One good way to really feel the Christmas season is to hang your own Christmas stocking somewhere around your fireplace, sit back and wait for it to magically be stuffed by Christmas morning! My grandkids have already hanged theirs and were non-too-subtly dropping hints on what they want in their stockings. That toothless kid who was screaming her head off last Christmas begging the dentist to open shop on Christmas [...]

Traveling is fun especially if you do it with people you love the most. Travels and holidays are always a welcome break no matter what age we are in; kids love them for the adventure traveling represents; moms and dads for non-working days and of course, for seniors who badly need a change of scenery. Furthermore, travels are a good way to bond with your loved-ones and make some more [...]

Safety threats can easily ruin a senior’s vacation. When vacationing, seniors are more vulnerable to theft and overall dangers of being in some place foreign. If you are thinking that staying in a hotel puts you in a lesser risk then you might want to rethink that since reports of theft occurring inside a hotel room with or without the occupants in there are quite rampant.

However, there will be times that it will be absolutely necessary for you to come [...]

Hunting for the perfect gift for your special grandkid may not be that easy especially if you happen to have a kid that doesn’t drop clues or perhaps he or she is blessed with parents who just give just about everything they asked for. Make that doubly hard if you are not that “connected” with your grandchild, he or she being someone who live far from where you are. As [...]

For a senior like me who has families and friends scattered all over the world, traveling must be the best part of the holiday season. Not only you get to go out and leave problems for a while but also you get to see your beloved ones as well as those new additions to the family such as grandchildren and pets. Of course, spending time with them, no matter how [...]

One can never really run out of reasons to celebrate mother’s day and now that it is fast approaching—for those living under a rock, it’s on Sunday by the way—we just have to somehow find a way to make it meaningful for our loved-ones especially our mothers, grandmothers or even daughters with kids of their own. One way or another, there’s bound be one in your life, you just have [...]

We, seniors, are all for restoring our once-green environment and as much as possible, we adapt certain lifestyle adjustments just to keep up with the advocacy. In doing so, we believe that somehow we are alleviating the stress of the human impact which apparently, Mother Nature is not taking it anymore. I say, we can’t blame her! Holidays are one of the occasions when we tend to forget our green [...]
