Memorial Day

Memorial Day for most of us means a day off from work or school, the first long weekend of the summer, a trip to the beach or the mountains with family and friends. This Memorial Day, let's not forget the real reason we are able to celebrate this holiday each year. So thankful for the many men and women that gave their lives so that we can enjoy the freedoms that we do. Wishing you a blessed day and a wonderful week.

Blessings,

Happy "Maycember"...

It's that time of year that I've heard many refer to as "Maycember"...just as crazy and expensive (if not more so) than the holiday season in December. Preschool ends in 3 days (say what?!?!), and big kid school in 3 weeks. It's time for end-of-season soccer parties, piano and dance recitals (with costumes and flowers), teacher appreciation weeks, grandparents day/mother's day/ father's day school events, end-of-school celebrations, summer camp payments due, preschool advanced tuition payments due...life is crazy!!

But I wouldn't trade it for the world. In a few short weeks (or days, for the preschoolers) summer will be here...the pool will be open, the beach trips will be coming, the summer camp days will begin...this crazy pace of life will slow for a couple of months. We'll play in the sprinklers and plastic pools, we'll pick vegetables from our backyard gardens (or find great local ones at the farmers markets), we'll see fireflies, and stay up late...summer's coming and I can't wait!!

Blessings,

Strawberry Time!!!

It's Strawberry Picking Season! There are quite a few farms in the QC area that do pick-your-own strawberries, and those are the best kind in my opinion!! Check out the crop at Hall Family Farm (the QCB family's all time favorite),  Patterson Farm, Inc., or Carrigan Farms. Happy picking (and eating)!!!
