Scrumptious Pumpkin Fritters
Here is my tried and trusted recipe for the really Scrumptious Pumpkin Fritters that I promised you in my previous post about “The Great Pumpkin Adventure“.

Are you Losing Contact with your Teenager?
If you’ve been feeling that you’re losing contact with your teenager you’re not alone! Parents often worry that they’re losing contact with their children as they hit their teens. Suddenly it seems as if your teenager has outstripped you and left you behind. You have just been relegated to the category of “The older generation” and it stings. But there are ways to re-establish contact and to re- affirm and even strengthen your relationship with your teenager. Of course, it’s a difficult period but you can get through it provided that you let go of the reins and allow your teenager to find himself on his own. After all, isn’t…

A Perfect Handwriting
A perfect handwriting may be a rare and wonderful thing. But is there really such a thing as a perfect handwriting ? Have you ever wondered what a perfect handwriting would look like? And what about the people who have these beautiful, perfect handwritings? Does it mean that they have perfect personalities too? In actual fact a beautiful or perfect handwriting isn’t as desirable as you would think. (If you would like to know more about what beautiful handwriting means you can type your question into the comment section below this post and I will answer your directly.)
