Girls love to read don't they? I spent hours flipping through books when I was little, and never went on a road trip with the family without an Archie comic! We usually traveled with my BFF's family and we would both read one on the way to our destination and then switch when we got there so we could have a new read for the trip home! But boys are a whole other breed, my oldest loved books when he was very young, but around age 5 I could already see it fading and by age 6, he was giving … [Read more...]
Tips to Keep your Boys Reading this Summer
Books to Marvel over at DK
Schools out for Summer.....ahhhh for a work at home mom, those words are bittersweet! While I long for those lazy days at the beach like any kid, I also have deadlines I need to make.

Fibre 1 Almond & Cluster Delight #Fibre1ACD
Are You Getting Enough Fibre? I mean, not to get too personal or anything, but many people probably aren't, including me! Our favourite way to sneak in the fibre at our house is fruit, but nuts and grains are a major source as well, especially for my cereal eating boys! Sadly, Mama is not a cereal lover. I wish I was, there is plenty of goodness to be had in those shiny bowls, but it's really not for me. I asked Hubs to give a brand new cereal from General Mills a try and … [Read more...]
