Healthier Peanut Butter Cookies

I believe that making cookies with Mom should be a part of every kid's childhood. I also believe that making giant batches of sugary cookies isn't good for anyone -- and especially not for me.  So I am always on the lookout for whole grain, low sugar recipes to enjoy with my kiddos.  And I don't make giant batches of cookies because they will not stop calling to me until I've eaten every last one. If there are ... Read More

An indoor game to burn energy: Hunt for exercise cards!

We've had a string of very cold days here. The deal is that my four-year-old really needs an energy burner when he doesn't get outside.  I created this simple indoor game to burn energy for him and his five-year-old sister.    I make a series of index cards with an instruction to perform some kind of exercise -- each card also states where to find the next one. It gets the kids running all over the house and ... Read More
