Do you have certain holiday traditions that you do each year?  Growing up, I remember ours just like it was yesterday.  We would go to my moms parents house on Christmas Eve, have dinner with moms side of the family and do our gift exchange with my grandparents.  Then, we would load up and drive home.  Once home, we would do Christmas with each other and then go to bed.  The next day, we would go to my dad's moms house and do Christmas with my dads side of the family.  After exchanging gifts with my grandma, we would go home and rest, play with our gifts from everyone and when younger, my grandparents would all come over that afternoon to see what Santa brought us.  Of course the traditi...

Do your kids like fruits? Luckily for us, Broxton will try just about anything... Now, he might not try it the first time we offer it, but over time, he will at least try it. Whenever we go to visit my parents, he has to ALWAYS help my dad eat his lunch. My dad... Oh my dad... He is so set in his ways. Typical lunch: Couple pieces of lettuce (aka his salad) A little piece of meat of some sort. A couple grapes. A fruit cup and then a Popsicle. Every time he gets to the fruit cup, Broxton has to grab a spoon to help. To the point that when we come to visit, my dad normally sends Broxton home with a pack of fruit cups! (Isn't that just the sweetest?!) When I checked my email the other day, I was smiling to see an email about Del Monte and their new contest: " Teacher Monday: Cash for Classrooms ." What exactly is this contest? Well, it is an initiative to get teachers to promote healthy eating and living. Sixty teachers will win!!!! So, if you are a t...
