5) National Parks/Monuments–Have you visited one of our national parks with your family? We’d love articles about fun nature vacation spots–along with 3-4 photos! If you are inspired by the beauty/history of a particular national park–even if you haven’t been there–we’d love to hear from you. These articles post on the third Friday of the month.

6) Adventures in History–Do you love American history as much as I do? Have you discovered an unusual fact about our history? Do you live a few miles from where historic events happened? We’d love to read your articles. These articles post on the fourth Friday of the month.

Nature

We love non-fiction nature or animal stories.
