Teacher appreciation week took place in Madeline’s school not too long ago. Maddy and I started brainstorming ideas one day and came up with an idea we loved. A few quick stops at a few stores and we were in business. We used a small basket, a piece of red gingham fabric, red and white paper, and a small piece of wire to attach the sign to the basket. Madeline was in charge of putting the gift together. After all, she benefits from her teachers awesomeness every single day. I just love Madeline’s handwriting. She’s

It is the last Monday of the school year. Madeline has about right days left in her kindergarten year. Don’t even get me started on how quickly this year has flown by. I’ve signed Maddy up for a few camps throughout the 9 weeks of summer break. She’ll get to spend a few hours a day for a week hanging out on a farm taking care of animals petting ponies and having fun. She’ll hang out at the pool or hiking or cooking for a handful of hours a day for a different week. During

Spring has sprung! Hip hip hooray spring is here! Spring is in the air! Actually as I type this there is 4 or 5 inches of snow in the ground and more falling from the sky. More like blowing sideways as it falls from the sky. Alas, this is spring in Colorado. Days of 60 degree weather lead up to a big old snow storm. I’m not complaining though. We need it and honestly spring snow is the prettiest snow. Even though this sort of weather is par for the course in Colorado it doesn’t

Madeline, Delaney and I hurried home from school pick-up today. Madeline and I were on a mission. We had been planning out a fun craft for the last couple of days and tonight we were going to make it happen. We don’t normally craft on school nights. With dance classes, school functions, dinner, homework, reading, and baths school nights blow by us in what feels like an instant. Tonight was special. I had already had dinner cooking in the slow cooker – a thrown together version of my slow cooker hamburger stew – and the

Spring is so close. Can you feel it? We still have to make it through the last bits of snow that are sure to come in March and April in Colorado but spring is kind of in the air. So I have spring holidays and spring sights and sounds on the brain. Rainbows and flowers, Saint Patrick’s Day and Easter, rainy days and warm sunshine. I am so ready! The great thing about spring crafts and spring activities is so many of them work for spring in general and a holiday or two also. The

Instead of a whole meal, today I would like to spotlight a great snack or side item for kid-friendly lunch. I talk a lot about healthy food and introducing variety into your kid’s diets around here. I try to pack a healthy and balanced lunch for Madeline every day. I want her to have the best fuel to keep her focused, engaged and learning all day long. I get into ruts sometimes though. I think we all do. It’s a hazard of packing a lunch everyday. Or cooking for the same people every single day. For this

I think the world of sweet potatoes. I love the color, the taste and the healthiness of them. For Madeline sweet potatoes are hit and miss. One day she likes them and the next she’s not a fan. I think a lot of it has to do with the way I serve them. One way she loves sweet potatoes is wrapped up in a burrito. Especially when she gets to make the burrito herself. Since she is in school she doesn’t get to make her own lunches all that often but when she does she
