I received a comment the other day from a reader that I want to address. I had sent out an email highlighting some posts I thought would be helpful for the back to school season like first day of school signs, 20 ground beef recipes, etc or something like that. Then a long time reader left a comment. I know she is a long time reader, because I remember her leaving me a comment years and years ago. Her original comment was back on a post about life with young children, family and my thoughts ...

A Summer Wrap-Up
This summer was really important to me. I have a hard time putting it all in words. This summer felt like the last bit of life as we knew it.

Now we can spell all sorts of fun things! The kids really like playing with them. They like ...
Tic Tac Toe Rocks Activity or Gift
My children, Eleanor in particular, have an obsession with rocks. Their obsession is driving my husband crazy, because we have rocks sprawled all over our yard. I have a few rock crafts up my sleeve though. I have had these Elmer's Painters pens for years. I originally got them for a campaign way back when and have completed quite a few crafts with them. I'll share those projects at the bottom of the post. The rocks were gathered by my children at the beach. You technically only need ...
