Family pnn pages — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 22:34:39 GMT

Holidays are a great time to bring the family together. Use your PNN page to connect with family across the globe and across the room.

1. Share Good Taste
Write your favorite recipes on your PNN page, and take a picture of your final dish. This is a good way to "take your recipe" with you if you're traveling, or even to give your first time college student a culinary challenge.

2. Picture Your Family
Make your own "Holiday Picture Family Challenge." Your PNN page can be a virtual home for family members scattered across the globe. Email your extended family and ask them to send their best holiday pictures to your PNN page.

3. Tradition 2.0
Story time is part of a seemingly lost tradition in today's "videogame" culture. Record grandma's tales about life in the Midwest and post the audio on your PNN page. Add pictures, and even video to complete the story.

"I do not write for the benefit of anyone other than myself. It is generally at the end of the day, when my family is tucked into their beds that I sit here in the dark and "rant."

Uheg
"A collection of poems written by my son which illustrate the extreme "highs" and devastating "lows" of Bipolar Disorder. May they give insight and understanding to all who read them."

I'm a wife, stay-at-home mom, singer, volunteer firefighter, PhotoShop addict and over-involved member of the community.

Daydreamer
I'm an artist, wife and mom, born in Berkeley, living in San Francisco, living with cancer, making art makes me sane, loving my family makes the struggle more than worth it!
