100 Days of Summertime {giveaway}
Tomorrow is the big day for us – the kids’ last day of school. Sort of. Because they’ve both opted to go to summer school, which starts on Wednesday. And I’m having mixed feelings about that, because on the one hand I’m glad that they love school and that my schedule will be free to help with the new business if needed, but on the other hand, it’s a whole month of summer that kind … Read entire article »

Back to School: Calendar Keeping
I was up way too late last night. It was day three of back to school, and I thought I better get a handle on things before they got out of hand. Things being Calendars.

In that time, we’ve gotten lots of questions about the cruising with Disney. So, I’ve decided to do a series of posts about our trip. Below is a post that Craig wrote and originally posted on another blog last summer about planning our trip. In January of 2010, we took advantage of the “Kids Sail Free” program and went on a 4-night Bahamas cruise on the Disney Wonder (2nd oldest DCL ship) with two young kids (3 year girl and 2 year old boy). As soon as that cruise ended, I started looking into our … Read entire article »

Making a Plan…
Today I’ve been in spring-summer planning mode, thanks to a great article I found on The Savvy Source website called Planning Your Year. If you have a preschooler in your house, I think you’ll love this resource too. The article starts with an introduction to planning, and then highlights specific holidays and seasonal pass-times with links to specific crafts and activities for each month. From doing coin rubbings this Monday for Presidents Day, to planting a … Read entire article »
