GARDENING: BRINGING FAMILY TOGETHER
Why You Should Consider Investing in a Family Garden
COLLABORATION Gardening gives your family a chance to collaborate. When you’re stuck inside for long periods, you may be spending time together, but it’s usually not quality time. Working in a group to create and maintain a garden is a hands-on experience for everyone. It’s a chance to get the whole family involved with a single project, and you can literally share the fruits of your labor. DECIDING ON PLANTS When it comes to deciding which plants you want in your garden, there are many variables to consider. Do you want to grow edible plants, ones that have magnificent blossoms, or ones that are easy to care for? Flowers are a good start if you want a plant that grows a little faster; plus, they lend a pop of color to your garden. Growing vegetables is also rewarding, as the kids will take great pleasure in eating what they’ve grown. Other possibilities include sunflowers, blackberries, peas, and lettuce. You might be surprised at how willingly children eat their greens when they’ve had a hand in growing them.
A fter spending a winter cooped up inside with your family, there might be a little tension between everyone. Fortunately, it’s spring, and the warm weather, melting snow, and blooming flowers offer a good way to ease restlessness. This season, why not bring your family closer together by starting a family garden? A LEARNING EXPERIENCE Nearly every step in the gardening process can be a learning experience for kids and parents alike. Begin by discussing where you should start and why, what supplies you’ll need, and the types of plants you wan t to grow. Gardening also offers opportunities to learn about science, ecology, and nutrition.
Family gardens can bring something new and fresh to your home. So, get outside, enjoy the sun, and discover the joys of plants and gardening.

A new law went into effect in Texas in September 2017 allowing you, with certain exceptions, to seal first-time DWI and other misdemeanor convictions and probation records from public view. This allows you to legally say the arrest and conviction never happened. And when prospective employers and others do a background check, the arrest and conviction or probation record will not show up on your record. Imagine how dramatically this can improve your future. You won’t be at a disadvantage in your search for jobs or advancement in your work when compared to others with no criminal history. You won’t be prevented from coaching, working with children, volunteering at your kid’s schools, or so many other things you may want to be involved in. All this time, you thought you would forever be saddled with this one blemish on your otherwise clean record. Now, within months, your clean record can be restored. This can be accomplished through the filing of a Motion for Nondisclosure, sometimes called a Motion to Seal. The granting of this motion will cause the records of your prior arrest and conviction
