Whether you are a mom or not, you need to be on a budget, so check out http://budget-girl.blogspot.com/ for help in that department. Even though I don’t live in the “Lower 48” doesn’t mean I forgot about it. You can virtually see America here: http://see-america.blogspot.com/.

Alaska is a state with diverse culture and ethnicity. It is clear that over the years, many different people from different places have moved here and established roots. About 16 percent of Alaska's population is made up of Alaska Natives. In general, there are three groups of Alaska Natives: Eskimo, Indian, and Aleut. Alaska's Native people are divided into eleven distinct cultures and they speak 20 different languages. Many of Alaska's Natives have held on to their traditions, and with so many other cultures moving into the state, combined with the new industries and technologies taking hold of the state, there is an even greater need for the culture to be held onto and taught to future generations. You can learn more about Alaska's Native people at the Alaska Native Heritage Center.

Coffee, Coffee, Coffee... Alaskans L-O-V-E coffee. My little town has 2 Starbucks and many, many independent coffee "huts". On practically every major corner and most little corners are trailers, shacks, and small cabins serving coffee. You just drive up and order at the window. If coffee isn't your thing, you can get some very tasty smoothies (with real fruit), Italian Soda, Chai Tea, or Hot Chocolate...

My favorite coffee in Alaska is Kaladi Brothers! They roast locally and have stores in several Alaskan cities, plus you can order online. I am lucky enough to have a cart in my local mall plus a cafe in my town. And the cafe is awesome - free wifi, art on display, and bands play there, too!! Visit www.kaladi.com to see what all the fuss is about!
