One of the things I have really struggled with this year is getting into a good morning routine with my kids. Their school bus comes way too early, and we always seem to be running around like crazy in the morning, trying to get the backpacks and lunched packed, and the kids fed and dressed. It’s always chaotic and stressful, and a total mess! Now that we’re 3/4 of the way through the school year, I’ve finally discovered that the only way to make things work is to do as much prep as I can the night before....

I’ve spent quite a bit of time this year trying to teach my 7 and 9 year olds how to knit with knitting needles. It’s definitely been a struggle for them.

So that’s why we chose to add small dabs of peanut butter to all of the layers of our pinecones....
