Healthy Easter Basket Ideas
We’re a family who tries to eat healthy, whole food. When holidays come around it is sometimes a challenge to stick to our values, especially when the holiday centers around 1 pound solid chocolate Easter bunnies. However, this year, I had some healthy Easter basket ideas. They’re a little outside the box, but I think they’ll go over big. Lose the “basket” and the green plastic grass. This year I decided to move away from the regular basket, with candy and junk and put together a “basket” that will last for the whole season, will teach lessons, and help her learn more about rebirth as well as where our food comes from. I grabbed a metal bucket ~ a pretty one ~ but then I found a better flexible tub (same color),...
Dance your Family to Healthy
Dance can be a fun, easy way to introduce physical activity into a child’s life. As a provider of educational child care, Primrose Schools has recognized and is actively fighting against the childhood obesity epidemic. Childhood obesity is a critical issue for young children in America. The Family Dance-off supports Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, a non-profit organization that raises funds for more than 170 children’s hospitals, which collectively treat 17 million children annually for every illness and injury imaginable. Through their annual Family Dance-off event, families are encouraged to record and submit a 30 second video of themselves dancing to promote fitness and strengthen family ties. Participating in the Family Dance-off is...
It’s Beginning to Sound a Lot Like Christmas
You may have seen last year’s picture with Santa ~ not so happy. This year, apparently, her overwhelming desire for a “hair Barbie” has changed her tune and got her sitting on Santa’s lap with a smile. (click the picture for a bigger version) She’s also learned some great songs at school, including Jingle Bells. jinglebells (click the link to listen) Please note her version of this timeless classic includes a “stupid” sleigh. Which made me laugh so hard I cried the first time she sang it. Merry...

Hanna has no love for Santa
My mom took Hanna to the annual Christmas party at Learjet. Last year she utterly refused to even think about talking with Santa. However, this year ~ she was all about it. She stood in line for 25 minutes waiting to see Santa. Practiced telling him she wants a big pony and a little pony the whole time they waited. They got the to front of the line and she said oh no way. I guess my mom was talked into sitting in Santa’s chair with her, and the elf snuck this picture. My mom wasn’t even aware there was a picture. She only found out about it when she stopped in the company store and the ladies all told her she HAD to see this amazing picture of Hanna (my mom shops there a lot and everyone knows her lol) This is my FAVORITE picture. I just love it. It is...
State Fair 09
The day finally came ~ the day we went to the state fair or as Hanna knows it “The BIG Fair”. She remembered last year’s trip to the fair and I have literally been hearing about going back to fair since that day. I fear this year will be even worse. She had a BLAST at the fair. She was well behaved, she listened, she had sooooo much fun, and it was a joy to spend the day with her and watch her experience all the delight of the fair. I took lots of videos, which you can find on my youtube channel. (now that my video camera software is working properly I will be adding plenty more video ~ since it’s so easy. If you want to see new videos just subscribe to my channel and you’ll be notified when I add videos) I thought I would post some...
