Have you ever watched a dog or a baby wake up from a nap? The first thing they do is stretch. And they stretch a lot. I think they might have something to teach us inflexible people, wouldn’t you say? This month for our healthy resolution we are going to focus on stretching more. I think…
DIY: Homemade Laundry Detergent
I sort of (really) embrace the idea of living a more natural lifestyle. I like the idea of fewer chemicals and more things homemade. I like reading ingredient lists on anything and everything and being able to actually understand them. This might be why one time my sister-in-law walked in my house and said it…
Family Friendly BUNKO
Just to make things clear right off the bat, the kind of BUNKO we play involves no gambling or money – only some dice, lots of friends and family, tons of laughing and excitement and some candy.

The Summer Essentials: Keeping Your Kids’ Minds and Bodies Active

It was a day of celebration and everyone knew we were just hours away from freedom! In our home, summer meant a few different things. While we…
