The GRAPE Big Taste Test
Ruble studied the letter G this week so what else could we taste but GRAPES! I purchased three different colors of seedless grapes for the children to try.

Serve vegetables with a dipping sauce. [...]

Boys! (Boy Mom Blog Hop #BMBH)
This post is a part of the Boy Mom Blog Hop. Welcome to all who venture here from The MOB Society! As my children grow older, I am really surprised at how different boys and girls really are.

Taste Test: A is for Apple
Somewhere last week, I read about a family doing an apple taste test. What a great idea! I went searching to see who it was and for the life of me cannot find it anywhere! UGH! So, my apologies to you, whomever you are, because I really want to pay respects but did not take very [...]
