Sharing

We always want to hear about what your children love to have in their lunches. Email us your ideas and they could end up right here inspiring other moms. Does your child have a special joke that makes them laugh or perhaps has told you a hundred times? Well we want to hear them. Do you have fun tricks or treats for your child’s lunch from cookie cutter sandwiches to food characters? Please send us your ideas and pictures we’d love to see and share them. And if you love our cards we really want to hear from you!

Sometimes a band-aid isn’t enough

I clearly remember the day I found out I was pregnant. First there was jubilation, quickly followed by the inevitable fear about my child being healthy. Then the big day arrives and there he is…ten fingers, ten toes, all is good to go. As a parent you breathe a sigh of relief, but soon a [...]

Empty House

Well I don’t know about you, but I have joked about having all my children in school full time now for 8 years and this week it happened.
