20 Healthy Breakfast and Lunch Ideas

nyny-lunch-09

As a stay at home mom, it's so easy to skip meals and just graze throughout the day.  But that's not a very healthy habit, since the things we graze on tend to be things like M&Ms and such.  I am so guilty of fasting all day long and then bingeing at night.  But I am less likely to binge if I eat regular meals throughout the day because A) I'm not so ravenous by dinnertime, and B) Sitting down to eat during the day helps me to relax and … [Read more...]

12 Water Play Activities for Kids

So now that Memorial Day has passed, it's officially WATER season!  That's the season where we pretend that it's super hot outside even if it's 65 degrees and go swimming every day.  Well if you are like me with pretty little kids, going swimming can be a big production.  Our local neighborhood pool is not very small-child friendly so we'd have to drive pretty far for a good pool.  And trying to swim with three little kids is exhausting and … [Read more...]
