Last night my husband and I took our daughter to see Disney on Ice. It was her 5th birthday present and the second year we have done this for her so I guess it is kind of tradition now. I have incredible memories of Disneyland and Disney World. When I was a kid we used to go every Christmas to one or the other. I have been on the Haunted Mansion ride more than anyone probably should, LOL. "Hurry Baaaaack." So of course when I had kids we also started going. Although to be honest as I get older … [Read more...]

Butter Ball Cookies Recipe
A couple years ago I used to make rolled oat peanut butter balls for my kids. I decided to try to make them with almond butter and see how they turned out. They are a nice, not to sweet treat.

Arthur Saves the Planet & Worm Up
This weekend the kids and I broke out some board games. I needed to keep them occupied and quiet so that daddy could try and recoup after a small bit of elective surgery a couple days ago. Games are a favorite in this house. We played Arthur Saves the Planet and Worm Up. They are both FRED distribution games.
