Go Green this Easter :: Basket and Craft Ideas!
Easter is here! I have such fond memories of hunting for Easter eggs as a kid that each year I try to make it special for my daughter. We usually host the neighborhood Easter egg hunt and love seeing the kids excited about finding little treasures. For the older kids I put money in the eggs and ask them not to pick up the eggs that are “hidden” in plain site. These guys are for the little ones! This year we have some green ideas to incorporate this year for Easter. From using recycled and shredded colored craft paper to fill your baskets to making your own confetti…

Education :: Complete Preschool Curriculum
This is our second year as a homeschool family. I have a preschooler who will be going into kinder this fall and a second grader. Last year I didn’t do anything formal with my three year old since figuring out homeschool with my first grader was hard enough. When she wanted to participate I gave her manipulatives, things to color, sticker books, or our wipe-clean books to help her practice pen control. This year I was more structured and always had something available for her to do that counted as “school work”. She likes learning, so it’s important to me that I always have something for her to do.…

Walt Disney Animation Studios Zootopia Out in Theaters Now!
“In Zootopia, anyone can be anything.” In its 92-year history, Walt Disney Animation Studios has created a long and storied legacy of talking-animal films—from Mickey Mouse’s debut short “Steamboat Willie” to “Bambi,” “Dumbo,” “The Jungle Book,” “Robin Hood” and “The Lion King.” WDAS returns to the wild with the feature film “Zootopia.” “We all grew up watching the great Disney animal films—we were immersed in those worlds,” says director Byron Howard. “My favorite childhood film was ‘Robin Hood,’ and we wanted to honor that legacy, but in a new and different way that dives even deeper.

5 Tips for Making Valentine’s Day Extra Special!
My husband and I disagree about Valentine’s Day. He gets overwhelmed (and a bit annoyed) by all the hype surrounding Valentine’s Day and doesn’t get why we need one day to express or show our love to family and friends. He aspires to show this daily and not on just one day. I understand his thinking, but my feeling is to not think you have to go over the top with diamonds, flowers and chocolates (but that’d be nice wouldn’t it?) but, instead think of it as a day of demonstrating how much you care about your family. There is no pressure, just do what you are up to doing, and…
