Ringling Brothers (and Barnum and Bailey)

We recently had a wonderful time at the circus but I couldn't help but feel guilty about attending an event that's been under scrutiny for animal cruelty.  I am not sure how much truth there is to it but generally speaking, any animal captivity (circus, zoo, etc.) seems a bit cruel. OK, now that that's off my chest, here are some cute selfies of that day.

I am THAT Mom

You know that mom on Pinterest that everyone hates?  You know the one.  She's either knitting sweaters for her kids or making her whole grain, gluten-free snacks into all sorts of fun shapes.  Normally I am not so crafty, but when I saw this recent time-saving idea, I kind of fell in love with it.  It's a binder where you keep all the different foods your kids eat and you can then shuffle them around to create weekly menus.   I used vinyl business card holders and the front of the card has the name of the food and the back is used for recipes (where required).   The hope is to continue to expand this as the kids' taste changes and include more food .  Let's see how this goes!
