If you are reading this, then you can, with sympathies, imagine me in a packed-to-the-brim mini van with 5 active kids. We’re on our way to spend the holidays with Nana and Grandpap in Florida. Whenever anybody hears that we are crazy enough to drive 18 hours with 7 people packed in a car, they…
Where’s Lolli?
In the spirit of Christmas and the great Waldo, here’s a little Where’s Lolli? holiday photo. May you have a wonderful holiday, whether you celebrate Christmas like us or another Winter holiday.

Teaching Kids the Spirit of Giving, Not Receiving
As soon as Halloween is over, the Christmas decorations slowly make their way out in every store. By the time Thanksgiving is here, Christmas has officially taken over retail, television, and radio. Soon our neighborhoods are also reminders of the Holiday season. It’s hard to leave the house or tune in to anything outside your…

Party in a Box (a Mozaik Giveaway)
Over the weekend, while my dad was in town, my sister and two nieces gathered at my house for a big pre-holiday family dinner. When I’m feeding a crowd, I really don’t like to use regular dishes because the clean-up afterwards takes as long as the food preparation before the meal….Especially when the dishwasher is…

Santa Pictures
Ask any child about Santa and their eyes widen and sparkle and a smile erupts on their face. He brings presents! He has reindeer! He flies in a sleigh! But ask that same child to sit on Santa’s lap (at least if they live in my house) and suddenly Santa is a scary, intimidating character….
