If You Were Me and Lived in the....Middle Ages by Carole P Roman is not your typical children's book. First off, it's thick! There are over 70 pages filled with illustrations and story as well as another dozen for a glossary. I was very impressed when I opened it up and I hadn't even started reading yet!

Thinking About Going Back to School?
Remember the days leading up to graduation? How exciting it was? How stressful it was? It's not only teenagers that get to have those butterflies in their stomachs and have their nerves stressed. There is always so much excitement around the weeks leading up to back to school. We get our shopping lists for supplies, new school clothes, and we start getting ourselves prepared for a new schedule. And even as parents, when our kids go back to school, our schedules change.

A Little Mommy Time
Summer is over. The kids are in school. I feel like a success because I have gotten through the first week of school, Peyton has not been late, has had a homemade lunch every day, a peanut free snack and homework is done!

Dinner and a Show: Beauty and the Beast
We are a Disney loving family, so when I saw the Chanhassen Dinner Theater was going to be performing Beauty and the Beast I had to buy tickets. Some may think I'm crazy for taking a child to a dinner theater but I think it's some of the best money I've ever spent. Plus, I'll let you in on a secret, join their mailing list. They send out offers with discounts for every show! We don't see every show at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre. I am pretty particular about which shows we get tickets too. ...
