By: Kris Berry Halloween, love it or hate it, is quickly approaching. Personally, I’ve never really been that into Halloween, but since having kids I’ve been trying to find ways to make it fun (and safe) for them. And, because I’m cheap, I like to come up with several opportunities for my kids to wear … More Halloween Happenings
By: Kris Berry This week my boys started Preschool. I spent the better part of my life going “back to school,” but this is the first time I’m experiencing it as a parent.

By: Kris Berry My sons, Blackbeard and Captain Hook, are obsessed with pirates. They make their little sister walk the plank when she’s done something naughty. They bring their foam swords everywhere (even to bed). I’m not allowed to call them by their real names, only “Blackbeard” and “Captain Hook.” They have already asked that … More Ahoy, Mateys!

By: Kris Berry Father’s Day is Sunday. Don’t ask me why (although I can give you about 1,000,000 reasons), but it seems that the older the children get, the more forgetful I’ve been getting. It seems like the days just whiz by and I don’t even notice. So if you are like me, you have … More Eeek, It’s Almost Father’s Day!
By: Kris Berry The other day my kids were taking a bath when they started to paint the walls with soap and bubbles. I had the idea to make them some “paint” they could use instead. It was really simple to make, smelled great, and clean-up was a breeze. What you need: Shaving cream*, food … More Good Clean Fun
By: Kris Berry There are days when I’m disappointed in who I am as a parent. I raise my voice more than I’d like. I fret over my messy house. I get upset over silly things or lose my patience too easily. I’m really trying hard to not take myself so seriously as a parent. … More Sometimes You Just Have To Laugh
