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!

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”.

Homemade Linguine and Clams Recipe
Last night my in-laws treated me to a favorite recipe that’s been in their family for almost 50 years and I was in heaven! Linguine and clams is one of my all-time favorites and when they heard that I love this meal they made a huge dish of it for all of us to enjoy. My father-in-law received a recipe gift box filled with recipes (remember when they use to give those out?) when he was working for a bank over 40 years ago as a giveaway for their employees. Though not all the recipes stuck around this one is in their top 5 and I can see why. If you like linguine…
