Logan will be 5 in a few weeks. By the time school starts in the fall, he’ll be 5-1/2. The girls, whose birthday is in June, started kindergarten when they were 5. Cody started this fall at age 6 because his birthday is in mid-August, right on the cutoff line. And thus begins the kindergarten [...]

Cody knows everything there is to know about life. Just ask Logan. It’s so cute to listen to the two of them. I often overhear them talking and it has become apparent to me that Logan is using Cody as his main source of information, which is both sweet and scary. The conversation I heard [...]

Cody has been in kindergarten for five months now. And the homework has been, at times, piling up. Homework in kindergarten?? Yes, it’s true. Homework. In kindergarten. At the tender age of 6. Maybe it’s just me, but I have a big problem with my kindergartener having homework. A HUGE problem. Hence the homework pileup. [...]

I’ve been working on the same post for days now. It’s not that difficult of a subject, but I seem to be having trouble saying what I want to say. So, I decided to post this yummy, time-saving bran muffin recipe for now, while I finish up the aforementioned post. This recipe makes a gallon-size [...]
