We are a week past Spring Break, but I wanted to post and record all the fun we had before I forget. I didn’t manage to plan a menu for the week, but I did come up with a menu of fun to keep us busy and out of the house. I hope to...

If you are a peace-loving household that forbids children to play with guns, you will want to stop reading now. However, if you are not anti-gun, and have some stir crazy kids, I propose the following rainy day activity: Target Practice Go to http://www.mytargets.com, to find a variety of printable targets.

One of the great things about sending my kids to Vacation Bible School, is they come home learning and loving new Christian tunes. I have especially loved catching my three year old sing to himself. The favorite song they acquired from VBS this year is called “Rise & Sing”, and it’s a catchy little...
Last Saturday, one of our neighbors hosted a backyard movie night. This family does this every so often and it’s always a fun time. They also organize our neighborhood block party each year, so you know they love a good party. Families are invited while it’s still daylight and the kids have a blast...

Yesterday, we enjoyed a fun afternoon soiree at my brother’s house. We had a party for good family friends who will be moving away (boo hoo!). We brought the kids’ bikes, since my brother lives on a cul de sac, it makes for a nice safe place to ride. Or so I thought.
This past week, I had my kids enrolled at “Camp Straight Street“, a day camp run by Cherrydale Baptist Church. I’m familiar with the church since I’m involved in their mom’s group so I was excited to see them offering this program this year. I was looking for an all day camp to give...
Sam loves to learn how to do new things and loves to help in the kitchen. I confess, I’m not always eager to have the kids underfoot, but Mike has been great about teaching them. Sam and Wendy learned to crack eggs at a young age — I’m pretty sure he had Sam doing...
