Families First Monthly

Welcome Winter.

This issue introduces two regular features, Homemaking with Flo
and a column written by attorney and former Family Court Judge David Stowe, which tackles topics (sometimes difficult) regarding family law. We asked our new writer Jackie Bojarski to create an original Holiday/winter piece and the result is a wonderful read-out-loud sledding story (page 8). This issue’s underlying theme of books and reading is intertwined with Holiday stories such as Christmas Twins by Marisa Behrmann and Sharing Grace by Heather Elise Maier. Enjoy the humorous story of the Kitchen Organization Gene by Micki Bare.  I am impressed by Sophia, our Young Entrepreneur, and I bet you will be too. See her story on page 10.
