The family packed up the van and headed out to enjoy The Gift of Lights at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway a few weekends ago. I was so happy when a friend posted pictures from when she visited in past years The Gift of Lights in Texas. Never had I heard of The Gift of Lights being in New Hampshire, so once I saw that it was, we knew we had to take our children there. We all love Christmas Lights so much and this Gift of Lights event is happening through January 5, 2014. There’s still time to go check out the Gift of Lights, only $20 per car. You drive along looking at all of the spectacular lights and even go through the super cute, Tunnel of Lights. …

Then he will proceed to tell you that he will just punch him in the face. This kid has a mouth on him the size of Texas, no joke. Since he will be in preschool soon, hopefully, I am working on figuring out how to properly redirect his amazing imagination with a less mouthy touch. It’s. not. working. yet. The other night I needed to cook dinner because the children need to eat. My daughter was at her Dad’s house so it was just the boys and me. It’s easy to cook dinner, most nights, when all three kids …
Daycare
Contribution by German Flowers My sister and I have decided to open up a daycare. We want it to be fun and educational; a step above other day cares. We have already bought a small building with a warehouse behind it. Our plan is to use the warehouse and have a room dedicated to indoor play. That way, if the weather outside is too cold or wet, the kids will still be able to release some energy. The indoor play area will have huge inflatables and a plastic play set off to the side. For smaller children, we plan to have a room filled with a few very small slides, swings, and toys. The whole warehouse will also be equipped with televisions. In the main play area, children will be …
