We have been so busy lately that it feels like I have not been able to connect as much as I want to with my children. Last night after a meeting that ended about 7 pm I decided to see if my son was free to do something fun (and for me unusual). I called…

Mini Pizza Rolls
After a weekend that was overflowing with lots of great stuff I didn’t have a chance to get a post together for yesterday. My son was part of the Michigan State Science Olympiad competition this past weekend. He finished 6th in Microbe Mission and 8th in Optics. He was thrilled and a little puzzled as…
Chocolate Coated Popcorn
Our local theater sells reusable plastic popcorn buckets twice a year. For $30 you buy a bucket and get to use if for the next five-six months. Every time you go to a movie you can get it filled and refilled while you are there. But, the best part is you don’t even need to…

Some Days Are Like That Dinner
Yes, we all have days where we cannot even get dinner to the table without trauma. So tonight we had a “snacky” dinner. Cheese, apples, pretzels, crackers, salami, sunflower seeds and sesame sticks. Not overly nutritious but combined with a movie in my bed it was just what my family needed.
