Age’s three to five is so much fun! Well most of the time. Their play is filled with imagination and they are curious about everything. My background is in Early Childhood Education and I have worked with this age group for over twenty years. I just love them. They are creative, honest, and lovable. And…

I’m amazed how one little seed produces so much food. It’s a plant that keeps on giving and giving. I like to make zucchini…
My eight year old son entered a sport cake decorating contest and the boy with the best cake got a basketball. I didn’t have time to bake the cake and so I picked up one from the bakery. For the decorations, I bought donuts and cookies for my son to make baseballs, basketballs, and soccer…
