I wanted to share something with you that I found to be really beneficial to my kids. I do my best to allow my kids to get as much hands on experience with life as possible. Take a look at the pictures below and you'll see what I mean.   :-)

I'm super excited to announce that I will be giving away some tablets, sometime next week.  I don't have all the details but FedEx has them arriving next week.  Please stay tuned for more information and between now and then I will be sharing information about the people and company behind this amazing giveaway.  I'm really excited.  Please stay tuned.

I realize that may sound a bit cliche but it is what it is.  Trying to get our lives in track is no easy task.  In fact, at times I feel it's impossible.  I so desperately want to be free from all the baggage we've collected over the years.  I want to see the boys happy and healthy. I want to be caught up on our bills and dramatically improve our living environment. However, to do…
