Life In Pleasantville
Food, Travel, Life
I had the pleasure of traveling to Williamsburg, Virginia last week on assignment for ChildMode. I loved Williamsburg so much I can’t wait to take my family back! I can’t say enough good things about it as a family travel destination. Aside from getting to follow a dream and travel, one of the best parts …
I love making my kids snacks for school. I try not to buy store bought treats because a) they’re expensive and b) they’re usually not made with the best ingredients.
