April 2017: The Future
There are no crystal balls in this issue but we’re considering the future and what it will hold for our families. Our writers muse over topics such as the expat issue of moving to a new country, how to know when your family is complete, preserving your children’s artwork and memories, and how to determine your kids’ pocket money; plus, we have a moving poem about youth and the future. Delicious recipes in this issue include Korma Curry, Beetroot Raita, and American-style pancakes. Cancer is a topic we might not feel comfortable with, but our Family Health doctor has gone into a lot of depth about what we should know and do to prevent cancer. We have both an Easter craft and a Spring one for you and your kids to enjoy together. Dinosaur lovers, please read our current Out and About. There’s a lot more: it’s all listed on our table of contents page here. Besides the quality writing from our team members and contributors, don’t forget to look at the gorgeous photographs and illustrations created for our April / May issue. Happy reading and happy Spring!
