BFree from Wheat and Gluten

BFREE Wheat and Gluten Free Products

After Peyton's 6-year-old check up I have really started to take a look at what she eats.  After tracking her diet for a few weeks what I noticed was carbs, wheat and low protein were her meal choices when away from me. The school system and camp she attends both follow the federal food guidelines. The federal food guidelines is a bunch of nonsense. I even discussed it with our family doctor and she said Peyton would be better off if I sent her lunch to school with her. So that is what I've been ...

Baxter Turns Down His Buzz

Baxter Turns Down His Buzz

Reading to children on a daily basis is important. While you are reading to your child it's a great time to choose stories with a lesson.

Those children were labeled as trouble makers or class clowns. Thanks to my grandmother, my brother was not labeled either of those, he was diagnosed with ADHD and given the classroom setting he needed to ...

Turkey and Cheese Bento Box

Turkey and Cheese Rectangles

I've been doing shapes in Peyton lunches for a while now. And I have been a little bad about keeping up with the dishes. So today I just sliced her sandwich into quarters and stacked them in her bento box. It was a tight fit, but I didn't want to waste any of the sandwich so I squished it in. I used thinly sliced turkey breast and Colby Jack cheese thinly sliced to make this meal.I had some blackberries and blueberries I needed to use up before they spoiled so I washed them off and filled up the ...

Lilla’s Sunflowers

I know many families with loved ones in the military. It's hard on little ones when Mom or Dad is deployed and they are left behind. Children understand their parent needs to leave for work but the long spans of time they are gone is difficult on the family.  Lilla's Sunflowers is about a little girl named Lilla and her Papa. Papa is in the military and is going to have to go away for an extended tour. One of their favorite things to do together is sit in Lilla's sunflowers and sing songs ...
