A Rocking Recap

Well, we all survived another Single Parent Travel weekend at the Rocking Horse Ranch.  We had a little bit of “liquid sunshine” on Saturday but that did not dampen the spirits of the trail riders. In the end, there were 42 families and a total of 96 people. The kids had a blast as did the adults.

A GREAT Idea For Keeping Kids Straight

If your family is like mine, the kids are all over–soccer on this side of town, baseball on that side, and the all important mall on the other side of town. Throw in some school events like PTA meetings, recitals, plays, and the dreaded parent-teacher conference and keeping it all organized is a nightmare!
