Welcome to Aurora Macaroni Kid
HELP!
My friend mentioned the other day that I have a hard time asking for help. I don't know why she would say that. I mean, my husband and I only chose to spend 24 hours with no sleep moving because we were too silly to ask for help. No big deal right? Sigh. It was horrible. Really. Absolutely horrible. But it is done. The kids are happy and their move was simple. Mom and Dad have a few scars left. But we will survive!
Everyone hates to be asked ...

Macaroni Snacks
Bugs in a Bag
June 21st marks the first day of Summer and we all know that the longer children are at home, the more likely they are to snack. One way to reign in the constant snacking is to establish two different "Snack Times" (maybe 10am and 3pm) in your home. Once the snack schedule is established, it is important to stick to it, this way you won’t find yourself in the kitchen six to seven times (before lunch!) to fill yet another request. Also, keeping easy to eat, no-prep snack items ...
