Recently I attended the School Nutrition Association conference here in Denver. I wrote about it here, School Lunches, What are your kids really eating? I was super impressed to find out all of the healthy options and new regulations to make school lunches as nutritious as possible. My middle boy, Carter, hates to bring in a sack lunch, [...]

ParaNorman is the latest movie from Focus Features, the ones behind the cult hit Coraline. It hit theaters last week and is sure to be a hit! Can you speak with the dead? Do you have more ghostly friends than the warm blooded kind? You have a LOT in common with Norman Babcock. Norman has [...]

I was so lucky to be able to test drive the Chrysler Town & Country minivan for an entire week. We made that minivan work LIKE A BOSS! Taking in on shopping trips, family outings and even to the Mountains. Here I will share with you all the nitty gritty details, what I like, what I [...]

New environments such as birthday parties, group activities and classes can be very intimidating to shy children, especially those under five who are still developing their language [...]
