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 [...]

I think it’s about time someone tackled the subject of school lunches and how the way our kids eat at school creates habits and attitudes around food.

It’s so easy to believe they have the answers, and someone else can tell me what I should/need/oughta do. The [...]
Here in Kansas it’s Spring Break time. St. Patrick’s Day is tomorrow ~ which means I need to get my potatoes planted, unfortunately the garden is not even dug due to a bunch of rain last week. Me and the rototiller have some plans today! Yesterday, while I was working, Hanna kept asking questions, lots [...]
Some of our favorite books are the If you give… series. If you’re not familiar with this series, it is a very fun, well written set of books about what happens if you give an animal something. A few of our household favorites are “If You Give a Cat a Cupcake” “If You Give a [...]
Hanna’s birthday is coming up in a couple months. I wouldn’t normally even start thinking about planning it yet, but a friend of mine has this awesome site about kids theme parties. I was over there yesterday and got to thinking. I enjoy Hanna’s birthday but there are a few places where birthdays, especially kids [...]
