I still remember my son coming out of his playroom and letting me know there were ants in there. Of course my husband and I sprang into action assuming recent rain had driven them inside as so often happens here in Texas. However as we began to move around the contents of the room we […]
Fall is just beginning but as those of us with children know Halloween will be here before we know it! I don’t know about in your neighborhood but in ours there have been a few times a few neighbors were ready to head to bed and literally dumped their whole bowl in my son’s […]
This week we have had highs in 80’s in Texas which means to us it feels like fall! So this mama wanted to get in the fall spirit and make some fun treats for my child’s lunchbox. Rice Krispie treats are always a winner and are easy enough to make I could get my […]
We have all heard the warnings about letting our children stare at the screens in their lives for too long.
