Peyton is at the age where I really want to encourage her to read. I want her to find her passion in reading. Experience how a book can take you to far off exotic places without leaving your home. National Geographic Kids has a line of chapter books geared towards encouraging children to embrace their curiosity and learn about different topics. We were sent a variety of National Geographic Kids books for Peyton to try out. First thing I noticed was that there are different levels to these ...

Teacher’s Survival Kit
As many of you know, Peyton's in 1st grade. We've dealt with a lot of illnesses this year. We've had 2 rounds of strep throat, several colds, a stomach virus and the school had a head lice outbreak!

Weeknight Dinner Dilemma Solved with Green Chef
I don't know about you, but my weeknights are crazy busy. When I get done at 5 pm with my job, I rush straight to Peyton's school and pick her up. I have to be there by 6 pm or there's extra fees and what not. So I try to hurry as fast as I can, I usually show up around 5:30-5:45 depending on traffic. Now that I have Peyton, it's time to head home and feed the dogs. The first half hour we are home it's busy! Check the mail, feed the dogs, feed the cats and see if there's anything that needs ...
