Planning a summer trip? Keep in mind the new Passport requirements for children under 16 and even infants! Here's a link to the U.S. Department of State's website for the official details:

Ever need advice or resources about money matters? I listen to Jean Chatzky's program on XM radio all the time and just love it! It is so helpful! Check it out when you have the time! Here's a link to her section of Oprah's website:

It's a sad day...
I just read that Randy Pausch died of pancreatic cancer today. He was the professor whose "Last Lecture" became a huge sensation. If you have not heard the lecture, you can watch it on YouTube, here's a link to a video of him on Oprah's show: http://www.youtube.com/watc.... The lecture was really meant for his children and talks about achieving childhood dreams. It's a very powerful video, I hope you take a few moments out of your day to watch it and pass it on to your loved ones. While we remember this brave man, it is just a reminder that we are not guaranteed tomorrow; each day is a gift. And it begs the questions, "What would you want to instill in your children if you knew that you had a short time to live? What kind of legacy do you want to leave?"

Thanks for sharing, ModMama.

Randy Pausch really was an inspiration. For those who haven't seen his 'Last Lecture,' it's currently on the home page of SacMomsClub.com.

I have not seen the whole video, but the first half was quite enlightening. We made the conscious decision to become a "one-income family" when my daughter was 2. With it comes alot of sacrifice. When I heard him speak the first time, I smiled an remembered why we made the decision. I will have to look at all of it today when everyone else is asleep :).
