Virtue Topic: Vacation and Summer.
Planning a vacation is difficult on many levels. First you need to find a spot that is family friendly. Not only should it be considered "fun" for all ages, but it should also be appropriate for all ages. When planning, one should think about the activities that everyone can participate in. Also, what types of images will your family be exposed to? When picking beaches and pools be aware that there are sensitive eyes that are going to be taking in all of what they see around them. What they are exposed to will define their comfort levels. For example, being around string bikinis 24/7 becomes the norm. Be prudent with what you are keeping as the norm.
Also, with summer comes more relaxed clothing. Continue to make the effort to dress with the proper piety and reverence for certain occasions.
Home Advantage topic: Streamlining Clutter
Clutter is anything that is our of place and without use. When deciding if something is clutter consider its form or function.
Function: Is the item in working order? Is it serving a purpose? Is it broken or worn out?
Form: Is it still attractive? Does it fit with the room's overall style? Do you like it?
Put the object through the PHUN test?
- Where will I Put it?
- Do I already Have it?
- Will I Use it?
- Do I Need it?
