The Library

Do you ever have those days where you just are home with the children and are looking for something to do? Try your local library. Books open the door to a whole new world, whether you are reading to your little ones or chatting about a book your older ones have read. One fun thing to do is to explore your libraries in your county. Often we use the one closest to our home to rent dvd's for free or to go for a quick trip but we have found that there are bigger libraries in our county and the children enjoy visiting the different libraries. Each library has a unique children's area with different puzzles and toys :) Some libraries even have Cafe's in them now so mom can grab a cup of hot tea or coffee :) Also remember to pick up a book of classes in your district while you are there- they have children's art classes, music, and some are a great idea for a mom's night out or a new hobby~

Quick 5 minute stir fry

Have you ever had a craving for stirfry but don't want to wait for delivery or spend an hour chopping up veggies?
Keep some grilled, cut, chicken breasts in the freezer and when you have a craving throw some in a frying pan with frozen broccoli,sweet and sour sauce, and some water chestnuts. Top with rice noodles ~

A day in the life of a mom

 This morning started off fair enough, woke up, made the kids breakfast, and then checked my emails...3 hours later and I am still glued to my email, my cell is almost dead, and I managed to triple my workload. Ever have days like this? If so please post below :))
