No! Not a real snai!. You'll never find a post for "How to Eat a Real Snail" on this blog. I promise. This post is "How to Eat a Cinnamon Roll Snail with Marshmallows." That sounds a lot better, doesn't it? Clark's fifth birthday is tomorrow, so this week we have been gearing up for the celebration!  At our preschool it is customary for the parents to bring a special snack for the class on their child's birthday.  I'm terrible, but I don't generally get involved in such things, but Clark is now at an age where...

It’s Super Bowl Week at preschool and We. Are. Not. Super Bowlers.  We don’t have a single team jerseys. I wouldn't know a team mascot if it hit me in the face. I have no clue what color represents each team.  In fact, I don’t even know who is in the Super Bowl this year!  I’ve had to do some quick internet research in order to properly equip my son for all the activities this week at school.  Thankfully, today, was a more simple task of taking a “Super Bowl snack” to share with the class.  Clark loves cupcakes, so we decided on that.  I...

Mondays are a killer for me.  I work full-time nights. That's 12 hours every Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

A couple of years ago, we had an incident that convinced us that we did...

Holidays can often be difficult in our family because of my work schedule.  As a Registered Nurse working in a hospital, I have a requirement to work several Holidays a year. Because of this, our Holidays are rarely on their actual day and they are frequently split up in order to get all of the fun in.  This Easter was one of those Holidays. Yesterday afternoon, we squeezed in our Easter Egg Hunt before I had to leave for work. I semi-hid some plastic eggs with little surprises in them. What I didn't expect was the kids to...

What greater way to finish up our study of jellyfish than a trip to the aquarium?!  We teamed up with a local homeschool group for a nice discount to visit an aquarium downtown. I had been hesitant to visit it because the price was a little crazy, but the homeschool group got an amazing deal and there was no way we were going to turn that down!   Aquarium Scavenger Hunt Before we went, I thought I'd get Clark and Luci a little more engaged by making up a little scavenger hunt for them.  You can download them HERE if...
