Whether it’s simply carving a pumpkin to sit on the door step for Halloween night or holding a pumpkin carving party with you’re friends and family, this age old tradition is a main event for young and old alike. Pumpkin Carving 101 was first published in September of 1996 as part of the Halloween Online…
Sometimes, you just have to laugh. I proudly wore the title of Class Clown all through school. I knew I was good when I had the teachers laughing as hard as my classmates. At work, the tradition continues. I am employed as a geek at a manufacturing facility with around 1500 employees. And the plant…
It’s a tradition. A rite of passage. Your parents did it, so did you, so will your children. Unfortunately, in recent years, it has taken on a sinister connotation. I’m talking about the junior-senior prom. It’s the social event of the spring for high schoolers. But too often, proms are marred by tragedy. It’s an…
A tradition that is as old as journalism itself is the retraction of errors. It didn’t take long for the first reporter to make his first error and retract it, probably in the form of cuneiform characters on a clay tablet.

Remember “I want to say one word to you. Just one word. Are you listening? Plastics.”) look like a true prophet. I mean, really, who…
It has been a tradition on the Family First Site to feature sites that have a wide reaching theme, yet act in a smaller geographic area. I call it “thinking globally, acting locally”. Today we visit a site that has a very important mission, one that could be anywhere, but it is located physically in…
History has always fascinated me. The Internet has given me the opportunity to visit places in the world that I would not have had the chance to visit and learn about otherwise. Today’s Family First Site is one that I truly enjoyed and wanted to share with you, espeically on this Easter holiday.

Of all the pastimes and hobbies I have had in my life, the most pleasant and relaxing was stamp collecting. Those small pieces of paper that told so much history about our country and the world somehow captured my imagination, as they have millions of other people over the years. Today’s Family First site mixes…
