Eating Healthy
Keeping our bodies healthy means eating right, exercising and getting the right amount of play time and rest time. That’s hard to balance for kids! I’ve noticed my oldest Princess V struggling lately to communicate her feelings. We were experiencing meltdowns way too often for anyone’s enjoyment. One day after her dance class, when we […]

Earth Day Craft: Milk Jug Planter
Monday is Earth Day! I love this day to celebrate our planet, and give a little back. It’s also a great day for teaching our children. I know, I should be better about teaching them every day, but I’m not. We’re working on that though. School days always get away from me, so I thought, […]

A new Addition to our Home: Tank the Pug
Well, we did something I always said we would do, but continually pushed to the side. We bought a dog. Mark is a dog lover – always has been. I’m more of a dog – there, me – here, kind of person. Much like any fear, everytime I gave myself moments to think about bringing […]

Menu Planning with Kids
Yesterday I cooked up some Chicken Cordon Bleu for dinner. Sunday is always my favorite night to cook, since I have the time, and Mark home to help with the kids. Normally I will let the girls help me cook, unless I’m handling raw meat and sharp knifes. That was the case last night. Princess […]
