    It is so important to remember why we celebrate Memorial Day.  Freedom is most definitely not free.  Now that our children are older, we really wanted them to take a little time to remember those who gave their lives for our country.  We decided to ride our bikes to a cemetery near our home that…

    We took this class on “Currclick”.  I highly recommend it.  It is ten dollars and worth every penny.  How many kids simply look at Memorial Day as nothing more than a day off?  Thanks to this class I don’t think my children will ever forget the true meaning of Memorial Day and those individuals who…

    If it is Tuesday odds are we are eating something out of the crock-pot.  We have more activities on Tuesday than any other day.  I have found that crock-pot recipes are hit or miss.  A lot of times I have found they smell better than they actually taste and are lacking in the flavor department. …
