Everything I could possibly need throughout the day can be found in my bag. My bag is my back to school station that I take with me wherever I go. It carries necessities for each and every one of my children- as well as my own necessities. It has diapers and wipes, a stroller lock, a travel nail kit, a snack, and so much more. But the most important items in my bag are the ones that keep me organized and connected. Like my tmobile free data 4g Trio AXS tablet.

More Dip Please – A Super Simple and Delicious Bean Dip #Recipe.

I have a couple dishes that I make when I get together with friends and family. I have my deviled eggs, my Bruschetta, and my bean dip that are frequently requested. The bean dip recipe is by far the easiest to make and is super quick to whip together. In fact I frequently make it as a side dish on nights that I cook tacos for dinner. The last time I made my bean dip and was asked for the recipe I came to the realization that I had not shared this recipe on the blog yet. So without further ado, here is my bean dip deliciousness.

  

Free Back to School Printables for Preschool - Eighth Grade

My mother-in-law made my husband a yearly scrapbook of his back to school photos and interviews growing up. She gave me this book when I married her son as well as a lot of other mementos. It is one of my favorite things to look through and I know that my children would love something like this as well. So I decided to do something similar to this for my children. I created a start of school year photo card prop as well as an end of school year photo card prop for Preschool through Eighth Grade. I also created a start of school year interview sheet as well as an end of school year interview sheet for Preschool through Eighth Grade. These back to school printables are completely free and I hope you enjoy them.

  

Fun & Free in Illinois: Red Oak Nature Center

The Red Oak Nature Center is a great way to spend a Saturday with the family.  Earlier this summer my husband made the suggestion that we take the kids and hit the trail and have a picnic. In our constant rush to make practices, get to appointment, and go to sporting events - this time of unwinding and relaxing was the perfect way to spend a day. It was also nice to discover that the Red Oak Nature Center recently redid their discovery room.
