I recently learned about Yellow Scope, a company that creates science kits that are engaging and interactive, so we had to try one out!  Yellow Scope: DNA & Traits - From Codes to Creatures We chose the Read more [...]

Three years ago last month my dad was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. It was very advanced already at that time he had over a dozen bone mets. My dad was 72, almost 73...not young enough to where cancer can be a total surprise, really in anyone. Still, up to that point he had no real health issues. He was physically active for his age, living on a small farm, doing yard work, etc. So even though in hindsight maybe it shouldn't have been, it was still a shock at first. 

Now, 3 years Read more [...]

This 'DMoose Pull Up Doorway Bar' post is sponsored by DMoose.  As always, all opinions are my own.
Our kids love to hear my husband tell stories from his childhood.  I have to admit, so do I.  He had a much more adventurous upbringing than I did but I'm sure that's in part because he had 5 siblings, lived in the country, and farmed.  We only had 3 kids in our family total and I spent the majority of my childhood at home with my sister while my parents worked and my brother went Read more [...]
