Going to the Library with Kids

I love books. I could get lost in a book all day, which is really hard when I have three little ones running around. I can in get a chapter here or there. Sometimes my mommy guilt says "you can't read, you have dishes and laundry to do!" I'm still learning how to fight back that voice. Going to the library is a LIFESAVER for winter months here in Alaska. It is always fun to get new books, so we head to the library to check out some "new" books. Do you have a library card?

AK: Eating Right

What comes to mind when you think of a school lunch menu? Tater tots? Sloppy Joes? Chocolate Milk? Instead, imagine quinoa or brown rice, locally-grown salad or roasted brussel sprouts and baked fish or homemade pizza with whole grain crust. That’s the direction some U.S. schools are headed as they try to serve healthier meals and teach kids more about nutrition and exercise. Two Alaska districts are getting some national recognition for their efforts on that front.
