Hearty Breakfast or a Late Night Snack? Modern Oats is the Answer!
People often say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I know that is definitely true for me because if I don't have a decent breakfast, then it is hard for me to focus on the day's tasks because I'm too busy ignoring my hunger pangs & wondering when my next meal will come.

Bridget Wilder: Spy-in-Training {Book Review}
As a mother of an elementary school-aged girl, I’m very conscious of the type of messages that are out there in the pop culture atmosphere. The animated movies that I grew up with usually focused on a damsel in distress, waiting for her prince to come rescue her or to wake her up from a deep sleep with a special kiss.
