If you plan on drinking this holiday weekend, but you're also driving, you have options to avoid getting behind the wheel.
One is courtesy of the Automobile Club of Southern California. It's offering a free Tipsy Tow service this Fourth of July holiday. It runs from 6 p.m. Thursday to midnight on Friday.
The service is restricted to a one-way, one-time ride for the driver to that person's residence.
You can call 1-800-400-AAA for the free tow.
Have a great weekend!

This film features the lengendary Bob Proctor, Vic Johnson, Lisa Jimenez and a host of others, all hosted by Don Boyer from "The Power of Mentorship" book series and movie.

Carlsbad Welcomes PlayWerx!
What do these wonderful places all have in common? They give parents a BREAK! We are afforded the opportunity to not be on our toes chasing our kids down non-stop! Yes, we are still "on" at Playwerx, but we are surrounded by walls (one is a roll-up to offer cool breeze and natural light) and only one exit, which is a huge comfort. We have the "playground" in front of us, the action in our viewing range, as we sip our coffee or read a magazine article. Nothing like taking care of a list of phone calls, reading the paper, or writing thank you letters! It is the little things we appreciate, and knowing that our kids are having a blast while we treat ourselves is a what we need sometimes. Parents, we hope to see you there, as PlayWerx is about to become one of our homes away from home!
Where do you like to go to chill out just a bit while your kids let loose? Please leave your comments!

The Mom Test - Author Unknown
Thank you, Chico, for sending this in!
I was out walking with my 4-year-old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that.
"Why?" my daughter asked.
"Because it's been on the ground, you don't know where it's been, it's dirty, and probably has germs," I replied.
At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Momma, how do you know all this stuff, you are so smart." I was thinking quickly.
"All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mom Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mom."
We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information.
"OH...I get it!" she beamed, "So if you don't pass the test you have to be the dad."
"Exacty," I replied with a big smile on my face.
OK, moms, we are not always the heroes. This fun cartoon will even the "playing field" a bit! Click here to watch "A Typical Conversation with my Mom".
