juggling family, food, fun and fitness ~ creating a healthy family
Over the last couple years Hanna has pretty regularly received sets of magnetic “paper dolls”. I was thrilled to see them the first time because they were so cool! They really are like paper dolls, but they are wood and magnetic, so they are much more durable. She’s gotten a Daisy Girls dress up set [...]
Last weekend was the small town fair in the town my Mom lives in. We entered flowers and canning. The thing about this little town ~ and maybe others like it ~ the kids get Friday off for the fair. Yeah ~ they get the day off school so they can come to the fair. [...]
Well… it’s almost over ~ our first summer since Hanna started school. It’s gone pretty well, and I’m excited for school to start. Hanna’s teacher from last year has moved to a different school so she’ll be getting a new teacher this year. We’ve met her, as she stopped by earlier this week for the [...]
A while back I saw a tweet for a free song from the Beautiful Creatures album. It was a song about the Happiest Hippo. It’s catchy and fun, and Hanna loved it. She wanted more. I was given a review copy of the entire album and we spent the entire night dancing to the fun [...]
We are a good couple weeks into Summer vacation from school (heaven help us) and we’re spending our Monday afternoons at the library ~ taking out our limit of 10 books each week. I have to say I’m super grateful that Hanna is a “reader”. She loves books. She would sit and let force me [...]
I forget sometimes, just how much I love warm Spring nights. Tonight I was sitting on the porch, reading a book, watching Hanna swim in her new pool and took a minute to look around, listen around, and appreciate. Laughing and Giggling girly in the pool dog trotting across the yard Big bumblebee buzzing as [...]
Hanna is officially out of school. She’s finished her first year of school. (preschool). I must admit it was quite an emotional day for me. I just can’t believe how big she’s getting, it seems like the time is flying by. She absolutely loved school, so I’m really glad we decided to send her this [...]
This last week has been hectic with tax preparation and whatnot. Thank Heaven for The Saddle Club. The Saddle Club Series has saved me this week. I generally try not to use the TV as a babysitter, but when I’m crunching numbers and need quiet I know The Saddle Club will keep my little one’s [...]
Since our lovely little chickaroos give us brown eggs I was a bit perplexed about how to decorate them for Easter. I just couldn’t go out and buy white eggs when I have dozens of delicious fresh eggs here. So we went with painting Easter eggs this year. It was super fun. We used your [...]
