What I Love About this Town...

I feel truly blessed to live in a town where my daughter can spot geese at the pool, at the mall, and -well- just about any where.  Yes, they're mean little boogers up close, but from a distance, they are a creature of awe.

She also gets a glimpse of deer in our backyard from time to time, and in many surprising spots.  There are horses down the street in a private backyard, as well as "in town" in Dunwoody.  Finally, we've spotted about a dozen ducks recently at our dear ol' Dagwoods.  After all, what's better to watch whilst eating one's pizza?

Yes, we live in a heavily populated, concrete-laden pocket of Atlanta; but we are still privy to select reminders that nature is still all around us, without having to take a drive out to "the country."

What signs of nature do YOU see near you?  :o)

Happy Wednesday, y'all!

Keep on saving!  :o)

Gift Guide for Toys to Keep Kids Moving

Before I dive in to great toys and activities to keep kids moving, a disclosure: portions of this post are sponsored.  I’ve received a form of compensation in exchange for featuring some of the items in this post; however all opinions, experiences, and bad puns are 100% my own. With kids’ birthdays sneaking up on you, and Christmas being a close -um- nine months away, it’s time to start pondering gift ideas for the kiddos in your life.  If you’re like me, you may be looking for toys and activities that promote getting active, rather than passively sitting in front of a screen.  While I’ve already mentioned games and activities for preschoolers, these toys are geared more for an older crowd, say ages 6 – 106.  😉 Here are some great gifts to keep kids moving, both indoors and outdoors: (Laser) Tag! You’re It!   My kids, particularly my son, enjoy a good game of Laser Tag, and have really dug the Laser X we got for Christmas last year.  We have recently added a few more L...
