Published on Monday, October 3, 2011 by caryn [caption id="attachment_27210" align="alignright" width="159" caption="Photo Credit: a2td"][/caption] My little grazers would snack all day long if I allowed it, which is why I strive to keep fresh fruit, veggies, and whole grains on hand. My goal is to offer my children nutrient dense foods that are a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. One of the easi... Read More » -

Could Your Child’s Classroom Use a Make...
Published on Tuesday, September 13, 2011 by caryn My oldest started pre-k last week and we're fortunate that he has been able to attend a private school. But next year, he'll likely go to a public school as we're currently evaluating all of our options. With the economy in turmoil, many public schools are finding that they're lacking even the basics when it comes to supplies. I've heard many parents talk about ... Read More » -

How I Inspire My Children To Learn
Published on Wednesday, June 29, 2011 by caryn So much of what I remember from my childhood was associated with experiences. My mom used our weekend day trips to the beach to teach me about sea life and our vacations to expose me to art and history. Because I'm a hands-on learner, I've strived to provide my children with the same type of experiential learning. My son, who just turned four, is an active, inqu... Read More » -

Back To The Table With Libby’s
Published on Sunday, April 17, 2011 by caryn My husband and I have strived to set the precedent that the four of us will eat dinner together as a family every night. Mornings are rushed, and while we never skip breakfast, very often I'm taking bites here and there as I ready the kids for the day. We're separated for lunches, which leaves dinner as the only meal the four of us are together for. Families th... Read More » -

Light Summer Snacks Featuring Melba Toast
Published on Tuesday, May 11, 2010 by caryn Have you ever had an opportunity to try Melba Toast? I know it's hard to believe, but up until a week or so ago, I had never tried this crunchy little snack (and they've been around for 80 years!). They're great for snacking but I actually like the idea of using them as substitutes for higher calorie breads in recipes. They're available in eight flavors, four of... Read More » -

Published on Monday, April 12, 2010 by caryn I could eat salad every day and never tire of it, granted it includes fruits, nuts, and fancy cheeses. With two small children and a tightly packed schedule, I don't have time to pull a head of lettuce apart to make a salad. And the fact is, I've always preferred bagged salad over a head of lettuce. It makes it so much easier to toss in all of my "extras" in jus... Read More » -

Pregnant? Enter To Win a Babymoon!
Published on Tuesday, February 9, 2010 by caryn Right before our daughter was born, my husband and I took a trip up to Northern California for a "babymoon" of sorts. We knew it was going to be our last trip without children for awhile. My husband and I love to travel, but we're staying close to home these days because traveling with two children (especially on a plane) is difficult. If you're expecting a bab... Read More » -

Published on Sunday, January 24, 2010 by caryn As a busy mom of two, it's not uncommon to find me out and about without makeup, hair pulled up in a clip, sporting jeans, a tank top, and flip flops. This is my new reality. And while I'm so happy to have two beautiful children, it's definitely an adjustment to forego my previous beauty regimen because of time constraints. In the coming weeks, I'll be telling ... Read More » -
