Manly Minute: 5 Family Traditions
Daily Connection Traditions are the small things you do every day to reinforce family identity and values. Without thought and intentionality, your family's daily "traditions" can devolve into everyone surfing the internet on their own devices. So be sure to incorporate some rituals that bring you together face-to-face and allow you to re-connect each day.

Dogs and beer (not the edible ones) go so well together, that's why the Bike Dog Brewery in Sacramento is holding a Yappy Hour tonight! Morgan Ragan is checking out what the event is all about.
