Kristen and grandma thank Rubbermaid for the new containers


I can honestly say Rubbermaid has a new fan. I love so many features of the new containers.

First they're clear so you can see what's in them and they don't stain. They're dishwasher safe and microwave oven safe. The lids fit snug so food stays fresh. I even tried onions in one and had no smell in the frig.

Glue Dots crafting is easy and fun

My grandkids having a great time at the beach

I had never tried Glue Dots® Adhesives. I was so glad when TwitterMoms and Glue Dots® Adhesives teamed up and asked me to do a fun and creative Summer Bonding Project.

My grandkids went on a trip to Myrtle Beach, S.C., earlier this year and returned with sand, seashells, a sanddollar, sweet pictures and a cute magnet for me. So I decided to put a shadowbox together for my project.

A science project turns kids into Balloonatiks: Welcome to part 1 of the new online comic series


Five normal kids are accidentally gooped in a science experiment that goes awry at the Hot Air City Fair, and wind up with stretchy, bouncy, rubbery qualities that make their lives, zany, wild and balloony.

Now, all their problems from squabbling siblings to schoolyard rivalries are given an added twist. On top of all their previous concerns about fitting in, making friends and establishing their own identities, their lives are complicated by the fact that they are no longer typical kids.

Summer trips can be fun and educational, too, ask my grandsons

My grandsons recently returned from an unforgetable educational summer trip. They got to stay aboard the USS Yorktown in S.C. They also went aboard a submarine and went to Fort Sumter where they were chosen to help fold the American flag.

They learned so many things in such a short time. It was a once in a lifetime experience they'll never forget. They learned so much more by actually seeing history with their own eyes than they would just by reading it in a book.

Summer trips with the kids can be great learning experiences and fun at the same time. You don't have to go far from home, many are in your backyard.

Kristen goes fishing for the first time


Kristen got to go on her grandpa's boat for the first time when we went to watch fireworks for the Fourth of July. She had so much fun.

When she heard the guys were going fishing today, she wanted to go, too. And, fish she did. She caught her first fish. But, she didn't stop there. She caught a total of five fish for the day, beating all the guys on the boat.
