For the last few years, Jamie has been asking if he can go to Legoland in California for his 6th birthday (which is in September). We agreed, but told him it would be his only birthday present — no party, gifts, etc. to which he happily said yes. But then I realized we’d have a [...]
In honor of Earth day today, I made this bento for Jamie last night. His school is doing a lot to promote Earth Day and Jamie’s special interest is in stopping people from littering. I found a great book at a yard sale this weekend about Litterbugs and he’s been reading it over and over since then. [...]

So yeah. It’s been a while since I posted to this blog. Life seems to get in the way of my better laid plans! We’ve had one heck of a few months — I was sick for an entire week (I’ve never been sicker in my life), John was hospitalized twice since January (once for [...]

Les has not been feeling great with her pregnancy and I thought I would give her a little time to rest and relax a bit. So I took Jamie and Lauren for the weekend (or for a “two-night sleepover” as Jamie called it). We had a lot of fun, but I think she will have [...]

As Kate mentioned before, our company (yes, we work together, how lame is that?!) lets us leave early after our holiday luncheon. It’s been our tradition to use that time to take the kids to see Santa ever since Jamie was born. This year we tried the Tysons II Santa as we’d heard good things [...]

I’ve been doing this craft with Jamie since he was Sydney’s age. It’s a very simple craft, but good for a wide variety of ages. I’ve seen it done with glue, but my way is a little easier (although maybe not so safe). I bought small foam wreaths at Michaels – at $5 a pop [...]

I came along this cute craft online and decided it would be a perfect holiday crafts to do with the kids. Well, what I really thought was: “oh crap, I need to do an activity with them today. What can I do?? Oh, look, this uses things I already have at home. Sweet!” Sadly, Jamie sat [...]

For our 11th Christmas activity, we all attended the musical at Jamie’s school (I know, not really an “activity” per say. It was a long week. I’m reaching here). Sitting in the audience watching the pre-K and K kids sing their hearts out reminded me of the same kinds of events in the multi-purpose room [...]

I’ve been trying to talk to James lately about the spirit of Christmas and why we give to those in need at the holidays. I explained that while he is very blessed to part of a family that does not want for anything, there are many other families who don’t have as much as we do. I told him he’ll hopefully [...]
Jamie has been doing really well at school lately — SIX green days in a row so far. Which means I have been making him bentos, but with the Christmas activities, I’ve not had too much time to make them fun or cute. I felt badly about that so I made him this one last night. Our [...]
