My boys love raisins, they eat them almost every day. They are the perfect on-the-go, healthy snack. I often pack raisins in Jude’s school lunch. Occasionally I will make a fun after-school treat, Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. Ingredients Directions In a large bowl cream butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla In a separate bowl whisk…

I spend a good deal of money on back-to-school items. From notebooks and pens to school uniforms and shoes I would hate to have to replace things because they were misplaced. Labeling your child’s school possessions at least gives misplaced items a fighting chance to be reunited with their owner which is why I label…
