Birdie Waste
The birds are wasteful! Do they know how much food keeps falling out of the bird feeder?
I try to be a frugal mom, making things from scratch, hiding vegetables in everything, eating leftovers and staying within the food budget. So, I darn well am not going to go to the store for the birds more than for me!
So, here is my solution:
Some people might say "white trash". I even called myself that when I was on the phone with my mom complaining that there was more seed on the ground than in the feeder.
McGuyver would be so happy to know that his precious duct tape is helping me be a frugal mom and still feed the birds.
While I was tending to the feeder with the duct tape, I had this in the oven:
Homemade granola bars. Since we fight the peanut and tree nut allergies around here, granola bars from the store are 99% of the time, out of the question. So, today, I wanted to try my hand at making them. OH BOY! Are they good!
Thank you 50 bucks a week for the inspirational recipe. I did adjust it to things I had on hand and it turned out fabulously!

Preschool Finale
Zack has made it through his first year of preschool and we've seen him grow leaps and bounds! His first few weeks were filled with tons of separation anxiety. Now, he's eager for the door to open! One kiss, "bye Mom" and he's off! Here are some pictures of his final day of preschool.
The Last Day of First Grade
Today, Gabby made the giant leap from first grade to second grade. What an amazing year she's had. We are sad to say goodbye to first grade but thrilled to say hello to summer! Here are some moments of the last time she'll walk out of Room 51.
