Have you ever wondered some tips for visiting a butterfly house? We went last year to the Butterfly House at Perry’s Cave and Family Fun Center on Put-In-Bay, Ohio.

We have seen all sorts of ideas all over the internet and on pinterest using pallets. Since I want to expand our garden and just learned that raised garden beds offer double the yield of a normal row garden I really wanted to put our pallet raised garden beds to use. A month of so…
Am I the only one that dreams of the glorious adventures to be had during Summer reading time? I consider myself a reader although not very avid anymore. I guess you could say that 4 children can take up a lot of the “spare reading” time. But this Summer I want to read each day…
Welcome back to Day 9 of the Children’s A to Z Instagram Photo Challenge! Today we are focusing on the Letter I. Lil’ Red took a picture of an ice cube with the help of Daddy! I like how they took the ice cube outside and placed it on an upside down Replay Recycled bowl! I also…
June is here and so is another installment of our Nature Book Club. We choose The Listening Walk as our book since this month’s theme is Nature Hike and Discovery! We also decided to visit a smaller park in our town that has paved paths in the middle of the forest. This park also allows…
With May almost gone and hot Summer temps on our heals it was definitely time for a Spring Wildflowers Identification Hike. It has rained quite a bit and I knew that more flowers would be popping up over the forest floor. We live in a county with over 20 preserves and reserves and less than an…

This is our second November to be personally involved in Type 1 Diabetes since Eldest was diangosed 12/13/14. Just like last year JDRF is offering a free overlay that says, “T1D Looks Like Me”. It is easy and you can turn any picture into a Type 1 Diabetes support image! I am sharing one of…
Sometimes you joke about significant dates in History and how you will always remember where you were like 9/11 when hubby and I were stuck in Vegas for 3 extra days. I could tell you all about the tiny hotel room and how I flipped on the tv to see replays on the first Tower…
6 to 1 for dinner. 6 to 1 for bedtime snack. It’s heart wrenching to hear this as a mom. If you aren’t familiar with Type 1 Diabetes it means nothing. If you do know anything about the battle of hormones, puberty, the teen years and Type 1 Diabetes you can mourn with me. Now…
I loathe Facebook even though I use it daily for work and support. Did you know that there are a handful of Type 1 Diabetes support groups on Facebook? I am sharing all of the national ones that I have found. I skipped sharing local ones as those will not apply to everyone. Type 1…
