Is Online Highschool Right for Your Teen? 




Our journey to a virtual school was a long one. It's definitely not for everyone. It takes a personality that can stay focused and be responsible. It also needs to be said that WHATEVER you decide to do as a parent, It's YOUR decision. Do what your...

What to do with Leftover Decorated Easter Eggs

Every Year I ask myself the same question, "What the heck do I do with ALL of these leftover decorated hard-boiled Easter eggs?"  Even though this kiddo in the picture below is 15 years old now, we STILL enjoy the creativity of dying Easter eggs every year.
