I have never tried to hide the fact that I have a sweet tooth. In fact, I embrace it on my blog and at home. Sweet is my flavor. BUT. I am also conscious of what I eat and try to find sweet things that can satisfy my craving and are not simply empty calories…
Bing “Our School Needs” Campaign
With five kids in the public school system, my family has been influenced and taught by no less than 55 teachers in the last 10 years (I did a rough count!). As a trained and certified teacher myself, I know how much work teaching a classroom full of energetic kids can be, especially when resources…
Kindergarten at the Pumpkin Patch
I’ve now been on five kindergarten field trips to the pumpkin patch. Five hay rides with shouting, giggling, wiggling five years olds. Five runs through corn mazes. Five searches for the perfect pumpkin times 20. There’s nothing like the annual Fall Farm Field Trip. But this was my last. My last kindergartener. Of all the…
Halloween Parade 2010
The school-wide Halloween parade has got to be my favorite part of Halloween (the parade is only slightly ahead of the post-trick-or-treating candy tasting). This year, AJ decided at the last minute that he no longer wanted to be the werewolf and would rather dress in his size 2T-3T knight costume instead. Luckily, I was…
The Pier 1 Fairy to the Rescue!
This post brought to you by Pier 1 Imports. All opinions are 100% mine. I admit it. I’m not the holiday entertaining type. It’s Candyman who typically makes the push for inviting people over for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Despite the fact that we have a family of seven already, he swears that holidays just aren’t…
Invisalign Teen “Make Me Smile” Challenge
When my babies got their first tiny baby teeth, they were nothing short of perfect. Little, white (sharp!), perfect little teeth. And then they got another and another and it became clear that the teeth might not be lining up quite right.. There were spaces where there should be none and over-laps where there should…
Beauty and the Beast (Halloween 2010)
I’m kind of sad that my kids are getting older (at least at Halloween), because honestly….older kids are no fun on Halloween. Gone are the cute character costumes or plush, huggable dress-ups. Big kids don’t like to be fairy princesses or action heros. Luckily, I can still enjoy my youngest two on Halloween. At least…

Cups of Hope
According to Wikipedia, breast cancer comprises 10.4% of all cancer incidence among women, making it the most common type of non-skin cancer in women and the fifth most common cause of cancer death. In 2004, breast cancer caused 519,000 deaths worldwide (7% of cancer deaths; almost 1% of all deaths). With more than 290,000 women…
