A New Blog!

I am excited to say that I have a new blog! 

My friend Kim and I recently started www.KidEats.co.

Kim and I are always looking for better ways to feed our kids, and the blog is basically our place to share our favorite findings – everything from recipes to “brain food” activities. 

And... We are having a Christmas Cookie give-away right now!  Sign ups end this Friday - check it out here! 

And if you have time to browse, here are some of my favorite posts:

• Nativity Scene Printable - this is a one page print-out that you can laminate, cut out, and add magnets to.  
• "Rocket" Ranch Dip - a yummy way to add more veggies to your holiday diet!
• Edible Peanut Butter Play Dough - this was a really fun activity that kept us busy for a full hour!
• Yummy Chicken Balls - William doesn't really like meat, but he loves these! 

Kim and I both find so much encouragement (and great ideas) from other moms… and we hope that our blog can provide the same back to you! We look forward to hearing your comments over at KidEats!

I will still be updating our Lukefahr family blog as well. 

Best Friends

Is there anything better than Christmas through the eyes of a child?  William is so excited about all things Christmas this year!  Here are a few of my favorite memories so far:

• Him helping put ornaments on the tree. He will hang two ornaments on the same branch (like these birds) and say "they gonna be best friends." 
• Him asking for everything Christmas.  He has asked for a Christmas bath, and told me that he wants to wear Christmas clothes to school. 
• He knows his Christmas list by heart: Buzz & Woody Cars, new Play Dough, Cars Stuff, Train Stuff and Dora Stuff. 
• Every day, he asks "is it dark outside?" because he wants to drive around and look at Christmas lights! 
• He calls the Spiral Christmas Trees that some people put in their yard  "Cars Ramps"
• He calls Elf on the Shelf "Book on the Shelf". I guess Book is our elf's name. 
• Every morning, he asks for his "owl candy" (advent calendar candy.)  This really confused me until, today, I realized that there are several owls where I keep the advent calendar.  
• When we read the Polar Express and get to the part where Santa asks the little boy what he wants for the "first gift of Christmas", William quickly says "Buzz and Woody cars."
