Disclosure: I was compensated with park tickets for writing this post; however, all opinions are mine and mine alone. Taking a trip to Storyland in New Hampshire is truly an amazing way to end the summer with the kids. We needed a last minute fun trip before school started, and boy was this the right choice! My husband had to get work done, so I drove myself with the kids and a neighbor friend four hours to Glen, NH! We stayed at the North … [Read more...]

One of my favorite books that I ever read had to do with climbing Mount Everest, and now I can add another book to my favorites' list that also deals with overcoming the elements and pushing yourself to achieve a goal. This one is called I Promise Not To Suffer by Gail D. Storey, and she and her husband set out to challenge themselves by hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. I actually had never even heard of this trail before reading the book, and I … [Read more...]
Today was the first day back to school for the kids. The way our school system works, is that there is an upper elementary and lower elementary. This means that the kids at grades 1st and 4th are at different schools. It was sad to see them getting on different buses and heading off to different schools. Big sister was not there to sit with little brother on the bus anymore. It was even more of a change that both kids were in school for the full … [Read more...]
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for belVita. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. We are starting back to school this week! I can't believe summer went by so fast. With my busy work-at-home schedule, it is really hard to get a nutritious breakfast on the table in the mornings. Especially a breakfast that the kids like and will eat! I was so … [Read more...]
Authors, Rachel O. Williams and Kelley O. Williams, do it again! They have written another great book for kids to relate to finding their place in this world! First, they wrote Paige Finds Her Perfect Fit, where Paige is a puzzle piece looking for her "perfect fit" in this world. All people need to find their way in this life, and that's what this story is all about. Each person needs to search out and find what they're good at, what interests … [Read more...]
Well, the time has come. I officially have no more babies. And I am not sure how I feel about it. On one hand I am super sad I will not have little ones at home with me this school year, but on the other hand since I have a full-time job now it will definitely give me a quieter home to work from. I always knew I would be back to work by the time my youngest was in school all day, but those "baby years" sure did fly by fast. Heck, I haven't even … [Read more...]
