s Birthday weekend). For the first time, the Chinese Lantern Festival encompasses both the western (Gregorian) and eastern (Lunar) New Year. While many holiday lights have dimmed elsewhere, the Chinese Lantern Festival burns bright.

A common theme among parents through history has been the desire to make the next generation better than the one before. In other words, we want to equip our kids with the knowledge and the skills to thrive where we may have merely survived.
In this day and age of conservation consciousness, what better way to teach your kids about the concepts of saving money and energy than by imparting a skill that they can keep with them forever? Going through the process of re-caulking your windows will do just that…and improve your property while you’re at it!
Here’s how you can enhance your child’s awareness of the importance of conservation and winterize your windows in a single weekend.
With the holidays almost behind us, many of us are already starting to think about how to start the New Year off on the right foot. Since we can all use one less thing to stress about, we’re sharing a few tips that are sure to help make 2014 your best year yet – thanks to Leslie Hendry yoga and meditation expert and author of the kids app “Tejas & Lollipops: The Great Clean-Up.”
Leslie’s Top Tips For Creating a New Year, New You:
1) Start With a Clean Slate – Take an inventory of items in your home you no longer use or need and donate, recycle or pass on to a friend or family member. Creating more space in your home will make room to physically and emotionally invite new energy into your life!
2) Get Organized – One easy way to get rid of time wasters like searching for keys, sunglasses, etc. is to create a ‘home’ for items you use regularly. By keeping these items in one consistent place, you alleviate stress and create a more efficient, calm living environment.
