Fun with Lunch – Muffin Tin Inspiration
Lunch. Lunch can become boring for kids and they become uninterested and picky. At least that is what has happened to my kiddies. While browsing blogs I came across 2 really cute blogs FULL of ideas on making fun lunches. They are: Muffin Tin Mom and Lunch in a Box; Building a Better Bento Inspired by other blog moms once again, I set out. I had cutters so I didn’t need to get any. I did pick up the muffin tins at the Dollar Tree and then some cupcake liners at my local grocery store. I picked up 10 packs of fruit leather (.50/each), pretzels, crackers, cheese, almonds, turkey and…
My First Apple Pie
My first Apple Pie and the 2nd pie I have made in my entire life. Last year I made a crust at my former Mom’s group , I made the Libbys pumpkin pie recipe with it. Did I mention this was a trial run for a Pie Baking Contest I decided to participate in? Recently we went to a local city cultural and history center, it was really cool, I plan to blog about it soon. While we were there I picked up some brochures and one was advertising ‘Cider Days’. Here is what the city website says: Celebrate the autumn season at the 35th Annual Cider Days harvest festival! Cider Days includes booths…

Where I Blog
Since I started blogging I have found so many awesome blogs out there. The community of bloggers is a tight knit one, everyone is so friendly, helpful and informative. I joined my first blog hop last month and it was so much fun! Honestly I have been wanting to join another but thought that might be next Summer; since I am new to Blog Hops I didn’t know bloggers do them frequently. Much to my happiness I found a new one. The topic is … Where do you blog? . I usually blog from my Mac in the schoolroom that should be a living room. It is a lively…
A Special Treat
We rarely eat out, that includes fast food too. We go out to eat with my family for special occasions so we get our fill. Recently, we received a gift card as a thank you. It was to a local American fare restaurant called Merle’s it is located in the super-cute, Downtown Littleton area. The decor is modern and cozy and fun! Plenty of seating, the first level has huge garage doors slide open for an open, outdoor feel, the upstairs is all patio overlooking the downtown strip. The menu has a wide variety of salads, sandwiches, burgers and yummy entrees. We went for lunch and our kids ate off…

Well… Here it is!
Never thought I would be in an issue of Colorado Parent magazine! A couple of months ago I wrote about having the opportunity to meet with a group of moms and learn about make-up. It was for Colorado Parent Magazine and it was so much fun! The issue just hit the newsstands, take a gander, it’s a great magazine. If you are in the Denver Metro area, there are a ton of excellent resources in it. Can you find me in the magazine, let’s play “where’s waldo” with me.
A New Work Schedule?
It is 3:48 AM as I type… ugh. Lately my kids have been going to bed later than usual. It mainly has to do with it being summertime. The past few days they have been going to bed so late that my husband and I have not had alone time, work time, etc. The kids keep us tied up until way past a time I can’t even mention it’s so late! So here I am, up at 3:30 for the 4th day in a row. The reason: it’s the only time I can work on household organization and homeschool preparation without any interruptions. Something has to give, though, and I…
Sweeter than most?
Is it possible that some people can be sweeter than others? In taste I mean. Well, ok, let me explain. I am kidding about taste but my poor sweet little Oliver is constantly the target of bees and spiders, every summer his lil body gets nasty bites and bumps. I feel so sad for him, his brothers are completely left alone. On Thursday he was playing on the playground when a bee flew up his shirt sleeve, became trapped and proceeded to sting my lil baby 3 times! Friday night after his bath, I noticed a huge ruddy and red spot on his shoulder, it was about 4 inches…
