Cheese and Crackers Bento Box
My goal this summer is to keep Peyton excited about eating her lunches. I'm hoping that if I keep it new and fun she'll opt in for my healthy choices I'm sending with her to day camp rather than other items. This morning I decided to make her a cheese, crackers and beef stick based Bento Box. It's a fun twist on a classic! To start out this fabulous Bento Box meal I grabbed a little cookie cutter and cut my Colby-Jack cheese slices into hearts! A fun little spin on an ordinary slice of ...

It seems like every time I turn around these days there's an article telling me about all the harmful chemicals in our beauty products. So I try to choose products that are toxin free.

PB & J Sushi Bento Box
Today was the first day of summer camp!

Isn't this the time, in Peyton's childhood, where she needs protein, calcium, fresh fruits and veggies? So I've ...

There are 13 stories on the Caillou's Pet Parad including - Caillou and Gilbert Caillou is Scared of Dogs Caillou Walks a Dog Caillou Goes Birdwatching Callilou the Jungle ...
5-Minute Nighttime Bible Stories
Little ones love to listen to stories. Plus reading to your child is a wonderful way to increase their vocabulary. Peyton is fascinated by God and likes to hear the bible stories. But reading the actual bible to her can be a dry read or sometimes a tad too graphic. That's where 5-Minute Nighttime Bible Stories comes in. 5-Minute Nighttime Bible Stories is filled with the stories of the bible but brought down to a child's level. For example, when reading about Noah's Ark the focus is on how 2 ...
