Hello!

I wanted to write a quick note to let you know that I am still around…. Goodness, I can’t believe how quickly the time has flown by! Today is the annual walk-a-thon and silent auction at my children’s school. I’m up extremely early with anticipation because this one day is the culmination of 6 months of planning. Part of me wants to complain about being so busy, but in truth I’m blessed to be able to work on this project for my children’s school.

Anything for the students – this is me as the school’s mascot during lunch!

I’ll leave you with a great after-school snack. This is a healthy, tasty & easy treat. Perfect for those busy days when you only have a few moments at home before you have to run off to the next thing. Also, the fresh fruit adds Vitamin C, potassium, fiber & antioxidants to keep your immune system strong.
