drive-in movie or a regular theater :: what do you prefer?
Drive-in movies were not something that we often think about when wanted to see a movie. We were so excited to take the kids to their first drive-in movie this summer. We ended up going two times actually. It was great because there was a double feature, so two for the price of one. If…

not your typical pb&j :: naturally nutty nut and seed butters spice up packed lunches
Back to School = Back to PB&J’s for my kids. Sure, we switch up the menu occasionally, but peanut butter and jelly still tops the list of the most requested lunch.
