Lily's visit to her Kindergarden class!

Last Thursday my daughter Lily and many of her soon to be classmates made a special trip to the Blandford-Bleheim school here in Drumbo.  All the JK students that will be starting this fall were invited to a one hour meet and greet to get a feel for the classroom and what to expect in the upcoming school year.  The students seemed to be enjoying themselves playing in the different areas of the room, which included a play doe area, making kites, listening during storey time and healthy snack before leaving.  I would like to thank Principal Rivard and all the Teachers who participated for taking time out of their busy schedules for this introduction.  Myself being a new mom to the school appreciated it and feel confident that my daughter is in good hands and will enjoy this new chapter in her life.

Dandelions taking over your lawn?

I don't know about you but my lawn is being over run by dandelions!!  My daughters and I spent a great deal of time last year digging them out thinking it would help prevent them in the spring, boy was I wrong.  They are back with a vengeance are twice as bad this year than last.  I thought I would share some information I found on How to maintain a healthy lawn, I'm going to follow 7 steps and hopefully I will have a beautiful lawn for our family to enjoy.  For more information on the 7 steps and how to keep your lawn healthy and flourishing click on the link below.
