With the advancement of technology comes to loss of important skills like handwriting. I know I spend a lot more time typing on a computer than I do actually writing out things with paper and pen. I think handwriting is a very important skill that needs to be taught to all children. Many children spend…
I pack a bottle of water for Jude’s school lunch everyday. It’s not only economical but better for him than most sugary juice box drinks. I know he enjoys juice boxes so I decided to give the new Tum-E Yummies Kids Water Enhancers a try. The New Tum-E Yummies Kids Water Enhancers have no sugar,…
Summer means two things in the Lieb house peaches and ice cream. And the combination of the two equals the ultimate summer treat, peach ice cream. Joe and I received an ice cream maker as a wedding gift from Joe’s parents along with his mother’s ice cream recipe. It’s more of a custard recipe but…
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…
I pride myself on being a pretty low maintenance girl. However, there are times that a little pampering and primping are a must. For instance it had been almost 2 years since my last hair cut and my hair, which has always been fairly short, was close to reaching my waist. Last week I finally…
Jude starts his official first day of 1st grade on Tuesday. Last week he had a few “transition days” which help new students get acclimated to the classroom environment (he attends a small private school). I’m really excited for the start of the school year. Not because I want to push him out of the…

I’ve finally switched out my regular clothes for maternity clothes. I specifically needed the elastic waist pants now that my mid-section is getting wider. I have a…
Jude starts school in a week which means busy mornings. This year I’m hoping to be better prepared for school morning breakfasts by creating some make-ahead breakfast items like these Strawberry Oatmeal Bars. Strawberry Oatmeal Bars Ingredients Directions I think these make for the perfect on-the-go breakfast. If you bake them the night before and…

School starts in just a few weeks which means back-to-school shopping. Jude has to wear a uniform to school so I don’t have to think too much about his daily outfits but he does need non-school fall clothes. I’ve always been a fan of Carter’s clothing for my babies and toddlers, after all they are…
