George and The Boys!

Thinking about what’s coming for the summer?  Me too!!  The boys will be out of school soon, so that means planning trips, VBS, camps, playdates, you name it.  You know its on your mind, “What are we going to do?”  So I’ve been thinking. “…a dangerous pastime.  I know.”   Anywho, the teacher in me is [...] . . . → Read More: George and The Boys!

Writing Again…

What can I say?  I haven’t written, but it’s been in the back of mind constantly.  Being out of the habit makes it difficult to start again, however, I’m determined.  So I’ll add the two latest anecdotes I have which are short and  simple. Alex won his tennis game on Wednesday, and we were so [...] . . . → Read More: Writing Again…

Here’s Your Free Lemonade

For two years, Alex has wanted a lemonade stand. Saturday was his chance. Mid morning would be good. If any yardsalers were out, possibly they might drive by. But I tried to prepare the boys for the fact that would only sell a few cups to neighbors and that would be ok. Set up came. [...] . . . → Read More: Here’s Your Free Lemonade

Where Do I Begin? Wednesdays – Playroom Clean-out

Wednesday is here again. I really do enjoy Wednesdays because they fall right in the middle. Being a person that has a hard time making decisions, it’s a good day for people like us. It’s in the beginning of the week or is it the end? I see Wednesday as the day to get things [...] . . . → Read More: Where Do I Begin? Wednesdays – Playroom Clean-out

Around the World Weekend

The lemonade stand was put on hold. Instead, we had an international weekend focus! The nature of Kevin’s work allows the employees to go many places all of the world. That also applies for people coming here to the company, so for a few weeks, someone from Sweden has been visiting working here locally. One [...] . . . → Read More: Around the World Weekend

Lemonade Stand

In our Summer Learning Plan that the boys and I are currently attempting, some , this week we’ve talked about businesses and what people do to run their business.  Well, if I didn’t realize it, I do now.  My boys think they can sell hundreds of cups of lemonade.  I hated to burst their bubble, [...] . . . → Read More: Lemonade Stand

Where Do I Begin? Wednesdays – Summer Reading

Where do I begin to get my kids reading for the summer? Summer is a great time to read with children, or encourage them to read on their own. Maybe you’ve got a little extra time because you’re not running the kids to school or carting them to sports or dance practice in the afternoons. [...] . . . → Read More: Where Do I Begin?

Snowcones Done Right!

One thing we love to eat are snowcones. A couple of years ago, Kevin and I were in a store and saw a snowcone machine. Not a tiny one, a big one that looked like a carnival snowcone machine, but small enough that it could fit on your dining room table. So we jumped in because [...] . . . → Read More: Snowcones Done Right!

Yummy Coleslaw and Salsa Recipes

Memorial Day provided lots of opportunity to chow down on some fabulous food. In the middle of it all, someone asked me for my recipe for the coleslaw I brought. While it’s my favorite coleslaw recipe, it’s not mine, but from my favorite cookbook, Come On Over by Gooseberry Patch. Check out their website, too!

A Dining Room or Art Studio?

Yesterday, I heard angels singing. You know those shows where the spotlight shines down on a soul going through self-discovery and a chorus of angels chimes in singing, “Aaaahhhh!” I had one of those moments when I opened the door to Imagine Art Studio for my boys to walk through and cross to the other [...] . . . → Read More: A Dining Room or Art Studio?
