Awhile back the good people at Bear Naked sent us a couple packs of their Granola Cereals. Little did they know...or perhaps they did, those sneaky fiends, that our family would fall in love with them. Specifically we LOVE, with huge slobbery kisses, the Bear Naked All-Natural Granola in Banana Nut. My husband will often take a bag of the Banana Nut Granola and bento box full of dehydrated blueberries and eat them throughout his 12 hour shift. My kids like to have the granola (any of the … [Read more...]

Ready to Relax and Slow Down
I am dog tired these days. I seem to be spending too much time getting ready to move or worrying about the move and various other things (yeah, I am a worrier), lifting heavy boxes, and not getting to spend a quality fun time with the family.
