Picnic Blanket

Picnic Blanket

We packed a lunch and got into the van, not sure what to expect. We had been to many national parks before but this one was different. We were ready for a day of hiking, a picnic and Jr. Ranger badges. That is not what we got. Most people speak highly of Yellowstone National Park, […]

Beans, Beans the magical fruit

Beans, Beans the magical fruit

Beans are amazing.  They are full of protein, fiber, nutrients and antioxidants.  They are so easy to make and are very inexpensive.
